Song lyrics you never understood.

Never really understood these lyrics.

I seem to remember seeing a documentary on David Bowie years ago in which it showed him writing a song by writing single lines of lyrics on small pieces of paper, then randomly rearranging the papers to make the song.

Yep you did see that it was part of a film of him in America doing the David Live tour, if I remember rightly the song he related the process was Moonage daydream. Please don't stone me if I got all that wrong.

 

[Barcon]

 

[Grassland Blue]

Substitute scousers for dancer and it begins to make more sense....

The Lord’s Prayer....’white shirts in heaven, Harold be thy name ‘ ....what’s that all about ?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

“I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand…”

Sounds dark and meaningful, and like something that I should understand, but I don't really know what he's talking about. One of my absolute classics by them, by the way.

 

[Barcon]

Substitute scousers for dancer and it begins to make more sense....

Hold me closer tiny scouser? I think not mate.

“I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand…”

Sounds dark and meaningful, and like something that I should understand, but I don't really know what he's talking about. One of my absolute classics by them, by the way.

It's guide isn't it?

Money can’t buy me love

Andrew Lloyd Webber disagrees
