Good morning fellow bloggers and Happy Sunday :O) I hope that this has been a great week for you and that next week will be even better! So, here we are again with Song Lyric Sunday, brought to you by the amazing Helen over at This thing called life one word at a time. I’m such a fan of this because I absolutely love music and I really hope that you’ll give it a try to; it’s a super way to make new blogging friends and beef up your playlists.
Here are the rules:
- Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not
- Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due and it’s honestly just a simple Google search
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and provide a link to where you found the lyrics
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song
- Ping back to this post or my own Song Lyric Sunday post
- Read at least one other person’s blog so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process
The theme for this week is fear and, despite Helen’s reservations, this was an easy one for me as I can share one of my favourite songs which is by an absolute music legend:
“Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)”
she was tired
you can’t hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She could’ve been a killer
if she didn’t walk the way she do,
and she do
She opened strange doors
that we’d never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
[CHORUS (twice)]
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay
and I stole her room
She asked for my love
and I gave her a dangerous mind
Now she’s stupid in the street
and she can’t socialise
Well I love the little girl
and I’ll love her till the day she dies
She wails
Jimmy’s guitar sound
jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
[CHORUS (twice)]
[CHORUS (twice)]
Run, Run, Run [ad lib]
and I stole her room
She asked for my love
and I gave her a dangerous mind
And just to go against all the rules this week I have to share this with you just because the lyrics are pure poetry; they’re shown on the video but here’s an except to show you what I mean:
Some people are marching together and some on their own
Quite alone
Others are running, the smaller ones crawl
But some sit in silence, they’re just older children
That’s all
Right that’s it, I ‘m going to stop now because otherwise I’ll be here all day!
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone :O)

Wow! Although I like David Bowie, I’m only familiar with the popular songs from radio-play. These 3 are brilliant! I especially love “Wild Is The Wind.” It is hauntingly beautiful!

Carry on, I don’t mind at all!
You are absolutely right about his changes of music, dress, looks, and he was so good at all of them. No matter what he looked like, sounded like, behaved like, he was successful. Not to everyone’s taste I admit, but I liked it all, and, obviously, so did you!
