A tribute to David Bowie

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD,
Was not A LAD INSANE,
His PIN UPS graced Our walls,
And His music shall remain.

The Earth has lost an Angel,
And the Heavens gained a STAR,
Fond farewell the THIN WHITE DUKE,
Of music and guitar.

His World was HUNKY DORY,
As he played from STATION TO STATION,
He made us feel like HEROES,
And his songs touched every Nation.

The Earth has lost an Angel,
And the Heavens gained a STAR,
Fond farewell the THIN WHITE DUKE,
Of music and guitar.

He gave us SOUND AND VISION,
A DRUMMER BOY of Peace,
He said LET'S DANCE,
And take a chance,
Life's CHANGES never cease.

The Earth has lost an Angel,
And the Heavens gained a STAR,
Fond farewell theTHIN WHITE DUKE,
Of music and guitar.

He sang for YOUNG AMERICANS,
Jived with SCARY MONSTERS too,
The EARTHLING from SPACE ODDITY,
Gave us ZIGGY STARDUST's view.

The Earth has lost an Angel,
And the Heavens gained a STAR,
Fond farewell the THIN WHITE DUKE,
Of music and guitar.

TONIGHT at twighlight HOURS,
I will offer You a prayer,
Shine on 'Mister' BLACKSTAR
NEXT DAY and Everywhere.

Jackdaw1888 :-)

Rest in Peace mister Jones.

This is really a great write, love the way you include his song titles in it, all you need now is for someone to come along and make your words come alive, hopefully in Bowie style, my only advice is dont let this gather dust and change "My third go at Songwriting"  to  "A tribute to David Bowie"  massive potential here, really cool write  8)

Thanks for the advice.
But the 'coolest' thing is that Astronomers' discovered Bowie's Star within the Galaxy shortly after his Death.
Hence I added such a line to my lyrics.

Rest in Peace mister Jones.
Your star will shine for evermore xxx

Arrr many thanks Rosie.
Truth is, it has taken me many moons to write this.
I was devestated when Bowie died.
As were many others.

Finding it hard to believe that within the next 4/5 months it will be 2 years since The Man who fell to Earth decided to leave us.

Sent it to Tony Visconti.
After all, he did produce Black Star?
