Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
Saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store
Everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kiss the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained
So I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma
and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We got five years, stuck on my eyes
We got five years, what a surprise
We got five years, my brain hurts a lot
We got five years, that's all we've got

sometimes i crawl right inside of a song and just hang out for a few years

it comforts me

people should not automatically dismiss Marilyn Manson. Most of the songs are incredibly complex and beautiful

case in point

[youtube]/v/RenbBrBAUnY?fs=1&hl=en_US[/youtube]

And I won't make you kneel
For anyone
But me
I won't promise a star
Don't promise your soul
Well say that we don't believe


I'll keep you wet
When the world is dry
U can see them coming
I'll take you back inside
If they came for answer I'll
Weap my claws round your mouth tight
We'll consume each other
Until there's nothing left to hide
And they can all drown in our blood

I am a massive Bowie fan , and this as never been a fav until the other day when i was playing Heroes lp. It just lept out at me after all these years ( a bit like i want you( shes so heavy) by the beatles)

I like _some_[/u] Bowie. Im not really a fan of his eighties stuff. I would say "five years" is probably my fav song by him,and i also like some of his late nineties collaborations.

Bowie has been a HUGE influence to some of my favorite bands, like Bauhaus, Placebo, and PJ Harvey

Nice cover of 5 years . I havnt heard that much by PJ....but that is my fav. I agree about Bowie, He made 11 classics on the bounce( unmatched by ANYONE IMO) , and then lost the plot in the 80s with 3 duff lps. Many people slag off tin machine , but IMO that was Bowie getting his muse back, and that he did
Bowie admits this himself...
"The three or four years that followed 'Let's Dance' were for me particularly tough about reevaluating what I wanted. I thought, 'Who are these people? They kind of look like a Phil Collins audience.' Suddenly, I had all these people for whom the songs on the radio--'China Girl', 'Modern Girl' and 'Let's Dance'--had become my oeurve. That was all they knew of me, and it was MOR [middle of the road] enough that it encouraged this enormous audience. And I started thinking, What kind of music would they like? I was ******* izing who and what I am and didn't know how to break out of it." --David Bowie in GQ, January 1997.

Mccartney lost the plot in the 80s, but never really got it back.

Anyway i am listening to
The last shadow puppets- age of the understatement

To me, it is really song by song with Bowie, but I agree he is a legend, and early pioneer of professional Androgyny But, I dont like The Beatles at all

I have nothing againt them, just not my style. Im not really into such simple pop songs, except maybe Nirvana. And you know how I love Morrissey

Do you litke THe Mars Volta ?

I am listening to them.

Everyone, PLEASE, give this band a chance. It is a fusion of so many things and he has an amazing voice

Even if you think my taste of music is honeysuckle, you may like this
