Ziggy Stardust

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

發行年代/日期：1972年6月16日

香港獨立音樂雜誌MCB選出的百張歐美最具革命性專輯中的一張，評價為：“這張概念專輯塑造了Ziggy Stardust這個外星人搖滾巨星，從而記載了華麗搖滾最為戲劇性的一頁”。

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。

Sweet Head

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
