Is there life on Mars?

This started out as a parody of a nightclub song - a kind of throwaway - but people kept chanting for it at concerts. Bowie had no idea it was going to become so popular. For more information and trivia on &quot;Changes&quot; check out http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3414/.

                 I watch the ripples change their size
                       But never leave the stream
                         Of warm impermanence.
                   And so the days flow thru my eyes
                   But the days still seem the same.
                     And this children you spit on
                   As they try to change their worlds,
                   Are immune to your consultations.
            Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru.

              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
    Ch-ch-ch changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
                 Ch-ch-ch changes, there's your shame,
                  you've left us up yo our neck in it.
             Time may change me, but you can't trace time.

                  Strange fascination fascinating me.
            Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru.
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange,
           Ch-ch-ch changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch changes,pretty soon now youre gonna get a little older.
              Time may change me, But i can't trace time.

In 1968, Bowie wrote &quot;Even a Fool Learns to Love&quot;, a song with lyrics by Bowie set to the music of a 1967 French song (&quot;Comme d'habitude&quot;). Bowie's song was never released, but Paul Anka bought the rights to the original French version, and rewrote it into &quot;My Way,&quot; made famous by Frank Sinatra in a 1969 recording on his album of the same name. The success of the Anka version prompted Bowie to write &quot;Life on Mars?&quot; as a parody of Sinatra's recording.  Bowie described how he wrote the song in notes for a Bowie compilation CD that accompanied a June 2008 issue of The Mail on Sunday:

Life On Mars?

"Quicksand" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory; it was recorded on 14 July 1971. This ballad features multi-tracked acoustic guitars and a string arrangement by Mick Ronson. Producer Ken Scott, having recently engineered George Harrison's album All Things Must Pass, attempted to create a similarly powerful acoustic sound with this track. Lyrically the song, like much of Bowie's work at this time, was influenced by Buddhism, occultism, and Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of the Overman. Read more on Last.fm.

I took this walk to ease my mind
Am
    To find out what's gnawing at me
C
    Wouldn't think to look at me,

G			  D
		that I've spent a lot of time in education
C
	It all seems so long ago
G 	     D
       I'm a thinker, not a talker
C	   
	I've no-one to talk to, anyway

I can't see the road

for the rain in my eyes

Ahhh ...

I live above the grocers store,
Am				
	owned by an Austrian
C
	He often calls me down to eat
G		D
	And he jokes about his broken English,
C
	tries to be a friend to me
G		D
	But for all my years of reading conversation,
C	
	I stand without a word to say

   G		F	
I can't see the bridge

for the rain in my eyes
Ahhh...

And the world is full of life
Bm		
	Full of folk who don't know me
D
	And they walk in twos or threes or more

A		   E
	While the light that shines above the grocer's store
D
	Investigates my face so rudely
A		E
	And my essays lying scattered on the floor
D
	Fulfill their needs just by being there
	A		E
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
    D		  A
my voice sticks inside my throat

I'm invisible and dumb,

Five Years

C                          E7
Time takes a cigarette  puts it in your mouth
                  F                    G                 Am
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
G                      F           G                   Am
  The wall to wall is calling  it lingers, then you forget
G    F
Oh  you're a rock'n roll suicide
C  G                    C                     E7
     You're too old to lose it  too young to choose it
         F              G                 Am
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
G                  F                 G                       Am
  You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you lived too long
G        F
Oh no no no you're a rock'n roll suicide
C  G                                            E7
     Chev brakes are snarling  as you stumble across the road
        F             G                  Am
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
G                F              G
  Don't let the sun blast your shadow
               E7                    Am
don't let the milk floats ride your mind                 EADGBE
    F         D9          G7                       (D9 = xx4210)
So natural religiously unkind
                       C
Oh no love you're not alone
                                     A
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair
              C                                    A
you got your head all tangled but if I could only make you care
   C#m                  Abm
Oh no love you're not alone
           B                  Ebm
no matter what or who you've been
          Bbm                   C#
no matter when or where you've seen
         B                       Ebm
all the knives to lacerate your brain
             Bbm                           C#
I've had my share  I'll help you with the pain  you're not alone
Bb              C#
                 Just turn on me  you're
Bb                  C#
not alone          let's turn on me and be
you're not alone   gimme your hands
you're wonderful   gimme your hands
you're wonderful   gimme your hands

C
Stone love - she kneels before the grave
  Am                                       F
A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan
                                          C
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes
Em               Dm          G
For they penetrate her grieving

Cv6vv
New love - a boy and girl are talking
Am              
New words - that only they can share in
F
New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts
   C      Em                    Dm            G
To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning

Dm
Love is careless in its choosing 
Am
Sweeping over cross a baby
A#                F
Love descends on those defenseless
G
Idiot love will spark the fusion
F            G                    C7                F
Inspirations have I none, just to touch the flaming dove
Fm               C                  G
All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving


Solo:  C  Am  F  C  Em  Dm  G 


C
Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and
Am
Told of love - and how my God on high is
F                                              C
All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves
Em               Dm              G
By the blindness that surrounds him

Dm
Love is careless in its choosing 
Am
Sweeping over cross a baby
A#                F
Love descends on those defenseless

Idiot love will spark the fusion
F            G                    C7                F
Inspirations have I none, just to touch the flaming dove

I laughed and shook his hand
I made my way back home
I searched for form and land
Years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows not me
I never lost control
You?re face to face
With the man who sold the world

                                            D               E

Scary Monsters

E
Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
C#m
The voice of doom
B
was shining in my room
Abm         F#
I just need one day
Abm         F#
somewhere far away
Abm                  F#
Lord I just need one day


B                                  E    
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
B                                  E 
And cutting this hay
B                                  E 
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
B                                  E 
What's my price to pay?



