顏九笙。與書為伍。

今天晚上再整理一些舊資料的時候，突然產生一種很（嗶～消音）的感覺，因為發現自己堪稱一事無成也。這時候就會想到Ashes to Ashes這首歌。Bowie叔叔寫這首歌的時候比現在的我沒大多少，但已經出了十張以上的專輯。當然凡人是沒辦法跟精靈王＋外星人相比的，可是差這麼多真是令人難過啊（淚）。

本週六要去「走路」。從事這類行為的時候，常常會有點懷疑這一切到底會不會有意義。可是如果不做好像更糟。唉……

下面這個live by request版本比原版輕快，而且前面的對話更是輕快XD。某位爸爸跟才五歲的兒子一起callin進來，這個可憐（或超幸運？）的小鬼在父親的教育之下，已經聽了兩年的Bowie……然後聲音嫩嫩的小朋友問，可以為我唱Ashes to Ashes這首歌嗎～Bowie叔叔當然說好啊～
這麼小的小孩聽這首歌，真詭異。



Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

CHORUS

REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
