Bowie, David - Fill Your Heart Lyrics






Fill your heart with love today
Don't play the game of time
Things that happened in the past
Only happened in your Mind
Only in your Mind-Forget your Mind
And you'll be free-yea'
The writing's on the wall
Free-yea'. And you can know it all
If you choose. Just remember
Lovers never lose
'Cause they are Free of thoughts unpure [sic]
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it Free.

Happiness is happening
The dragons have been bled
Gentleness is everywhere
Fear's just in your Head
Only in your Head
Fear is in your Head
Only in your Head
So Forget your Head
And you'll be free
The writing's on the wall
Free-yea'. And you can know it all
If you choose. Just remember
Lovers never lose
'Cause they are free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it Free!!

Free-yea'. Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah [repeat]

Bowie, David Fill Your Heart Comments
  1. 1.... ....

    Written by the great Paul Williams

  2. D.... P....

    Jongste reagering komt dus van 3 jaar geleden. . . . Oeps. Beste nummer. . . .

  3. G.... ....

    Bowie's and Tiny Tim's , i love 'em both...this song really warms this heart..

  4. R.... M....

    Among all the drugs, hedonism, androgyny, outlandishness, worldwide stardom, critical acclaim and general genius, here is a song I sing to my kids and hope they sing to my grandkids if I'm ever lucky enough to have some. The lyrics all applied then they apply now and despite whatever happens in the World, they'll resonate in 30+ years and beyond

  5. E.... R....

    (17.7.2019)

  6. A.... E....

    A treasured album...

  7. B.... B....

    Sitting in the spring evening sun (basically naked) the song came to me through tapping my hands and started singing it... love it! miss David but thanks for the music <3

  8. P.... K....

    Words sucked into my worried 14 year old mind,they have stayed with me throughout my life! So much Wisdom on this Album,I am so grateful,thank you!

  9. m.... ....

    Martha my Dear kinda started and paved the way for this kind of thing in rock music. Same for Kooks.

  10. C.... B....

    Man, it's like the "It's a Beautiful Day" from its time. Bowie, good as always!

  11. F.... C....

    assolutamente geniale..in tutto..arrivare prima e ..andare via quando tutti arrivavano poi di corsa....lui non saliva sul carro..ma lo creava...mitico..

  12. E.... ....

    I love how this is the next song after Quicksand.
    RIP David Bowie, true legend.

  13. t.... j....

    It's stuped and dume

  14. E.... H....

    This song shocks me. The horn with the almost corny string arrangements is exhilarating. It examples why the album helped the careers of each musician. And the advice is concise. $ave yourself lots grief and follow literally the self improvement therapy suggested.

  15. A.... ....

    It gave me the strength to get through labor. I wrote the lyrics on the wall, to stare at like a mantra, or a poem. It really helped.

    A.... ....

    Writings on the wall

  16. S.... O....

    Thanks for everything John Pollock, sad to see you go.

  17. e.... ....

    John pollock :(

  18. P.... L....

    It's great but it cuts off before the duck-like Sax at the end.

  19. J.... E....

    Paul Williams!

  20. C.... ....

    My favorite Bowie song. RIP Legend.

    C.... ....

    You should check out Biff Rose, he is the actual writer of this song. :)

  21. M.... B....

    David's best album, just an opinion.

    M.... B....

    I agree with you, friend!

  22. S.... V....

    Tiny Tim version is better

  23. K.... K....

    The lawyers cut the ending off...free?...when will it end?

  24. B.... 8....

    i never knew it before, but it makes sense now - this song was written by Paul Williams and Biff Rose. So easy to see that, cuz it never felt like a Bowie song. But he did it so well. Always loved Paul, and he's a good friend of my brother's. But now he's EXTRA special, because Bowie covered him. Cuz Bowie is god.

    B.... 8....

    Biff Rose wrote it. Bowie credits him on the album. Paul Williams kicked in a line or so, basically... but took credit...

  25. K.... H....

    Love the words to this. Thank you David Bowie x RIP

    K.... H....

    Check out Biff Rose, he is the actual writer of this song. :)

  26. K.... H....

    One of the most beautiful songs ever RIP David Bowie x

    K.... H....

    Check out Biff Rose, he is the actual writer of this song. :)

  27. a.... f....

    Fill your heart with Love today,
    don't play the game of time.
    Things that happened in the past
    only happened in your mind.
    Only in your Mind.
    Oh! Forget your mind and you'll be free! yeah
    The writing's on the wall,
    Free! yeah
    And you can know it all
    if you choose. Just remember,
    Lovers never lose!
    Cause they are free of thoughts unpure
    and of thoughts unkind.
    Gentleness clears the soul,
    Love cleans the mind
    and makes it Free!

    Oh, happiness is happening,
    the dragons have been bled.
    Gentleness is everywhere,
    fear's just in your head.
    Only in your head,
    fear is in your head,
    only in your head!
    so Forget your head
    and you'll be free!

