Bowie, David - I'll Take You There Lyrics






Today, today is the 1st of May
Everything around us
Everything a lie
Your heart's beating fast
As we race through the dark
Past the really good people
Who do what they're told

What will be my name
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there
Who will I become
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there

Sophie and Lev are running away
These are the days
The days of gloom
Lev can't smile and Sophie can't sing
A mile to the future
Where tomorrow is king

What will be my name
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there
Who will I become
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there

I don't need to know
Know where you are
Only that you are
Safe in this world
Then I'll be content
To get on with my life
Eat, drink and sleep
Look up at the stars

What will be my name
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there
Who will I become
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there

What will be my name
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there
Who will I become
In the USA?
Hold my hand and
I'll take you there

    Today IS the 1st of May.

  4. G.... C....

    Can't believe it didn't make the album. Savage riff.

    G.... C....

    I can't believe it either.

    G.... C....

    It made the American version.

  5. S.... L....

    I don't need to know
    Know where you are
    Only that you are
    Safe in this world
    Then I'll be content
    To get on with my life
    Eat, drink and sleep
    Look up at the stars

  6. S.... F....

    What's this song about? What do the lyrics mean?

    S.... F....

    It sounds to me like a song about immigration.
    "What will be my name in the USA?"
    When most immigrants came to America from non-English speaking countries, they were given different "Americanized" names.

    S.... F....

    Thanks very much

    S.... F....

    He lost track of the person he left behind when he went to America? The person maybe was going to go to America with him but for some reason didn't.

  7. D.... ....

    I think this is one of the best songs in the album. Lyrically not the best, but it would fit perfectly to something released in the early 80s.

  8. P.... N....

    such an inspirational man!!

  9. S.... ....

    Supersensational The Next Day bonus..Track 17 on my CD. Yeah, Cool Song! Another goodie of Bowie Music. R.I.P.

  15. R.... A....

    Probable the best bonus track ever, it could be a single

  16. n.... f....

    how come i bought the "deluxe" and don't get this?

  17. a.... ....

    Among the weakest lyrics on the album, but a killer guitar. Very 1979-80.

  18. P.... F....

    exactly the best song on album

  19. M.... ....

    La mejor canción del Album, me encanta esta canción, pero es muy corta.
    Best song of the album. Love this song but it´s too short. Great David Bowie.
