this track closes the Ziggy Lp and famously 'killed' off Ziggy in concert - it's our sixth in a series of Bowie covers and Gary's guitar is brilliant (deft touch)

Story behind the song
we've done a few Bowie covers and we have another coming up soon, 'Let's Dance' minus Nile, minus the funk (we've gone for a Trent Reznor industrial mix, lol!)
Lyrics
Time takes a cigarette
Puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger
Then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling
It lingers, then you forget
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a café, but you don't eat
When you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
Chev's brakes are snarling
As you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead, so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
They're so natural, religiously unkind
Oh no, love, you're not alone
You're watching yourself, but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up
But if I could only make you care
Oh no, love, you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me (and you're wonderful)
Let's turn on with me (and you're wonderful)
Just turn on with me (and you're wonderful)
Give me your hands (and you're wonderful)
...give me your hands
