Ziggy Stardust
1972年初,David把自己變成了Ziggy Stardust,這個只存在了短短兩年的“太空”幻想生物,成為David一生中最為重要的形象。《The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars》是公認的,David最出色的專輯之一,而且,可以說,此後David再也沒有如Ziggy時代一樣的出色——雖然也許比Ziggy時代更成功。 David開始改變了,無論是音樂還是造型,Ziggy名字的來源取自一個同名裁縫店,這是個近乎玩笑的隨意名字,David自己說用了這個名字的原因僅僅因為“Ziggy”要換很多套衣服。 Ziggy看上去誇張又怪異,賣弄風情,和早期David 甜蜜的感覺完全不同,但是給人留下了更深印象。他的服裝是由日本人Kansai Yamamoto製作的,所以常常可以非常古怪和不自然地找到日本感覺乃至中國特色。 David受日本藝術影響很大,也許這從他研究佛學的時候就開始了。他甚至在左邊小腿內側紋了一個美麗而怪異的紋身:裸體的男人騎在海豚上,在海中騰越,男人雙手向上,似乎在做祈禱。底紋映襯著幾行日本漢字的銘文。 Ziggy時代,David得到了全英國狂熱崇拜,他成為了名副其實的真正的超級巨星。火紅頭髮的Glam巨星,火紅的短髮,眉毛剔掉,衣服絢爛多彩到光怪陸離,乃至情色成份濃重,Ziggy在舞台上穿著挑逗的衣服唱歌,和吉它手模擬口交和性愛動作——不過身體全裸只穿了內褲表演的一回倒並非David刻意所為,那是一場事故:當時狂熱的歌迷們撕爛了他的演出服,把碎片拿回家做紀念了。 David宣稱自己是雙性人,擺出性感和誘惑的姿勢,歌曲不再那麼憂鬱和尖銳。基本上,《The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars》是一張折衷性的專輯,有討好聽眾的一面,然而,前幾張專輯中始終貫穿的死亡與夢幻的歌詞本質卻沒有變,Ziggy依然是沉浸在飄渺和不滿中的遁世者,面對現實無能為力,寂寞地消失湮沒。

歌詞


Five Years
Pushing thru’ the market square
So many mothers sighing,
News had just come over,
We had five years left to cry in.
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying,
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying.
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies,
I saw boys, toys electric irons and TV’s.
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare,
I had to cram so many things
To store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people,
I never thought I’d need so many people.
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black had not pulled her off
I think she would have killed them.
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac,
A cop knelt and kissed the feed of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that.
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don’t think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained,
So I felt like an actor,
And I thought of Ma
And I wanted to get back there.
Your face, your race, the way that you talk,
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk.
We got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got.
We got five years, what a surprise.
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got.
Soul Love
Stone love, she kneels before the grave
A brave son who gave his life to save the slogan
That hovers between the headstone and her eyes,
For they penetrate her grieving.
New love, a boy and girl are talking
New words, that only they can share in,
New words, a love so strong it tears their hearts
To sleep through the fleeing hours of morning.
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross and baby,
Love descends on those defenceless
Idiot love will spark the fusion.
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove,
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving.
Soul love, the priest that tastes the word
And told of love and how my God on high is all love
Though reaching up my loneliness evolves
By the blindness that surrounds him.
Love is careless in its choosing
Sweeping over cross and baby,
Love descends on those defenceless
Idiot love will spark the fusion.
Inspirations have I none
Just to touch the flaming dove,
All I have is my love of love
And love is not loving.
Moonage Daydream
I’m an alligator
I’m a mama-papa comin’ for you.
I’m the space invader
I’ll be a rock n rollin bitch for you.
Keep your mouth shut
You’re squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I’m busting up my brains for the words.
Keep your electric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head.
Press your space face close to mine love,
Freak out in a moonage daydream,
Oh! Yeah!
Don’t fake it baby
Lay the real thing on me
The church of Man love
It’s such a holy place to be.
Make me baby
Make me know you really care,
Make me jump into the air.
Keep your electric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head.
