Lay me place and bake me Pie
I'm starving for me Gravy
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked
I might just slip away
Something I grew up with; far better than the more recent work as so often, alas. I wouldn't know how to interpret the lyric of this song other than suggesting that there are layers of ghosts within it.

With my first paycheck (16 yrs old) I bought CHANGESONEBOWIE. Never having personal exposure or experience with LGBT issues at that age, Bowie's music and performances opened up a world I was unfamiliar with and, I'm sure, shaped my easy acceptance of different lifestyle's when I did eventually come into contact with them.
Too many great songs, too many great lyrics, but for this day maybe a quote from 'Heroes'
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day
Maybe it's our age - but Hunky Dory was where I went this morning too. Which is odd because I didn't hear this until I was in college, 15 years after it came out.
I agree. "Hunky Dory" was the high point, and although "Ziggy Stardust" was also pretty good, "Aladdin Sane" was the start of a downhill trend. Also, was "stream of warm impermanence" a precient description of WUWT?
Oops. s/precient/prescient.
