David Bowie – Starman

En el mes de abril de 1972 se edita el sencillo ‘Starman’ producido por David Bowie y Ken Scott. La banda de acompañamiento de Bowie en aquel momento es la conocida como Arañas De Marte (Spiders From Mars). Dennis Katz, miembro del sello RCA, será el que insista en darle mayores vuelos a la composición, pues considera que no se puede quedar en mero single. Tan es su insistencia que se termina por olvidar la posibilidad de meter en el disco The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars la versión del tema de Chuck BerryRound And Round’, remplazándola finalmente por aquel ‘Starman’.

Goodbye love
Didn’t know what time it was the lights were low oh how
I leaned back on my radio oh oh
Some cat was layin’ down some rock ‘n’ roll ‘lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade a ade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase ha hase
That weren’t no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you ho ho
Hey, that’s far out so you heard him too! o o
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light a ight
If we can sparkle he may land tonight a ight
Don’t tell your poppa or he’ll get us locked up in fright
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’d blow our minds
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
