Like a Rocket Man Lyrics

Little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain
Nothing stops the go-to girl, nothing takes the place of taking aim
Little wendy's out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes
Crazy drives that dizzy crowd
Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair
She sells and moves and finds my hand
And pulls me down and close so I can hardly stand
As I lay like dead for her, I'm fed into my head I'm led, oh, I am sam
I'm crawling from the window, crawling down the wall
I'm happy screaming, yes, I am
I'm jumping on her daisy chain
I'm speeding through the dancehall Like a Rocket Man
Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and
I could squeeze her grabby hand
Knowing that I never paid her for a gram
She's a drunken doxy off her trolly
Sent before her time into this poxy world
She's not fit for anything but dealing it
While heaven sings, I have this girl
She's got me eating rice and beans
I have no shape nor color, I'm god's lonely man
I don't want to die but I don't want to live
I'm speeding like a rocket man

Like a rocket man
Like a rocket man
Like a rocket ma

Like a Rocket Man

This song finds Bowie being as direct as he has ever been with his drug references: "I'm speeding through the dancehall like a Rocket Man." Producer Tony Visconti commented to NME that the song "has a deceptively bouncy beat, but lyrically it goes to more dark places – and this time David sings it with a cheeky smile."

God Bless the Girl Lyrics

Jacqui loves her work, and her work is love
For there is no other
She says "god has given me a job"
Jacqui loves her work
There is no other
Jacqui's aiming for the stars but landed on the clouds
There is no other
Sitting in her corner too afraid to run away
Like a slave without chains

The wonder turns to danger, spring turns to winter
God Bless the Girl
But I will treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water, light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
And I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl
God bless the girl
Yeah, I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl

You don't need another friend, you just need a reason
There is no other
Jacqui loves her work, and her work is love
For there is no other

The wonder turns to danger, spring turns to winter
God bless the girl
But I will always treasure, treasure every single moment
God bless the girl
Fire turns to water and light becomes darkness
God bless the girl
I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl
God bless the girl
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
I don't wanna hurt you, just wanna have some fun
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
The years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
Years pass so swiftly
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)
God bless the girl (God bless the girl)

God Bless the Girl

This energized track had the working title "Gospel" for a long time until it was finished towards the end of recording.

At one point this was included on The Next Day and moved up and down the tracklisting, then it was off the album, then back on. Ultimately it was designated to be a bonus track for the Japanese album release, as well as featuring on the expanded three-disc collector's edition of the LP, The Next Day Extra.

So She Lyrics

So She

This is the closing bonus track on The Next Day Extra, an expanded three-disc collector's edition of Bowie's first studio album in 10 years, The Next Day. Producer Tony Visconti commented to NME: "I am far from the best interpreter of Bowie lyrics, but I'll stick my neck out one more time. 'So She' is a wistfully sung love song. It kind of makes me feel romantically sad. Harmonically it is quite sophisticated for such a short piece."
