Bonus Tracks
 
Ryko has re-released most of the old Bowie catalog on CD, and they have
included a few "bonus tracks" on most albums. Many of these CDs also
come with printed lyrics, but they never include the bonus songs. Hence
this collection. Ryko did not print any lyrics at all for the _Diamond
Dogs_ and _Young Americans_ albums, so those entire albums (including
the bonus tracks) are done seperately and do not appear here. Same goes
for the _Pinups_ album (but as David didn't write any of the songs on
this album, it's understandable why Ryko didn't print them).

I've also included a few "live only" tracks: songs done live in concert
that never appeared on any of Bowies studio albums. From _David Live_
comes the live version of _All The Young Dudes_, as the studio version
(which does exist) has never been officially released. Also from _David
Live_ comes his cover of _Knock On Wood_, as well as the live bonus track
_Here Today, Gone Tomorrow_ (I'm unsure if a studio version of this exists).
From the _Ziggy Stardust: Motion Picture_ album come live covers of _White
Light/White Heat_ and _Lets Spend the Night Together_. All the lyrics for
the other songs on these live albums (and all the songs on the _Stage_
live album) are available for the studio versions.

@SONG: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
 
You're like a sailor with a girl on every shore
Stay with them now for they won't see you any more
Like a gypsy forever on the run
Stay for a while, while ya look for a whore

Like that sailor leaves, come back again
Stay for a while, and they won't see you again

Leave everyone to console their aching heart

Stay for a while, leave without a trace

Ahhh-ohhh

Woo-woo-woo-woo wii-wii-wii
Now, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
Hah! kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Oww, the speed-jive
Don't want to stay alive when you're twenty-five

Lucy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddies got zits from pickin' up the stars from his face, uh
Funky little bolt-rays
Oh, television man is crazy
Singin' we're juvenile delinquent wrecks

Oh, man, I need t.v.

Boog-a-loo dudes

Now Jimmy looks sweet 'cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team, and
We can love
Oh, yes!, we can love
Brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones, uh
We never got it off on that revolution stuff, and
It was such a drag
Too many snags
Oh, I drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed

Is this, uh, concrete all around, or is, uh
[yeah...] in my head?
Brother, you guessed [yeah...]
Well, I'm a dude, man

@SONG: Knock On Wood (E. Floyd, S. Cropper)
 
I don't wanna lose the good thing that I've got
If I do, I will surely, I will lose a lot

For your love is better than any other love I've known
It's like thunder
Lightnin'
The way you love me is frightenin'
I better knock on wood
Baby

I got superstitious 'bout you, but I can't take a chance
You got me spinnin', baby, spinnin' in a trace

But your love is better than any other other love I've known
It's like thunder
Lightnin'
The way you love me is frightenin'
You better knock on wood
Yeah

It's no secret, but that woman fills my lovin' cup
She sees, so ready, that I get enough

And her love is better than any other love I've known
[It's like thunder]
It's like [Lightnin'], yeah
The way you love me is frightenin'
I better knock on wood
Baby
Ah, yeah

Better, yes, better
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] Oh, knock on wood
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] You know I would, would
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] It's no secret
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] No, oh, better
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] Hangin' above me
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] I can't leave her
[Yes you better knock, knock, knock on wood] Oh no, baby
Knock on wood, WOO!

@SONG: Bombers
 
{Chorus}
All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the waste-land
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise,
right between the ey..es

Seemed a good idea
to drop a bomb on the waste-land, yeah
Only one man could be seen,
and he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair,
and the red light flashed "beware"
Pilot felt quite big-time
as the bomb sailed through the air
Well, they danced and sang
when the bang went bang
When the lights popped out
and the smoke began to clear,
it was positively queer!

{chorus}

"Die" said the General,
"cobblers" said the man
So the Pentagon sent a cable,
and the Queen a telegram
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones
ripped apart that sand
'Til the stench was just revolting!,
and the sky a green-ish tan
But the soldier said "Sir,
there's a crack in the world"
And the figures went "squash",
and the bits flew far and wide
How the universe sighed!

