David Bowie : Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)

1.IT’S NO GAME (part 1)
Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai
Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
It's no game
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka
Hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii
I am bored from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game
Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
You throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday,
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain,
and it makes all the papers
Nammin no kiroku eiga
Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
Kona gona ni kudake
Kino ni huta o sureba
Kyohu wa masu
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
Shinbun wa kaki tateru
So where's the moral
when people have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists
it's so degrading
And it's no game
Shut up! Shut up!
2.UP THE HILL BACKWARDS
The vacuum created
by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling
witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled
it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
More idols than realities
I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
3.SCARY MONSTERS (AND SUPERCREEPS)
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way
she do, and she do
She opened strange doors
that we'd never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay and I stole her room
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise
I love the little girl and I'll love her
till the day she dies
Jimmy's guitar sound jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
4.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
I want an axe to break the ice
I want to come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom’s a junky
My mother said to get things done
You 'd better not mess with Major Tom
5.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
Oh, bop, do do do do do do do do
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion
6.TEENAGE WILDLIFE
Well, how come you only want tomorrow
With its promise of something hard to do
A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
Blue skies above and sun on your arms
strength in your stride
And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
Blinded with desire guess the season is on
So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
Break open your million dollar weapon
And you push , still you push, still you push your luck
A broken nosed mogul are you
One of the new wave boys9
Same old thing in brand new drag
Comes sweeping into view
As ugly as a teenage millionaire
Pretending
it's a whizz kid world
You'll take me aside, and say
"Well, David, what shall I do?
They wait for me in the hallway"
I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"
But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one, no-no
They can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife
Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
You're alone for maybe the last time
And you breathe for a long time
Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
And you daren't look behind
You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
And look up one time at that vast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
No no I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
And no one will have seen and no one will confess
The fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass the test
And there'll be others on the line filing past
who'll whisper low
I miss you he had to go
Each to his own, he was
Just another piece of teenage wildlife
7.SCREAM LIKE A BABY
Well I wouldn't buy no merchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other colours
But the nurse doesn't care
And I hide under blankets
Or did I run away
I really can't remember
Last time I saw the light of day
But I remember Sam 'cause he was like me
Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun
Well they came down hard on the faggots
And they came down hard on the street
They came down harder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat
He was thrown into the wagon
Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us
And took away our clothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs
And oh I saw Sam falling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me down to sleep
And now I close my eyes
Now I'm learning to be a part of society
Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun
No athletic program, no discipline, no book
He just sat in the backseat
swearing he'd seek revenge
But he jumped into the furnace
Singing old songs we loved
Scream like a baby
Sam was a gun
But I never knew his last name
And we never had no fun
8.KINGDOM COME
Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries "It's all in vain"
The face of doom was shining in my room
I just need one day somewhere far away
Lord I just need one day
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
What's my price to pay
Well the river's so muddy, but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Give me the night, I can't take another sight
Please, give me the night
The sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
Up in the towers they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die
But they ‘ll open these cells when the kingdom comes
I won't be breaking no rocks when the kingdom comes
Yes they ‘ll open these cells when the kingdom comes
I won’t fear their talk when the kingdom comes
I’m coming up for pardon when the kingdom comes
Well pardon me when the kingdom comes
I won't be breaking no rocks
I won't be breaking no rocks
I won't be breaking no rocks
I won't be breaking no rocks
When the kingdom comes
9.BECAUSE YOU’RE YOUNG
Psychodelicate girl - come out to play
Little metal faced-boy don't stay away
They're so war-torn and resigned
she can't talk any more
What are they trying to prove
What would they like to find
It's love back to front and no sides
like I say
These pieces are broken - like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I'm wrong but I know
Because you're young
you'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young -
what could be nicer for you
and it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
He punishes hard
was loving her such a crime
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive
It's love back to front and no sides
like I say
These pieces are broken - like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I'm wrong but I know
Because you're young
you'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
what could be nicer for you
and it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
A million dreams
A million scars
10.IT‘S NO GAME (part 2)
Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists is so degrading
And it's no game
Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road
and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
And it makes all the papers
And it's no game
Children round the world,
put camel shit on the walls
They're making carpets on treadmills,
or garbage sorting
And it's no game
Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai
Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
It's no game
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka
Hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii
I am bored from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game
Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
You throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday,
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain,
and it makes all the papers
Nammin no kiroku eiga
Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
Kona gona ni kudake
Kino ni huta o sureba
Kyohu wa masu
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
Shinbun wa kaki tateru
So where's the moral
when people have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists
it's so degrading
And it's no game
Shut up! Shut up!
2.UP THE HILL BACKWARDS
The vacuum created
by the arrival of freedom
And the possibilities it seems to offer
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
A series of shocks - sneakers fall apart
Earth keeps on rolling
witnesses falling
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
While we sleep they go to work
We're legally crippled
it's the death of love
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you,
if one can grasp it
More idols than realities
I'm OK, you're so-so
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
