[Intro]
Wonder, you
Wonder
You
You little wonder, you
Wonder, you
Wonder, you

[Verse 1]
Stinky weather, fat shaky hands
Dopey morning Doc, grumpy gnomes

[Refrain]
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

[Verse 2]
Big screen dolls, tits and explosions
Sleepy time, bashful but nude

[Refrain]
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

[Spoken ad lib]
I'm getting that

[Verse 3]
Intergalactic, seeming to be you
It's all in the tablets, sneezy Bhutan

[Refrain]
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

[Verse 4]
Mars happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away

[Refrain]
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you

[Chorus]
Sending me so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away

[Refrain]
You little wonder, little wonder you
You little wonder, little wonder you

[Interlude]
Sending me, sending me
Sending me, sending me
Sending me, sending me
Sending me, sending me
Sending me, sending me

[Chorus]
Sending me so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away
So far away, so far away
So far away, so so far away

[Refrain]
Little wonder, little wonder you
You little wonder, you little wonder you
You little wonder you
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder 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.
