David Bowie's "TIME" Appretiation Thread! We all know that Bowie's a god!
But this song shines so brightly on his work! Time - He's waiting in the wings He speaks of senseless things His script is you and me, boy Time - He flexes like a whore Falls wanking to the floor His trick is you and me, boy Time - In Quaaludes and red wine Demanding Billy Dolls And other friends of mine Take your time The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain Incestuous and vain, and many other last names Oh well I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think 'Oh God I'm still alive' Should be on by now We should be on by now La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x4 times) You - are not a victim You - just scream with boredom You - are not evicting time Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old You'll freeze and catch a cold 'Cos you've left your coat behind Take your time Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs But you my love were kind, but love has left you dreamless The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and dreamless Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming We should be on by now (x5 times) La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x11 times) Yeah, time!  | |

Huge Bowie fan here! Love "Time" to death. One of my faves from Bowie. The guitar lead by Mick Ronson towards the end is beautiful. Good pick. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Yep, his acoustic guitar break/solo on Lady Grinning Soul is also classic. | |

pretty great. i'm hot & cold on it though. sometimes i really love it. sometimes i hear it and think "wow, this is really overblown" "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

One of the best songs on the album. It's a total winner, yet it's one that I never consider when I think of my "favorite Bowie songs". It's only when I play Aladdin Sane that I think "Wow, I really like this song". I'm the first mammal to wear pants. | |

is it just me, or is he singing "lie lie lie lie lie...." at some points in the song instead of "la la la la..."? | |

I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs But you my love were kind, but love has left you dreamless The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and dreamless Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming That's my favourite part.  | |

he absolutely is. "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |
