Bowie, David - Day In Day Out Lyrics






Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out

Day-In Oo Oo
Day-Out Oo Oo Oo

She was born in a handbag
Love left
on a doorstep
What she lacks is a backup
Nothing seems to make a dent
Gonna find her some money honey
Try to pay her rent
That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about

[CHORUS]
Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out

Day-In Oo Oo
Day-Out Oo Oo Oo

First thing she learns is
she's a citizen
Some things they turn out right
When you're under the USA
Something rings a bell
and it's all over
She's going out her way
Stealing for that one good rush

Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out

She could use a little money
She's hangin' on his arms
like a cheap suit
She's got no money, honey
She's on the other side
Oh come on little baby
Late night, big town,
police, shake down

Oo Oo
Oo Oo
Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out
Oo Oo
Oo Oo
Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out

She's got a ticket to nowhere
She's gonna take a train ride
Nobody knows her, or knows her name

She's in the pocket of a home boy
Oo she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow
Spin the grail spin the drug
She's gonna make them well aware
She's an angry gal

Day-In Day-Out
Stay-In Fade-Out

Suddenly there's angels everywhere
Angels in a ton of sound
And they shootin' her down
Shootin her with video-drugs-bullets and promises

Bowie, David Day In Day Out Comments
  1. P.... S....

    A song with a quote like "She was born in a handbag" can´t go wrong...

  2. S.... A....

    I think this is an underrated song. I am glad to find the video, but I wonder why there is not a clearer version. I still appreciate it.

  3. M.... y....

    Dear “David Bowie Official” ,“Day-In Day-Out” The video data of this music movie is distorted in a mosaic pattern,Please repair as soon as possible.

  4. A.... D....

    This song reminds me of some time how shitty somes days are

  5. B.... B....

    Loving this... "not only in 2019" 😜

  12. P.... S....

    You can´t go wrong with an intro line like: "She was born in a handbag".

  13. S.... A....

    David Bowie,un artista q nos cambió la vida a muchos... GRACIAS DAVID DONDEQUIERA QUE ESTÉS!

  18. g.... ....

    Direct social commentary about the state of human shortcomings was not necessarily Bowie's greatest talents as a songwriter. It showed that he had his heart on the right side, if for nothing else. He cared about people.

  19. M.... S....

    read this in terms of the current immigration issue

  20. L.... ....

    Hard life .
    Even today.
    For the young couples...

    I hope was wrong.

  25. k.... ....

    is that William burroughs behind the drum kit? looks like him

  26. R.... B....

    Why are the Outside and Earthling era videos not on the channel?

  27. J.... B....

    I loved this album when it came out in 1987. Then again, I love every album he made.

  28. D.... P....

    Great song.This video was fine when I first played it. What happened?

  29. e.... p....

    Bowie Forever

  30. k.... m....

    So Dearly Beloved!!

  34. m.... ....

    If you're going to be the source of all the "official" Bowie videos, shouldn't you upload and share the best quality versions of them?

  35. L.... F....

    Amazing!!!⚡⚡day in!!!💙💙⚡⚡

  36. Y.... G....

    the bullets and promises of one's life

  37. H.... S....

    E v e n bowie had his waterloo.....with this bum bum song....terribly fancyless...

  38. M.... M....

    Never Let Me Down is being re-released this fall with original vocals and new instrumentals.

  39. B.... U....

    I love the angel/baby intro but this is definitely one of his worst singles & video. Roller skates & Bowie just don't go together!

  40. s.... ....

    I do like how bowie in his 80's videos tired to open our eyes to the world of what was going on. He did the same in let's dance,proper pioneer in how to educate ppl.

  41. D.... M....

    Hail Hail "Never Let Me Down"!!!

  42. I.... A....

    I love that david uses his songs to spread awareness of things that are happening in society, He doesnt keep his mouth shut because of what others say, RIP A TRUE LEGEND

  43. P.... A....

    Digital

  44. a.... r....

    “Day in day out,stay in,fade out....” Pretty much describes my life. 😘😘😘😘to Bowie!

  45. J.... ....

    When Never Let Me Down was re-released, DB left off song ‘Too Dizzy’.
    “I never want to hear that f’n song again!”
    - DB

  46. J.... ....

    Sadly most of this album sounds washed-up, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few sticky tracks, including this. I still get the mess that is Shining Star stuck in my head sometimes...

