And who can bear to be forgotten

I recently watched a movie where David Bowie played as a prisoner of war, the movie was Merry Christmas Mr Laurence, it was such a good movie....  One of the lines that was pointed out is when David Bowie says in his prison cell, "I wish I could sing...", for thoses of you who haven't heard a David Bowie song, here's a few for you from his album Let's Dance, he CAN sing.

Ricochet

Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe

Ricochet - Ricochet

The world is on a corner waiting for jobs

Ricochet - Ricochet

Turn the holy pictures

so they face the wall

And who can bear to be forgotten

And who can bear to be forgotten

March of flowers - March of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep

Dreaming of tramlines, factories, pieces of machinery

Mine shafts, things like that

March of flowers - March of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet - It's not the end of the world

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet - Ricochet

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Teaching life in a violent new way

Ricochet - Ricochet

Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall

And who can bear to be forgotten

And who can bear to be forgotten

March of flowers, march of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Early, before the sun,

they struggle off to the gates

In their secret fearful places

they see their lives

Unravelling before them

March of flowers, march of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet

it's not the end of the world

But when they get home,

damp eyed and weary

They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests

Making unfulfillable promises

For who can bear to be forgotten

Criminal World

You never told me of your other faces

You were the widow of a wild cat

And now I know about your special kisses

And I know you know where that's at

I guess I recognize your destination

I think I see beneath your make-up

What you want is sort of separation

This is no ordinary

This is no ordinary

(ah, ah, ah)

What a criminal world

The boys are like baby-faced girls

What a criminal girl

She'll show you where to shoot your gun

What a typical mother's son

The only thing that she enjoys

Is a criminal worl

Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

You've got a very heavy reputation

But no one knows about your low-life

I know a way

to find a situation

And hold a candle

to your high life disguise

You caught me kneeling

at your sister's door

That was no ordinary stick-up

I'm well aware just

what you're looking for

I am no ordinary

I am no ordinary

(ah, ah, ah)

What a criminal world

The boys are like baby-faced girls

What a criminal girl

She'll show you where to shoot your gun

What a typical mother's son

The only thing that she enjoys

Is a criminal world

Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

Modern Love

I know when to go out

I know when to stay in

Get things done

I catch a paper boy

But things don't really change

I'm standing in the wind

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

There's no sign of life

It's just the power to charm

I'm lying in the rain

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - don't believe in modern love

It's not really work

It's just the power to charm

I'm still standing in the wind

But I never wave bye bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - don't believe in modern love

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - I don't believe in modern love

Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love

Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love

Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me

Modern love - Modern love, walks on by

Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me

Modern love - Modern love, walks on by

Never gonna fall for

Never gonna fall for

Let's Dance

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let's dance to the song

they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway

while color lights up your face

Let's sway

sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

Let's dance for fear

your grace should fall

Let's dance for fear tonight is all

Let's sway you could look into my eyes

Let's sway under the moonlight,

this serious moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

Let's dance put on your red shoes

and dance the blues

Let's dance to the song

they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway you could look into my eyes

Let's sway under the moonlight,

this serious moonlight

I LOVE DAVID BOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
