Mike Love famously fecked up Smile with "but what does it mean" comments. Sent Wilson into a 20 year breakdown. The coda to surfs up is amazing but God only knows what "columnated ruins domino" was about.
Mind you, I did play in a band that sacked a singer for writing "last train for an arsehole" in a song.

It's the music. I am occasionally interested in the words, but usually only if I like the music first. WTF does Song 2 mean? Or Mouldy Old Dough?
Life on Mars was Bowie's classic cut-and-paste from newspaper headlines. Good song, but the words are just something to sing along to.

It's his real name, he's English, and he's about sixty and therefore too old to have been named after Bowie's creation (or your cat).
He has two very fit daughters.

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI was listening to the Space Oddity album the other day. I'd forgotten about tracks like Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed, and Memory of a Free Festival. Really an amazing album. And it was made in 1969! It's as old as me.
I've aged. The album hasn't!

Originally posted by pjclarke View PostI am sure Mr Bowie is extremely talented, my problem is that, with the possible exception of 'Laughing Gnome' I have never understood a single word of his lyrics.
Case in point...
Catchy tune, but what the **** is he on about? Any fanboi able to elighten me? I am sure he did not just pick random words out of a dictionary ...