{chorus}

{chorus}

When the smoke had blown away,
there was nothing left to view
Except a man, dear Lord!, he look like you
Floating high,
up in the sky........y


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

I can't see the road
for the rain in my eyes

I live above the grocers store,
owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken English,
tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation,
I stand without a word to say

I can't see the bridge
for the rain in my eyes
Ahhh-huh, h...uh, huh

And the world is full of life
Full of folk who don't know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the light that shines above the grocers store
investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fullfil their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
my voice sticks inside my throat
I'm invisible and dumb,
no-one will recall me

And I can't see the water
through the tears in my ey-y-yes


@SONG: John, I'm Only Dancing (alt. version) [*original and alt. mix*]
 
Annie's kind of sweet, she  [*Well, Annie's pretty neat, she*]
always eats her meat. But
Joey comes on strong   [*Joe is awful strong*]
Bet your life, he's putting us on

{Chorus 1}
Oh Lordy, Oh Lordy
You know what I need,
some lovin'
Rude   [*Oh, move me*]
Touch me

{Chorus 2}
John, I'm only dancing
She turns me on
but I'm only dancing
She turns me on
(but) Don't get me wrong
I'm only dancing

Shadow love is quick and clean   [*Ah, back street love is quick and clean*]
Life's a well thumbed machine. I
saw you watchin' from the stairs
You're everyone that ever cared

{chorus 1}
{chorus 2}
{chorus 2}
Dancing
Oh, John, dance with me
Touch me
Owww


@SONG: It's Hard to be a Saint in the City (B. Springsteen)
 
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a super-nova
I could walk like Brando into the sun, an' dance just like a Casanova
With my black-jack and jacket and my hair slicked sweet
Silver studs on my duds just like a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street I can hear its' heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
The cripple on the corner cried out "Penny, nickels for your pity"
Them gasoline boys down-town, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city

I was the king of the alley, mama, I could talk some trash
I was the Prince of the Paupers, crowned down-town at the Beggars' Bash
I was a pimps main prophet, I kept everything cool
Just a back-street gambler with the luck to lo..ose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground, mama
Devil appeared to me like Jesus through the steam in the street, an'
Showed me a hand that even the cops couldn't beat
And I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat, and
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a poor bo..oy out on the street

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm, the eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balancin', hold on by just a thread
Well, it's too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat
When you get up to get out at your next stop,
   but they push you right down in your seat
And your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
Then you're out of that hole!, back on the street
And them south-side sisters, they sure look pretty
And the cripple on the corner cries out "Nickels for your pity"
And them down-town boys, they sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the c..c..city


@SONG: Round and Round (C. Berry)
 
Well, the joint was rockin',
{Chorus}
goin' round 'n' round
Yeah, reelin' and a-rockin',
what a crazy sound
Well, they never stopped rockin'
'til the moon went down

Well they sound so sweet,
I had to take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
and had to dance
Started movin' my feet
and clappin' my hands

Yeah, we kept on rockin',
{chorus}

About twelve o'clock,
oh-ah, the place was packed
Front doo' was locked
I said the place was packed
When the police knocked
those doors flew back

But it kept on rockin',
{chorus}
Yeah

About twelve o'clock
Oh, can I dub that?
Well, the doors were locked
Said the place was packed
Ha, the police knocked
Those doors flew back

But it kept on rockin',
{chorus}
Well, it kept on rockin',
{chorus}
Hey-hey-hey
Uh!


@SONG: After Today
 
Woo
Thaaa
Thaaa

Always in trouble
Never to blame
Must be a double
You are the same
Here it comes again

Doing the wrong thing
Forgetting your li..ines
Waiting for something
better to shine
Take that same okay

After today,
fortune man will find you
After today,
they will find you working
After today,
you'll find the ones you're after
After today,
look out, after today

What kind of rescue?
What will you be?
Where can you take it, baby boy?
Me...
Break that heart, boy!

