[Verse 1]
Once we were lovers
Can they understand?
Closer than others I was your
I was your man
Don't talk of heartaches
Ooh, I remember them all
When I'm checking you out one day
To see if I'm faking it all

[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me inside?
Show your love, love
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)

[Verse 2]
There's been many others
(Oo-oo-oo-ooh) so many times
Sixty new cities, and what do I
What do I find?
I want love so badly
I want you most of all
You know, it's harder to take it from anyone
It's harder to fall
Can you hear me call ya?

[Chorus]
Well, can you (hear me?)
Can you (feel me inside?)
Show your (love, love)
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)

[Chorus]
Well, can you hear me? (yeah)
Can you feel me inside? (I do)
Show your love (love, love)
Show me your sweet, sweet love, show me your love
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right
To your love life, baby

[Outro]
Take it in right to your love life
Take it in right, take it in right
Right to your love life
Take it in right, ah
(Why don't you take it?) take it in, take it in right
(Why don't you take it?) Right down, right down
(Why don't you take it?) mmm, why don't you take it?
(Right to your heart) can you hear me?
(Why don't you take it?) can you feel me?
(Why don't you take it?) can you take it in right?
(Why don't you take it?) ooh, right down, right down
(Right to your heart) can you take it? Feel me?
(Why don't you take it?) down, to right down
(Why don't you take it?) to your heart
(Why don't you take it?) to your heart
(Right to your heart) take it down, take it down

(Why don't you take it?)
(Why don't you take it?) take it in right
(Right to your heart)

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.
