[Verse 1]
Hold me tight
Keep me cool
Going mad
Don't know what to do
Do I need a friend?
Well, I need one now

[Chorus]
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you

[Verse 2]
All I've done
I've done for me
All you gave
You gave for free
I gave nothing in return
And there's little left of me

[Chorus]
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
All the days I owe you

[Bridge]
In red-eyed pain I'm knocking on your door again
My crazy brain in tangles
Pleading for your gentle voice
Those storms keep pounding through my head and heart
I pray you'll soothe my sorry soul

[Chorus]
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
(Aah)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
(Aah)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days of my life
(All the days of my life)
All the days I owe you
(Aah)

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.