{Chorus}
After today,
your fortune fan will find you
After today,
they may pry you away
After today,
you'll find the one you're after
After today,
look out, after today

{chorus}

Today
After today
After toda-ay, hey
Look out, after today
Ah, yeah
Look, ah (laughter)

@SONG: London Bye Ta-Ta
 
{Chorus}
London bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London bye ta-ta
brought me down
Don't like your new face
that's not nice
Got to go far, far
London bye ta-ta

Gigi, Gigi
take me away
Gigi, Gigi
take me today
The boys in the clothes shop
sold me curry for a pound
His cardboard face is soggy,
and his sellings thorny crown

I loved her!
I loved her!
I've got to get away,
but I loved her!

Oh-oh-oh
{chorus}

Red light, green light
Make up your mind
Red light, green light
You're far too un-kind
She loves to love all beauty,
and she says the norm is funny
But she whimpers in the morning
when she finds she has no money

I loved her!
I loved her!
I've got to get away,
but I loved her!
Ahhh!
Oh-oh-oh
{chorus}
Ahh
{chorus}
Oh, London bye ta-ta
Oh, London bye ta-ta
Oh, ehh

@SONG: Velvet Goldmine
 
You got crazy legs
You got amazin' head
You got rings on your fingers
and your got hair's hot red
You got wit from my tongue
(loud inhale) Name on the sun
I gotcha goin' to my breast
'cause your the only one...
who uses school to leisure

You make me act real gone
You make me trawl along
I had to ravish your capsule

Feel the teeth in your bones
Heal ya head with my own
Why, if I don't have you home
we'll have to fight alone...
Hang all together

{Chorus}
Velvet Goldmine,
you stroke me like the rain
Snake it, take it,
but the Princess
you must stay
Velvet Goldmine,
naked on your chain
I'll be your King volcano
writhe for you again and again
My Velvet Goldmine

You're my taste, my trip
I'll be your masters, yeah
I'll chop your hair off for kicks
You'll make me jump my feet
So you'll give me your hand
Give me your sound
Let my sea wash your face
I'm fallin', I can't stand
Eeew! Put your mink on

Velvet Goldmine

@SONG: Sweet Head
 
I try to break away from you
From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew
Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs...
By the faggy parks and burnt out va..ans
I've got ninety-nine years of layin' in the dark
and I'm far too young to lie
I've got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar
Its gonna play 'em in before I die

{Chorus}
So bob your sweet head
Brother Ziggy gonna play
I'm just a bob-a-lectic hear
Gonna rock-it in your head
Shazam! and come ball,
where my guitar-um is-a playin'
We can give you sweet head

I'm tough as glass and clean as night
Well, if looks can love, we can love alright
I'm your r-r-r-rubber peacock, angelic whore
I'm a wrought-iron face upon the wall..l..l
I've had ninety-nine tales of murder-come-life,
and I'm running away from it all
I got a bedroom, every mirror in town,
they're gonna claim me if I fall

{chorus}
Sweet head
Gonna give ya sweet head

(spoken: While ya down there)

See my eyes of blocked emotion
See my tremble, see my fall
Traumatic, stinkin' fast
Your faith in me can last
Besides, I'm numb to lay you,
rubbin' all

Look south the way your mother dwells
'Cause if she knew what's going on, she'd give you hell
I'm the kind of man she warned me of
Until there was rock, you only had God
You and I have a mutual vow
We both like gamery, and we both like loud
I got pretty shoes, and I'm kin and proud
I'm street-side-out, with my ear to the crowd

{chorus}

Move along, son
ca-cho, ca-cho
ca-cho, ca-cho
Woo!

I don't want to be an angel,

Feel the devil in me

Hold on to anyone,
let go of me.....e
