Subject: LADY STARDUST by David Bowie
Lady Stardust (original album version)
(words & music by David Bowie)
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
(#7)
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
The femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs to make thier point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long
Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Oh they were alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, and the song went on forever
He was up all night
Really quite out of sight
He sang all night long