    The writing's on the wall
    Free! yeah
    And you can know it all
    if you choose. Just remember
    Lovers never lose.

    and of thoughts unkind.
    Gentleness clears the soul,
    Love cleans the mind
    and makes it free!!

    Biff Rose is the actual writer of this song. David was cool but often took the great work of others as his own. His own guitarist for example.

  36. S.... G....

    Just found out about Biff Rose who wrote this song through an interview with Rick Wakeman who played the piano on this. He once asked David Bowie who inspired him and DB said that Biff Rose did, and played Wakeman BF's album for him. Nice song - thanks.

    S.... G....

    Paul "Biff" Rose wrote it with Paul Williams

    Here's Biff's version. Originally was on Biff's album The Thorn In Mrs. Rose's Side I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce2cFyVPjo0

  37. P.... E....

    So sad to hear about David Bowie's passing. A true legend whose songs will live on. Fill Your Heart is one of the most uplifting songs I know. Turn up to 11 and enjoy.

    C.... C....

    this was written by Biff Rose. Bowie was a ripoff artist

  40. o.... ....

    RIP David Bowie. Thank you. You will be so missed.

    Such a nice post. Thanks Guy. RIP David.

  44. I.... K....

    Pure delight.

  45. E.... V....

    Go and listen to Tiny tim's version

  46. b.... ....

    absolutely the best version of this song, but the ending is cut

    b.... ....

    +brandonedgerarities the ending is only cut because this will have been lifted from the CD not the Vinyl, which flows into Andy Warhol. the thing to do would have been Fill your Heart / Andy Warhol Segue

  47. H.... d....

    Fear's just in your Head
    Only in your Head
    Fear is in your Head
    Only in your Head
    So Forget your Head
    And you'll be free
    The writing's on the wall
    Free-yea'. And you can know it all
    If you choose. Just remember
    Lovers never lose

    H.... d....

    @Hélène d'Hervilly not being funny , but we are not deaf

    H.... d....

    @DrShittyBottomHammer mmm, not being funny, but apparently you Are deaf... "Fill your heart with love today, Don't play the game of time..." :-D

  48. J.... H....

    Delivered in the most purest of forms and full of life.Rick Wakemans piano is sick w/Bowie playing Sax and working his lovely magic*

  49. R.... ....

    Tiny Tim did it way better. And first. Just saying.

    R.... ....

    RetaliationGAMING13 ha hà

    R.... ....

    Are you kidding!!! Learn some history my friend!!

    R.... ....

    Ok I was wrong! I can’t believe it! I’ve learned some history! Bowie’s song though...through and through! ❤️

    R.... ....

    Well while everyone's getting technical it was written by Paul Williams & Biff Rose, first performed by Rose. But does it even matter? Great music is great music.

  50. I.... ....

    Feeeeeears just in your head

  51. D.... ....

    my all time favourite

  52. J.... W....

    awesome song, i like it from the thin white duke, everybody fill your heart with love, never give in to hate.

  53. I.... H....

    Heard this at the end of the first episode of the American version of "Getting On." I knew it was Bowie and I had to find it! Cannot believe they used this on an American HBO series in 2013. ..so cool!

    I.... H....

    i was going crazy trying to find out what this was,i knew i knew it and knew it was very Velvet Goldmine i tried everything to find teh credits from the show and finally found it here ,ps i LOVE that show

    I.... H....

    and the funniest part is i bought this album eons ago so i dont know what i was or wasnt thinking LOL

    I.... H....

    I hadn't heard it for years but I knew it was old Bowie. I just googled until I found it because it was bothering me. :-)

  54. A.... v....

    Best lyrics ever

  55. d.... ....

    Happy Birthday to songwriter Paul Williams, covered here by Bowie

  56. J.... d....

    Filling your heart with love any day is good. I filled my heart with love before I went to the shops today. Gentleness cleared my soul and I felt free. Yeah, yeah. Happiness is happening. The baker was pleased, very pleased to see me.

  57. G.... C....

    my favorite song as of now!

  58. d.... c....

    FFS Maybe he has better things to do with his time.

  59. p.... ....

    David Bowie singing Paul Williams. A 70's match that seems absurd and yet inevitable all at once.

  60. 1.... ....

    BIFF ROSE! ! !

  61. J.... M....

    Majestuoso David Bowie, grandiosa canción.

  62. W.... M....

    @holydiver73 You could be right. Hard to tell. But the best song on the album? That's a stretch for me.

  63. W.... M....

    @holydiver73 Time to smoke another joint, I think.

  64. N.... ....

    Lol you cropped the funky piano run at the end!

  65. N.... ....

    Rick Wakeman's piano makes this the best song on Hunky Dory

  66. M.... C....

    love it! :D

  67. P.... V....

    great album, i think his best one
