[Intro]
These first two songs are from the new album 'hours...' The first song is called "Thursday's Child"

[Verse 1]
All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two, yeah

[Chorus]
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child

[Post-Chorus]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
I'm innocence in your arms

[Chorus]
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Now that I really stand a chance
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow, oh-oh
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child

[Post-Chorus]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child, yeah

[Outro]
Oh yeah
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child
Oooh yeah
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday, Thursday, Thursday's child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thank 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.
