David Bowie
Ziggy Stardust (Sounds Of The 70s: John Peel - recorded 16th May 1972)
[Intro]
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly
And the Spiders From Mars
Well, he played it left hand, but made it too far
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

[Verse 2]
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan
He could kill 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang
He came on so loaded, man, well-hung and snow-white tan

[Chorus 1]
So where were thе spiders
While the fly triеd to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?

[Verse 3]
Now Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God-given ass, but he took it all too far
But boy, could he play guitar
[Chorus 2]
Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind (Ah)
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
I had to break up the band

[Bridge]
Oh yeah
Oh

[Outro]
Ziggy played guitar