Press your space face close to mine love,
Freak out in a moonage daydream,
Oh! Yeah!
Keep your electric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head.
Press your space face close to mine love,
Freak out in a moonage daydream,
Oh! Yeah!
Freak Out!
Far out!
In out.
Starman
Didn’t know what time it was
The lights were low,
I leaned back on my radio,
Some cat was layin’ down some rock n roll,
Lotta soul, he said.
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice
On a wave of phase,
That weren’t no DJ,
That was hazy cosmic jive.
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’ll blow our minds,
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s toid us not to blow it
‘Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile.
He told me,
‘Let the children lose it,
Let the children use it,
Let all the children boogie.’
I had to phone someone
So I picked on you,
Hey that’s far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV,
We may pick him up on channel two.
Look out your window,
I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight,
Don’t tell your poppa
Or he’ll get us locked up in fright.
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’d like to come and meet us
But he thinks he’ll blow our minds,
There’s a starman waiting in the sky
He’s toid us not to blow it
‘Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile.
He told me,
‘Let the children lose it,
Let the children use it,
Let all the children boogie.’
It Ain't Easy
When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea,
Think about the places we have
Where a young man could be.
Then you jump back down to the rooftops,
Look out over the town
Think about all the strange things
Circulating round.
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy,
It ain’t easy to get your helping
When you’re going down.
Well all the people have got their problems
That ain’t nothing new,
But with the help of the good Lord
We can all pull on through
We can all pull on through.
Get there in the end.
Sometimes it’ll take you right up
And sometimes down again.
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy,
It ain’t easy to get your helping
When you’re going down.
Satisfaction, satisfaction,
Keep me satisfied.
I got the love of a hoochi-coochi woman,
She’s calling from inside
She’s a calling from inside,
Tryin’ to get to you.
All the woman really wants,
You can give her somethin’ too.
It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy,
It ain’t easy to get your helping
When you’re going down.
Lady Stardust
People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
Chorus:
And he was alright the band was altogether
Yes he was alright the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight (second time: really quite paradise)
And he sang all night long
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
Chorus
Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
Star
Tony went to fight in Belfast
Rudi stayed at home to starve
I could make it all worthwhile as a rock & roll star
Bevan tried to change the nation
Sonny wants to turn the world, well he can tell you that hetried
I could make a transformation as a rock & roll star
So inviting- so enticing to play the part
I could play the wild mutation as a rock & roll star
I could do with the money
I'm so wiped out with things as they are
I'd send my photograph to my honey- and I'd c'mon like a
regular superstar
I could fall asleep at night as a rock & roll star
I could fall in love all right as a rock & roll star
Hang on to Yourself
Well she's a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine
She wants my honey not my money she's a funky-thigh collector
Layin' on 'lectric dreams
Chorus:
So come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Come on, come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
We can't dance, we don't talk much, we just ball and play
But then we move like tigers on vaseline
The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're the blessed, we're the spiders from Mars
Chorus:
So come on, come on, we've really got a good thing going
Come on, come on, if you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself
Ziggy Stardust
Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly,
and the Spiders from Mars. He played it left hand,
But made it too far,
Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band.
Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo
Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave 'em to hang
Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan
So where were the Spiders while the fly tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were just crass, he was the nazz
With God given ass
He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar
Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band
Oh yeah
Oooooo
Ziggy played guitar
Suffragette City
Hey man oh leave me alone, you know
Hey man oh Henry, get off the phone I gotta
Hey man I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man schooldays insane
Hey man my work's down the drain
Hey man she's total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she....then she...
Chorus:
Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man,
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right
Hey man, ah! Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes
Chorus:
Ah, hey man!
Chorus:
Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then yourcigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Ohhh, you're a rock'n'roll suicide
You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock'n'roll suicide
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the mild floats ride your mind
You're so natural- religiously unkind
Oh, no love! you're not alone
you're watching yourself but you're too unfair
You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care
Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you're seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone
Just turn on with me and you're not alone
Let's turn on and be not alone
Gimme your hands you're wonderful
Gimme your hands you're wonderful
Gimme your hands
