David Bowie 1966 Lyrics
1.And I Say To Myself

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie
Vocal:David Bowie/The Lower Third

And I say to myself
I've got it wrong, wrong, wrong
She is a play-girl
She the wrong wrong girl for me
And I say to myself
You're a fool, fool, fool
She doesn't love you
She doesn't need you, this I know

She's got a trail of men that she takes
Wherever she goes
She hasn't the strength to love any single man for a length of
time

Ooh, I don't stand a chance
It's a long long romance
Well, she's out to slay
Well, she's got it made
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the
world but me
And I say to myself
Forget her now, now, now
She don't want you
She don't love you anymore
And I say to myself you're a fool, fool, fool
She's don't love you
She don't need you, this I know

And I turn around and look at myself
You'll never get her, you're a fool
Say after me I'm a fool- I'm a fool

I can't get what I want
And it makes me sad
I can't get what I want
And it makes me mad
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

And I say to myself that she shouldn't love anybody else in the
world but me,
yeah
Yeah

Oh, I feel so sad
She's making me mad
And I say to myself
That I love her
And I say to myself that I need her
Oh, I need her

And I say to myself I'm a fool
And I say to myself


2.Can't Help Thinking About Me

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie
Vocal:David Bowie/The Lower Third

Question-time that says I brought dishonour
My head's bowed in shame
It seems that I've blackened the family name
Mother says that she can't stand the neighbours' talking
I've gotta pack my bags, leave this home, start walking, yeah
I'm guilty
I wish that I was sorry this time
I wish that I could pay for my crime

I can't help thinking about me

Remember when we used to go to church on Sundays
I lay awake at night, terrified of school on Mondays
Oh, but it's too late now
I wish I was a child again
I wish I felt secure again

I can't help thinking about me

As I pass a recreation ground
I remember my friends, always been found and I can't

I can't help thinking about me

Now I leave them all in the never-never land
The station seems so cold, the ticket's in my hand
My girl calls my name 'Hi Dave
Drop in, see you around, come back
If you're this way again'
Oh, I'm on my own
I've got a long way to go
I hope I make it on my own

I can't help thinking about me


3.I'm Not Losing Sleep

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Yes, I've read the morning papers
Telling me that you've made money
Do you think I'm gonna crawl, then think again

Though I'm dressed in rags, I'm richer
Though I eat from tins, I'm healthier
Though I live in slums, I'm purer than you, my friend

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep

Look around and see the friends
The ones you left, our friends deserted
See the guys that used to talk and drink with you

Don't look down your nose at me
'Cause I won't ask your sympathy
I won't be your yes-sir man for anything

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep

I would walk with you
Talk with you, drink with you
If you drop that halo that you're wearing on the ground

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep

I can't get my satisfaction
Knowing you won't get reaction
What makes me the big attraction anyway

It's too bad, I'm not losing sleep

Too bad, I'm not losing sleep

Oh, it's too bad, I'm not losing sleep


4.I Dig Everything

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

I've got the village I love
I walk along beside the garbagemen and I dig everything
I wave to the policemen, but they don't wave back
They don't dig anything
Ain't had a job for a year or more and I don't know a thing
Everything's spent and I dig everything
Everything's spent and I dig everything
Dig

I feed the lions in Trafalgar Square and I dig everything
I've sit just behind my window, till my cigarettes were low and
dug
everything
Got a backstreet room in the bad part of town and I dig
everything
I'd see people in the street below, who don't know where they're
going
They don't dig anything
Everything's spent and I dig everything
Everything's spent and I dig everything
Dig

I've got more friends than I've had had dinners
Some of them were losers, but the rest of them are winners
Rick, John, Sally, a connection named Paul
Holy low on money, their intentions are tall
We smoke and talk in my room and we dig everything
Dig

I've made myself at home
I've made good friends which the time-check girl on the end of
the phone
All the movie shows
I sunbathe for love
Even when it's not too hot
'Cause I dig everything
Oh yeah


5.Do Anything You Say

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Two by two, they go walking by
Hand in hand, they watch me cry

Lonely nights, I dream you're there
Morning sun and you're gone

Do anything you say, do anything

One desire I ask of you
Please be mine, please be mine

Thousand years and I'll return
You'll be mine, you'll be mine

Do anything you say, do anything

Two by two they're walking by
Hand in hand, they watch me cry

Do anything you say, do anything

Do anything you say, do anything you say


6.Good Morning Girl

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
But I can't pass this time of day

'Cause I'm on my way to rest my head
And I've lost the mind that I used to have
And I don't have a dime to spare

Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
But I can't pass this time of day

So go tell the man that collects the dues
That you saw a guy without any shoes
Who would do the job if he was built that way

Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
But I can't pass this time of day, no
I can't pass this time of day

'Cause I'm on my way to rest my head
And I've lost the mind that I used to have
I don't have a dime to spare

Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
But I can't pass this time of day

So go tell the man that collects the dues
That you saw a guy without any shoes
Who would do the job if he was built that way

Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
Hey, hey, good morning girl
But I can't pass this time of day, no
I can't pass this time of day
