[Verse 1]
Still I keep my love for you
No place to hide no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide

[Chorus]
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

[Verse 2]
I know there's something in the wind
That crazy balance of my mind
What kind of fool are you and I?
Scared to death and tell me why

[Chorus]
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

[Interlude]
Still I keep my love for you

[Verse 3]
You made a date with destiny
You jog-jog in my memory
You haunt in mind not fade away

[Chorus]
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you

[Verse 1]
Still I keep my love for you
No place to hide no way to fall
Nowhere to lie no world so wide

[Chorus]
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down and down and down
Don't let me down and down and down

[Outro]
Still I keep my love for you
Don't let me down and down and down
I'm sick and tired of telling you
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
No place to hide no way to fall
Still I keep my love for you
Still I keep my love for you

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.
