1.ALADDIN SANE

Watching him dash away
Swinging an old bouquet - dead roses
Sake and strange divine uh-uh-uh-uh, you'll make it
Passionate bright young things,
takes him away to war - don't fake it
Saddening glissando strings
You’ll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Motor sensational, Paris or maybe hell - I'm waiting
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane - you'll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane
Love Aladdin Sane
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane

2.OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they're here to stay
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
Let me say it again
You gotta make way
for the Homo Superior
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

3.STARMAN

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was laying down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

4.1984

Someday they won't let you, so now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw of 1984
They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984, who could ask for more
1984, who could ask for more
More
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

5.ASHES TO ASHES

Do you remember a guy that's been in such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junky
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

6.SOUND AND VISION

Don't you wonder sometimes
About sound and vision
Blue, blue, electric blue
That's the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue
Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue
I will sit right down,
Waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude, over my head
Don't you wonder sometimes
About sound and vision

7.FASHION

There's a brand new dance but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes do again and again
It's big and it's bland full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here
Fashion - turn to the left
Fashion - turn to the right
Oh, fashion
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town
Beep-beep
Beep-beep
Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep
There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear
That people from good homes are talking this year
It's loud and tasteless and I've heard it before
You shout it while you're dancing on the whole dance floor
Oh bop, fashion
Listen to me - don't listen to me
Talk to me - don't talk to me
Dance with me - don't dance with me, no
Beep-beep
Beep-beep

8.WILD IS THE WIND

Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress, satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind, wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself
Like the leaf clings to the tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures of the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Like the leaf clings to the tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're like creatures in the wind, and wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

9.JOHN IM ONLY DANCING AGAIN

Dancing- I'm having so much love
Dancing-Too bad my back had gone
Dancing-Boogie down with daddy now
I'd give my house in the country
If you'd slept it's so funky
Music-I'm dancing in the street
Oh music- I've torn the shoes from my feet
Romancing- It's got me dirty and sweet
It's got you reeling and rocking
Won't you let the slender thing in
Rolling- I think it's all I can do
Rolling- Just got me feeling you too
Rolling Get a little take a little
Get a little back
Jumping John the great goose is gone
Got a lion in my hand
Got a Charlie on my back
John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, oh get you with me
Don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing, oh
I'm only dancing, oh
Dancing -Have you heard the news
Dancing -President has got the blues
Dancing- I tell you comfortably
If he gives it to you
He'd better take it from me
Said Sir- I pick up the bones
Said Sir- Leave the numbers alone
Said Sir- Get off your telephone
Look the people in the eye
Tell them my oh my
Let your backbone slide
Buddy whistle and cry
John, she turns me on
Don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing
John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, I'm only dancing
She turns me on, I lost my feel
Don't get me wrong, I'm off on my way
I'm only dancing, oh please dance with me
I'm only dancing please dance with me
I'm only dancing
Can see no care
Lost my fear
Trapped Charlie dance on
Got white light
Got black light
Got white light
Lay you dance on
I'm only, I'm only, I'm only
Lay you dance on
Lay you dance on
Lay you dance on
Gotta give me know
Dancing- gotta give me know
Dancing- gotta give me know

10. D.J.

I'm home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I got believers –kiss kiss
Believing me
One more weekend of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around no
I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers –kiss kiss
Believing me
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can turn around no-kiss kiss
Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D.J., and I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers in me
I've got believers
I am a D.J., I am what I play
