[Verse 1]
I can go anyway (way I choose)
I can live anyhow (win or lose)
I can go anywhere (for something new)

[Chorus]
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose

[Verse 2]
I can do anything (right or wrong)
I can talk anyhow (and get along)
I don't care anyway (I never lose)

[Chorus]
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose

[Bridge]
Nothing gets in my way, not even locked doors
Don't follow the lines that been laid before
I get along anyway I care
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere

[Verse 3]
I can go anyway (way I choose)
I can live anyhow (win or lose)
I can go anywhere (for something new)

[Chorus]
Anyway, anyway, anywhere I choose

[Outro]
Anyway
Anyway I choose!
I wanna go
Do it myself, do it myself
Do it myself, do it myself
Anyway
Anyway I choose!

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.
