[Chorus]
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow
Sorrow

[Verse 1]
You acted funny trying to spend my money
You're out there playing your high class games
Of sorrow
Sorrow
You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me you're a Devil's daughter
Sorrow
Sorrow
Ahh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
I tried to find her 'cause I can't resist her
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow
Sorrow

[Chorus]
With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow
Sorrow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
With your long blonde hair
I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

David Bowie

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.