Well the river's so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can't take another sight
Please, please give me the night

CHORUS....  

Abm                                       Ebm
Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
Dbm                                        F#
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die


B                                  E    
I won't be breaking no rocks
B                                  E    
I said "I won't be breaking no rocks"

A
There's such a sad love
A                             F#m
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
F#m                          Dm
Open and closed within your eyes
Dm                              A
I'll place the sky within your eyes
A
There's such a fooled heart
A                            F#m
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
F#m                               Dm
A love that will last within your heart
Dm                               A
I'll place the moon within your heart

Though we're strangers till now

We're choosing the path between the stars

Always Crashing In The Same Car

intro: C, Dm, F, G 

C
They pulled in just behind the fridge
       Dm
He lays her down-he frowns
F
"Gee my life's a funny thing
     G
Am I still too young"
C
He kissed her then and there
                    Dm
She took his ring, took his babies
    F
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
G
Heaven knows she'dve taken anything

CHORUS:
F    G
All night-she want s the young American
C   Dm
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
      F  G
It's all right-but she wants the young American

Scanning life thru the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll take anything
But the freak and his type-all for nothing
Misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries "where have all papa's heroes gone?"

All night-she want s the young American
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
It's all right-but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
"Live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

All night-he want s the young American
Young American, young American
he wants the young American
It's all right-but he wants the young American...

interlude: Am, G, F, G

bridge:
Am               G      C     
Do you remember your President Nixon?
Am              G            F
So you remember the bills you have to pay
            E
or even yesterday?


D
Have you been the un-American
Em
Just you and your id singing falsetto 'bout
G
leather, leather everywhere and
A
not a myth left from the Ghetto
D
Well, well, well would you carry a razor?
Em
In case, just in case of depression
G
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
A
Blushing at all the afro-sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well ain't that poster love?
Well it ain't that brbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you

G  A
All night-you want  the young American
D                                     Em
Young American, young American
you want the young American
    G   A
It's all right-you want the young American

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
Pimps got a Caddy-lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect-white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps and look at your hands hey
"I heard the news today, oh boy"
I got-suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man-who could say no more
Ain't there a woman-I can sock on the jaw
Ain't there a child-I can hold without judging
Ain't there a pen-that will write before they die
Ain't you proud-that you've still got faces
and ain't there one damn song  that can make me
break down and cry...

All night-I want the young American
Young American, young American
I want the young American
It's all right-I want the young American

My TVC one five, he, he just stares back un-blink-ing.
F                      Fm            C
So hol-o-gramic, oh my TVC one five. One of these nights

I may just jump down that rain-bow way; be with my ba-by.

Then we'll spend some time to-geth-er. So hol-o-gram-ic,

oh my TVC one five. My ba-by's in there some-place.

It's happening today

I'd Rather Be High

[Intro]
F#m             D
Stars are never sleeping
F#m               D
Dead ones and the living

[Verse 1]
F#m             
We live closer to the earth
D
Never to the heavens
F#m
The stars are never far away
D
Stars are out tonight

[Verse 2]
F#m
They watch us from behind their shades
D
Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad
F#m
From behind their tinted window stretch
D
Gleaming like blackened sunshine
F#m             D
Stars are never sleeping
F#m                D
Dead ones and the living

[Verse 3]
F#m
Waiting for the first move
D
Satyrs and their child wives
F#m
Waiting for the last move
D
Soaking up our primitive world
F#m             D
Stars are never sleeping
F#m             D
Dead ones and the living

[Chorus]
E
Their jealousy's spilling down
D
The stars must stick together
F#m
We will never be rid of these stars
D
But I hope they live forever
E
And they know just what we do
D
That we toss and turn at night
F#m
They're waiting to make their moves
D
But the stars are out tonight

[Verse 4]
F#m
Here they are upon the stairs
D
Sexless and unaroused
F#m
They are the stars, they're dying for you
D
But I hope they live forever

[Instrumental]
F#m E D C# 
D F#m D

[Verse 5]
F#m
They burn you with their radiant smiles
D
Trap you with their beautiful eyes
F#m
They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared
D
But I hope they live forever

[Chorus]
E
Their jealousy's spilling down
D
The stars must stick together
F#m
We will never be rid of these stars
D
But I hope they live forever
E
And they know just what we do
D
That we toss and turn at night
F#m
They're waiting to make their moves on us
D
The stars are out tonight

[Outro]
F#m             D
The stars are out tonight
F#m             D
The stars are out tonight

Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán

Despierta ya, oye bien,

C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste

  Si la noche enfrió,

¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?

¿Qué, alguien me nombró?

  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión

Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada,

por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)

Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy

Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds

I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em

Cause you make it real for me 

Bridge:
G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C
And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
G    Am	              F	           C
  Youuuuuuuuu are the only one who saved me
       G     Am	         F	               C
That's    whyyyyyyy I've been missing you lately
      Am	         G	       F   C
Cause you make it real for me 
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
