Fish - Five Years Lyrics
[david bowie, the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars](d. bowie)Pushing through the market squareSo many mothers sighingNews had just come overWe had five years left to cry inNews guy wept and told usEarth was really dyingCried so much his face was wetThen I knew he was not lyingI heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodiesSaw boys and toys, electric irons, tvsMy brain hurt like a warehouseIt had no room to spareI had to cram so many things to storeEverything in thereAnd all the fat-skinny peopleAnd all the tall-short peopleAnd all the nobody peopleAnd all the somebody peopleI never thought Id need so many peopleA girl my age went off her headHit some tiny childrenIf the black hadnt a-pulled her offI think she would have killed themI saw a soldier with a broken armFixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillacA cop knelt and kiss the feet of a priestAnd a queer threw up at the sight of thatI think I saw you in an ice-cream parlourDrinking milk shakes cold and longSmiling and waving and looking so fineDont think you knew you were in this songAnd it was cold and it rainedSo I felt like an actorAnd I thought of maAnd I wanted to get back thereYour face, your race, the way that you talkI kiss you, youre beautiful, I want you to walkWe got five years, stuck on my eyesWe got five years, what a surpriseWe got five years, my brain hurts a lotWe got five years, thats all weve got
