FIVE YEARS / David Bowie
A00 720
Pushing through the market square so many mothers crying
000 300
News had just come over We had five years left of trying
A00 720
News guy wept and told us earth was really dying
000 300
Cried so much, his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying.
A00
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
720
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
000
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
300
I had to cram so many things to store every thing in there
Am
And all the fat skinny people
300 Am
And all the tall short people
300 A00
And all the nobody people
300 D
And all the somebody people
Am 300 A00
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head hit some tiny children
If the black had not pulled her off I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadilac
A cop Knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour drinking milkshakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma, and I wanted to get back there
Your face, Your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautifull, I want you to walk. we got
[[: five years stuck on my eyes
five years what a surprise we got
five years my brain hurts a lot
five years that's all we got we've got
