David Bowie : Black Tie White Noise
Les paroles
1. THE WEDDING
(Instrumental)
2. YOU ‘VE BEEN AROUND
Where's the pain in the violent night
I'm depressed by the grin
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted violin
It's the nature of being
It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell bad from wrong
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
Where the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension
It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell good from bad
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
You've been around
Can't pass you by
You've been around
But you've changed me
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
You've been around
Can't pass you by
3. I FEEL FREE
Dear when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free
I can walk down the street
There's no one there
The pavement is one huge crowd
I can drive down the road
My eyes can't see
But my mind wants to cry out loud
I feel free
Dance floor is like the sea
The ceiling is the sky
You're the sun, and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
4. BLACK TIE WHITE NOISE
Getting my facts from a Benetton ad
I'm looking thru African eyes
Lit by the glare of an L.A. fire
I've got a face, not just my race, Bang
Bang I've got you babe
Sun comes up and the man goes down
And the woman comes again
Just an hour or so to be safe from fear
Then we jump thru hoops, we're divisible now, just disappear
We reach out over race and hold each other's hands
Then die in the flames singing "we shall overcome"
Whoa! What's going on?
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me
But I look into your eyes
And I wonder sometimes
Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lord just let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together.
Reach over race and hold each other's hands
Walk thru the night thinking we are the world
What's going on
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me
But I wonder why
Yes, and I wonder why sometimes
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Fascist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, Who's got the gun.
Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise
Just a fool
5. JUMP THEY SAY
When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire
They say he has no brain
They say he has no mood
They say he was born again
They say look at him climb
They say: 'jump'
They say he has two gods
They say he has no fear
They say he has no eyes
They say he has no mouth
They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd
They say: 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
Got to believe
6. NITE FLIGHTS
There's no hold
The moving has come through
The danger passing you
Turns its face into the heat and runs the tunnels
It's so cold
The dark dug up by dogs
The stiches torn and broke
The raw meat fist you choke
Has hit the bloodlite
Glass traps open and close on nite flights
Broken necks feather weights press the walls
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to fall
Glass traps open and close on nite flights
Broken necks feather weights press the walls
Be my love, we will be gods on nite flights
With only one promise, only one way to call
On nite flights
Only one way to fall
7. PALLAS ATHENA
God is on top of it all
That's all
We are we are we are
8. MIRACLE GOODNIGHT
Burning up each others' love, burning up our lives
Tried all kinds of working out, miracle goodnight
Future full and empty knocking on my door
Ragged limbed and hungry mama
Miracle no more
Skin tell me, turn it around
Head tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing
Morning star you're beautiful, yellow dime on high
Spin you round my little room, miracle goodnight
Evening flower all alone, pazanane capeche
Haven't got a death wish, just want a little more
Skin tell me, turn it around
Head tell me, make it all right
Nobody dancing, miracle goodnight
Breath tell me, turn it around
Heart tell me, make it all right
Nobody dancing, it was only make believe
I wish I was a sailor a thousand miles from here
I wished I had a future, anywhere
I love you in the morning sun, I love you in my dreams
I love the sound of making love, the feeling of your skin
The corner of your eyes, I long forevermore
I never want to say goodnight, miracle goodnight
Don't want to know the past, I want to know the real deal
I really don't want to know that
The less we know, the better we feel
Morning star you're beautiful, yellow diamond high
Spinning around my little room, miracle
Skin tell me, turn it around
Moon tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing, it was only make believe
Eyes tell me, turn it around
News tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing
9. DONT LET ME DOWN & DOWN
Still I keep my love for you
No place to hide no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
I know there's something in the wind
That crazy balance of my mind
What kind of fool are you and I
Scared to death and tell me why
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
Still I keep my love for you
You made a date with destiny
You jog-jog in my memory
You haunt in mind not fade away
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Still I keep my love for you
No place to hide, no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
10. LOOKING FOR LESTER
(Instrumental)
11. I KNOW IT’S GONNA HAPPEN SOMEDAY
My love wherever you are
Whatever you are, don't lose faith
I know it's gonna happen someday to you
Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don't lose faith
You say that the day never arrives
And it's never seemed so far away
But I know it's gonna happen someday to you
Please wait
Please wait
Wait, don't lose faith
Please wait
Please wait
Please, don't lose faith
Don't lose faith
You say that the day never arrives
And it seems so far away
But I know it's gonna happen someday
Someday to you, to you
Please wait
12. THE WEDDING SONG
These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for life
Dreaming alone and I feel that someone
Listens to me
Angel for life
These are silver wings
These are golden eyes
These are floating clouds
Angel for life
Heaven is smiling down, heaven's girl in a wedding gown
I'm gonna be so good, just like a good boy should
I'm gonna change my ways
Angel for life
Of all the saints alive
Don't I feel like a saint alive
She's not mine for eternity
Though I'll never fly so high
I'm smiling
I believe in magic
Angel for life
BONUSTRACKS (RE-ISSUE 2003)
1. REAL COOL WORLD
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this Real Cool World
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
It's a Cool World
It's a Cool World
It's a Real Cool World
It's a Real Cool World
It's a Real Cool World
It's a Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Now there is you
In my Real Cool World
Mmmm
Real Cool World
2. LUCY CAN'T DANCE
Lucy I know what you're going to going to do
Oh Lucy look what you're doing I'm doing it too
Now you're looking for God in exciting new ways
I say trust Him at once which is something these days
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she
Knows what the noise can do (x2)
Did the world just explode?
Don't recognize anyone
But you've still got me under your thumb
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she
Knows what the noise can do
Pursuing your frenzy in Ritz or Savoy
In this sexual noise, vicious chords
Offer joy
You live and you die in the blink of an eye
Well I can't make you dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she
Knows what the noise can do (x2)
Dance to the noise
Lucy I know what you're going to going to do
But you can't buy me off in this serial world
Who who who died and made you material girl?
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she
Knows what the noise can do
So I'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong
Guess I'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song
Lucy can't dance to the noise but
She knows what the noise can do
Or this shallow orb mugged by reality
Just a few simple words like I love you, I need you
Live and you die in the blink of an eye
Still I can't make you dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
You've been around
Can't pass you by
3. I FEEL FREE
Dear when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free