    J.... ....

    Josh Beat Of Your Drum is a rare bright spot on the original master. The 2018 remix on the box set is a welcome improvement and not so dated sounding.

  47. R.... C....

    I love the Dance Remix

  48. R.... C....

    Who's the drummer?

  49. a.... c....

    Bowie never made a really bad album and this is meant to be his worst album! It still sounds good to me!

    a.... c....

    andy cole Songs are good but the production is dated. The 2018 remix is more warm sounding.

    a.... c....

    Hours,his worst album

    a.... c....

    He had a couple stinkers but the good far outweighs the bad

    a.... c....

    I agree, especially considering I love his least favorite songs on this album, Too Dizzy.

  50. j.... a....

    one of his not as good albums (I'm a stan) but this song still _rocksssss_

    j.... a....

    I too am Stan

  51. O.... R....

    Terrible video quality...(yes I turned on 480p).

  52. c.... ....

    I will love you for ever, David.

  53. C.... M....

    #keepthestarmanalive

  54. M.... M....

    A great track from an awful album.

    M.... M....

    Marty McLean The LTA box set remix is an improvement.

    M.... M....

    @duckiedale80 : What's the Lawn Tennis Association got to do with anything?!

  55. V.... A....

    Oh my, this is so good..

  56. D.... G....

    GOOD SHIT BOWIE

  57. B.... C....

    I love all those vids that you're adding, but...
    this one seems to be encoded from a Commodore 64..!
    (it fits with that era tho)

  58. A.... G....

    If you never felt like anyone really understands you. If you feel like you're on the outside, looking in. If you feel like you need to assert yourself, to justify your actions. If you think instead of talk. If you want and need but you don't get it. Bowie is yours.

  59. E.... N....

    *dances and sings along*

  60. e.... L....

    When you could not think you loved Bowie enough then he starts singing from the grave about illegal immigration.

    e.... L....

    Stay out...

  61. n.... t....

    One of my favorite songs by Bowie for sure, glad the official video is finally on the official account

  62. S.... R....

    I feel like this upload has some video problems, like there’s a lot of hard pixelization. Maybe it’s just an artifact of it being an older video and put on a digital format. In any case I love this song and it’s been so long since I’ve heard it!

  63. M.... ....

    Fun fact: Peter Frampton actually played lead guitar on most of the songs on the album this song is from, Never Let Me Down, and the subsequent Glass Spider tour. Apparently he & Bowie were childhood friends.

  64. R.... S....

    👋👋👍😄🌹🎼LINDO

  65. E.... ....

    I find Tonight to be far worse than this album.

  66. M.... I....

    Bowie,donde estas?

  67. L.... C....

    What the fuck is this...

  68. E.... H....

    Rip the quality of this video

  69. L.... F....

  71. N.... H....

    I love a bit of NLMD. It great driving music in the morning.

  72. D.... C....

    Love me some David Bowie!!❤️❤️❤️

  73. V.... J....

    I was hoping for 720p at least

    V.... J....

    If you look at it, it was pretty clearly done on videotape (look at the very very 80s video compositing at the beginning), so the source material is either 480i or 525i, probably the former.

  74. f.... d....

    💖💗💕💋💋💋bowie forever

  75. B.... ....

    I’m very thankful for these reuploads. Keeps the passion strong.

    David Bowie para mí fue uno de mis artistas que más me marcaron y es increíble que en otras bandas que me gustan como joy división Bowie aya influenciado tanto

  81. m.... ....

  90. P.... S....

    My first hero......

  91. n.... r....

    If there is any Bowie music video I dislike it's definitely this one

  92. J.... �....

    The worst record

    J.... �....

    My headteacher is the only person I know who likes NLMD

    J.... �....

    I wish I went to your school.

    J.... �....

    Heathen is astonishing. it takes awhile to get into but it's one of the most emotional of his career. Slow Burn wrecks me everytime. listen to the lyricssssss

    J.... �....

    I love the writing on Heathen. Lots of little nursery rhyme references here and there. And in the last track, I love how Bowie references a Lennon lyric (steel and glass) and then rhymes it with a Harrison lyric (all things must pass).

    J.... �....

    joe a God yes, Heathen has amazing music and lyrics. Everytime I listen to the last track I get so emotional

  93. r.... m....

    I miss him so much r.i.p bowie
