five years (old grey whistle test performance) - david bowie lyrics

[verse 1]
pushing through the market square
so many mothers crying
the news had just come over
we had five years left to sigh in
news guy wept when he told us
earth was really dying
cried so much his face was wet
then i knew he was not lying
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
i saw boys, toys, electric irons, and tvs
my brain hurt like a warehouse, had no room to spare
i had to cram so much, everything in there
so many people
all the short, fat people
and all the n0body people
and all the somebody people
i never thought i’d need so many people

[verse 2]
a girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
if the black hadn’t have pulled her off
i think she would have k!lled them
a soldier with a broken arm
fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
and i think i saw you in an ice*cream parlour
drinking milkshakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine
don’t think you knew you were in my song
and it was cold and it rained, so i felt like an actor
and i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there
your face, your race, the way that you walk
i kiss you, you’re beautiful, i want you to walk
[outro]
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
we’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
five years, brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
we’ve got five years
five years, what a surprise
five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, that’s all we’ve got
