Greetings all,
I was requested to repost my discovery from the 'other' forum to here, so here she comes!
"There were maybe two incidents which created the Ziggy Stardust thing for me - or put it firmly in my mind that it was an interesting way to go. One was the fact that I went to see the Velvet Underground when I first got to the States in 1970. At the end of the show I went back and sat down and we talked for about half an hour. Then I told my friend a few days later that I got the chance to speak with Lou and you know it was wonderful and we talked ... He said "No... no...Lou left the band last year. You were talking to Doug Yule - his replacement - who is almost his spitting image." I said "You're kidding me!- but he sat there and talked as though he was Lou and he was talking about how he wrote "Waiting For The Man" and all these things!" And it was at that point that I realised that, at the time, it didn't matter to me if this was the real one or a fake one. So that was one half of the puzzle that could be the Ziggy Stardust type figure - is he real or is he artificial? And the other one was a guy called Vince Taylor..." - David Bowie (2000)
The Rise and Faul of Paul McCartney and the Beatles From Liverpool.
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust Song Lyrics
Ziggy ( Paul ) played guitar, jamming good with Weird (John) and Gilly (George)
The Spiders from Mars.(Beatles from Liverpool) He played it left hand (yep, Paul was a Lefty)
But made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's ( Billy's ) band
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes ( Yes those Eyes ) and screwed down hairdo (top wig anyone?)
Like some cat from Japan(Budokan), he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang( Well he did didn't he?)
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan. ( Ahem... Paul the Caucasian Bull... )
So where were the spiders( Beatles) while the fly ( on the wall ie: intelligence) tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans(Because they couldn;t see Bill!) and should we crush his sweet hands?(Whooeeee!!!!!!
They really wanted it over!)
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo(Paul's Soul in to Faul's Body in India)
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar (Remember Taxman?, Yesterday?)(perhaps also a question about Bill's ability to actually play )
Making love with his ego( Bill breaking the Contract) Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.
Oh yeah
Ooooooo
Ziggy played guitaarrrrrr

David Bowie - Starman
Goodbye love
Didn’t know what time it was the lights were low oh oh
I leaned back on my radio oh oh
Some cat was layin’ down some rock ’n’ roll ’lotta soul, he said ( Hearing the real Paul )
Then the loud sound did seem to fade a ade ( Paul Dies )
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase ha hase ( Bill's phased ( filtered ) vocals, slower paced than Paul )
That weren’t no d.j. that was hazy cosmic jive ( exactly , hehe )
[Chorus]
There’s a starman waiting in the sky ( Faul/Bill = Starman )
He’d like to come and meet us ( Bill would like to meet David and the person he called on the phone ( next verse ) )
But he thinks he’d blow our minds ( True enough... )
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it ( Don't squawk and give it all away )
'Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile ( Being a replacement that is )
He told me:
Let the children lose it ( the old memory of Paul)
Let the children use it ( the new memory of Faul )
Let all the children boogie ( it's just music, after all )
I had to phone someone so I picked on you ho ho ( this is too much , I have to check my ears... )
Hey, that’s far out so you heard him too! o o ( not my ears then )
Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two ( BBC 2 ?, All You Need is Love? Hey Jude?, An interview?)
Look out your window I can see his light a ight (Is he driving up then?)
If we can sparkle he may land tonight a ight ( If we talk to Bill just so, maybe he'll talk to us?)
Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright ( tell no one, or else Bill gets ya locked up! )
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
La (96x)
Bowie knew EVERYTHING! Davey Jones was 'initiated'.
He knew that William Shepherd was...
The Man Who Sold the World
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
