David Bowie
Sweet Head (Ziggy Sessions Outtake - 2022 Mix)
[Verse 1]
I tried to break away from you
From the spicks and Blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs
By the faggy bar and the burnout vans

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got ninety-nine years of laying in the dark
And I'm far too young to lie
I've got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar
It's going to pay me before I die

[Chorus]
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy gonna play
I'm just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and kapow
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head

[Verse 2]
I'm tough as glass and clean as night
Well, if looks can love, we can love alright, ah
I'm your rubber peacock angelic whore
I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall, ow
[Pre-Chorus]
I had ninety-nine tales of murder called "life "
And I'm running away from it all
I got a bedroom, every mirror in town
They're going to claim me if I fall

[Chorus]
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy gonna play
I'm just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and kapow
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet head
Give you sweet head

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
See my eyes of blocked emotion
See my tremble, see my fall
Traumatics thick and fast
Your faith in me can last
Besides I'm known to lay you, one and all
[Verse 3]
Look south the way your mother dwells
If she knew what's going down, she'd give you hell
I'm the kind of man she warned me of
'Til there was rock, you only had God
You and I have a mutual vow

[Pre-Chorus]
We both like young, and we both like loud
I got pretty shoes, and I'm kid and proud
I'm street side out with my ear to the crowd

[Chorus]
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy gonna play
I'm just about the best you can hear
Gonna rock it in your head
Shazam and kapow
With my guitar and me soprano
We can give you sweet head

[Outro]
Move along, sir!
Choo-choo
Choo-choo, woo!
