Nice lyric. Took good knowledge to put this together with care. Well done.

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.

Rest in Peace mister Jones.

Many thanks Joe :-)

Inspirational.

Prompted me to write my own humble tribute to him...

"and now the starman's gone back home
his legacy, the laughing gnome"

Personally speaking...
And not trying to blow my own trumpet etc etc etc.

I would challenge any so called SongWriter or Lyricist or Musician or Record Producer to come up with a better Song than I have.

Jackdaw 1888

Ps...
And even if they thought they did or they have?
Then I myself have another David Robert Jones song up my sleeve ... from when he Fell to Earth around 125 years ago.

Not long now mister jones till yet another anniversary of your death?

Shine on mister Bright Star.

You mean a better lyric than this one, or is it now a song?  Love to hear it if so.  I wrote my own tribute in the days after his death, although more in the spirit of his lyrics than referencing his material.  A great loss.

My ditty, which developed into a full song in partnership with another Forum member's on Soundcloud if you're interested .

No ... it is just another set of  lyrics come poetry going around my head at the mo based upon His early years and songs.

Cheers mister Mike.

Good lyrics. I'd be tempted to not have the song titles in capital letters. Same song but reads so much better for the subtlety.

Eell done

Dude, you could do a pub quiz with this. Read it out and people have to spotall the  Bowie songs there are.  
Personally I didnt like  his music much, but he was a  gentleman and you gotta respect that in superstars. You see so many of them go crazy with self importance.

Hey Dude!!!

How many spots re Bowie did you detect?

great lyrics, well done. Grew up to his music, which is still all around us. I also liked the dignity around the way he just faded from view in later years looking after his young sun. Cool
