[Verse 1]
Well, don't you worry 'bout what's been on my mind
I'm in no hurry, I can take my time
I'm going red and my tongue's getting tired
Out of my head and my mouth's getting dry
I'm h-h-h-high

[Chorus]
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

[Verse 2]
I feel so strong that I can't disguise, oh my
Well, I just can't apologise, no
Don't hang me up but don't let me down
We could have fun just by groovin' around
And around and around

[Chorus]
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

[Bridge]
Oh, you know I'm smiling baby
You need some guiding baby
I'm just deciding baby

[Chorus]
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now

[Verse 3]
This doesn't happen to me every day
No excuses I've got anyway, hey
I'll satisfy your every need
And I know you'll satisfy me, oh my-my-my, my-my

[Chorus]
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together

[Verse 4]
They said we were too young
Our kind of love was no fun
But our love comes from above
Do it!
Let's make love
Hoo!

[Chorus]
Let's spend the night together
Now I need you more than ever
Let's spend the night together now!

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
