Though the idea of compassion
Is said to be
The union of Christ
And his bride, the Christian
It's all very puzzling

Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
And the church
And the church

All the great mystic religions
Put strong emphasis, on
Redeaming spiritual qualities
Of sex
Of sex

Chrstianity
Has been pretty modern
About sex
Of sex, of sex, of sex, of sex

Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex, sex

I think there is a union
Between the flesh and the spirit
It's sex and the church
Sex and the church

All religions' mother

Give me you're freedom of spirit
And the joys of the flesh
Of sex, sex
Sex and the church

Give me you're freedom of spirit
And the joys of the flesh
Of sex, sex
Sex and the church

Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
And the church
And the church

Sex sex
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex sex

Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
And the church
And the church

Sex sex
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex sex

Sex
Sex and the church
Sex and the church
Sex and the church

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.