There's no one there
The pavement is one huge crowd
I can drive down the road

I feel free
Dance floor is like the sea
The ceiling is the sky
You're the sun, and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

Oh Lord, just let him see me
Lord, Lord just let him hear me
Let him call me brother
Let him put his arms around me
Let him put his hands together.
Reach over race and hold each other's hands
Walk thru the night thinking we are the world
What's going on
There'll be some blood no doubt about it
But we'll come thru don't doubt it
I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me
You won't kill me
You won't kill me
But I wonder why
Yes, and I wonder why sometimes
They'll show us how to break the rules
But never how to make the rules
Reduce us down to witless punks
Fascist cries both black and white, who's got the blood, Who's got the gun.
Putting on the black tie, cranking out the white noise
Just a fool

8. MIRACLE GOODNIGHT
Burning up each others' love, burning up our lives
Tried all kinds of working out, miracle goodnight
Future full and empty knocking on my door
Ragged limbed and hungry mama
Miracle no more
Skin tell me, turn it around
Head tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing
Morning star you're beautiful, yellow dime on high
Spin you round my little room, miracle goodnight
Evening flower all alone, pazanane capeche
Haven't got a death wish, just want a little more
Skin tell me, turn it around
Head tell me, make it all right
Nobody dancing, miracle goodnight
Breath tell me, turn it around
Heart tell me, make it all right
Nobody dancing, it was only make believe
I wish I was a sailor a thousand miles from here

I love you in the morning sun, I love you in my dreams

The corner of your eyes, I long forevermore
I never want to say goodnight, miracle goodnight
Don't want to know the past, I want to know the real deal
I really don't want to know that
The less we know, the better we feel
Morning star you're beautiful, yellow diamond high
Spinning around my little room, miracle
Skin tell me, turn it around
Moon tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing, it was only make believe
Eyes tell me, turn it around
News tell me, make it alright
Nobody dancing
9. DONT LET ME DOWN & DOWN

She's not mine for eternity
Though I'll never fly so high
I'm smiling
I believe in magic
Angel for life
