David Bowie

Hey man
Oh, leave me alone, you know
Hey man
Oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man
I gotta straighten my face
This mellow-thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Hey man
My schoolday's insane
Hey man
My work's down the drain
Hey man
Well, she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she, and then she

Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you can't afford the ticket
Back from Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
She's all right
Ooh

Hey man
Oh Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man
I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man
D-droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes

Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
She's all right

Oh, hit me

Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back from Suffragette City
Oh, don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City

Don't lean on me, man
'Cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back from Suffragette City
Don't lean on me, man
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight
Oh, she's all right

My Suffragette City
My Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City
Ooh, oh Suffragette City
Ooh, my Suffragette City
Ooh-how, my Suffragette City
Ooh-how, yea

Ah, wham bam thank you ma'am!

My Suffragette City
My Suffragette City - Quite alright
My Suffragette City - Too fine
My Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Oh, my Suffragette City
Suffragette!

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.
