Bowie, David - Lady Stardust Lyrics
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
Of darkness and disgrace
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
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
And he was alright, the band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long
Oh how I sighed
When they asked if I knew his name
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
And he sang all night long
[Spoken:]
Get some pussy now!

Bowie, David Lady Stardust Comments
2:53 can any of y’all tell me what he’s saying cause I’m hearing “ eat the pussy now” 🤷🏽♀️😔
Most of all Bowies' older songs really touch all of our hearts!! … Miss him!
Definitely one of the greatest songs on this album...…….listened to this every day when I was 13 yrs old...…...and he was alright......
"I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey, Lady Stardust sang her song of darkness and dismay."
This song is very underrated!
The lyrics are incredible. We used to listen to this on the way to the Jersey Shore back in the day. Everybody in the car singing. Good times.
Should be on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.1
Pussys, let's listen to bowie and keep on partying
Nos enseñó a ser héroes aunque sea por un sólo día, y ese gran día se lo deberemos a Bowie toda la vida. Que disco más bonito, era un genio.
possibly a bit overlooked, but imo the best song on the whole amazing album.
What a killer tune, speak to my heart !
always the best my glory days
Le amo, señor Bowie
Thank you Glenn
**Let's get some pussy now **
Lady Stardust sand her songs of darkness and disgrace!
Oh god, I'm in love all over again..
this will be my funeral song, its a happy song.
An album without weak points. Every song is almost perfect in every way ...
What a voice!!
I'm David Bowie.
First record i ever bought
What does he say at the very end before the piano?
You can kiss him now ??
Hayden Foote lol I’ve been trying to find out for a while, it doesn’t say in the lyrics thank you
@erin currie Actually i think the guy above who posted "let's get some pussy now" might be correct! lol I can hear both haha :-)
Hayden Foote I think your idea is more accurate, but it definitely could be the second one
@erin currie https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/lady-stardust/
Well apart from the Heathen album, which has a total of 11 very good songs! Just incredible material from the tin white duke!
Great song from David! Simply one of his best! Top ten, for sure!
The piano intro is so beautiful !!
2:53 “Get some pussy now”
Possibly the greatest song I've ever heard. It's just so beautiful.
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down - oh yeay Coldplay fans - too edgy for ye?
My favorite Bowie track from my favorite album of him💓 anyone the same?
YE Baby
My favorite song from it album.
I miss you Bowie <3
Cancer gets to the best people, damn shame. RIP David Bowie.
Rip Mick Ronson on piano and backing vocals.
Listen the Italian "Lucio Battisti". Bowie loves his music and his album
Such an underrated song, I swear this is my lonely Friday night jam
This is the most underrated song of all time.
Lady Stardust is Marc Bolan, the song was originally called, 'He Was Alright (A Song for Marc)'.
Such an underrated song, I swear this is my lonely Friday night jam
My favorite track on the album <3
Such an underrated song, I swear this is my lonely Friday night jam
This song helped a lot of queer, trans, gays growing up.... me as well ! BOWIE YOU HERO !
David was 7 years older than me, so I'm fortunate to have grown up with his music.
"I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey"
I remember waking up to the news and crying a lot. He was like an “uncle” to me. You know what I mean? Such an inspiration, today I miss him ❤️
One of the best LP's of all time? One of the best artists of all time? For me, both No'1...
Oh no doubt!
Is this Mick Ronson on piano?
Good question
It's Rono
Shane Dawson brought me here
Killer tune
He's really good, but he's no Bolan. If Marc and Lou had a baby that baby would Bowie. Shit , The dude probably would of taking that as a compliment. Bowie had impeccable taste of Ebert proportions
“I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey.”
This is wire, because the melody of this song, makes me think in Life On Mars
Nowhere to be seen again unless it’s in the fishing net
The last time I listen to that I was getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle
Fuck me that was three years ago you made that comment it doesn’t really matter how much time it took i’m just being a drunken pig 🐷 Hoik
I learn something new every day i’m sure Mark would’ve been proud of it So sorry bit of English writing
Best album of all time
Cazzo sono muto...
Voglio eire che non so con chparlo.
Credo che tu sia sterile ,,,,,ma non con ta per me x il bene che ti voglio...semplice.
i got to live in the earth for only 16 years. i feel so much for never met him.
Why did I discover this song in fuc***g 2019?
I've been listening to it compulsively for 3 days!
The song went on forever...your songs will go on forever, dear Mr. Bowie.
Perhaps one of the greatest songs written in modern times. Such words such fantastic melodies, I am rocked from the first day I heard it. 1972
Marc Bolan.
退廃と耽美を感じるような綺麗な曲です。
The lyrics in the description are mising the final line, "Get some pussy now"
Thats not what it says. It's something 'closer' , I've just listened to the isolated vocal track and it's much clearer there.
The part when he says " alright" it's looks like another 1970/1980 song... Just in the chorus did for some ladies... Maybe dance or pop music
Classic Bowie played the hell out of this record...good music to smoke to🤫😉
Oh for sure!
Grew up on this but the first time i heard it high i distinctly remember Bowie saying "Lick Her Pussy Now" @ 2:52. never heard it before but it's clear as day now, you can't unhear that. First album i ever listened to high, too. Set the bar
The best album for many years.
Excluding Chicago V and Tubular Bells, of course...
Buddy owned the 70.s nuff' said
That man could craft a song like no other. RIP David.
You just get those moments that can't be recreated.
This album was his real breakthrough
Must of been a unique space in creation for him to occupy .
Ahead of his time.
I was a young man when I first heard this...now I'm 48 and I still love it just the same.
I always loved this song.
Quite simply my favourite album of all time 47 years on ? and I still listen to it
You can always tell the real stuff
Sometimes if you create
It's very much from the moment.
One of my favorites of his...
This was of the moment
How splendid a moment in time.
"He was alright - really quite paradise"
I was 22 listened to this one evening before a fishing trip after work .
Really quite out of sight.
I like the seldom mentioned footnote..
Should be played at maximum volume.
Wundervoller starman🤗🤴🤴🤴der König der Musik
still great almost 50 years later
Ese piano magico!
he sure did like to sing about space didn't he?
MY FROG smells like Black Coffee
This song is so romantic. I can't think of many songs in which a male singer swoons over another man....
so i read david said, schizophrenia runs in his family. suprise, suprise! lol , joking...love this album , a great achievement for music and art.
Thank you Ronno. You were beyond amazing, and without you, we wouldn't have the Bowie we all loved so dearly. Merry Christmas to the both of you, and the other spiders from Mars. ✌
A versão do Seu Jorge dá de 10 a 0 kkkk
My eyes grow tears of pure JOY...
i have this cassete from new i just love it . happy trails
I saw Ziggy/Spiders, Diamond Dogs and Station to Station tours, all high points for me.
I find it so stupid that this song sounds so good yet it makes me feel soo, sad...
Idk why but i reel this Song Is dedicated to Freddy Mercury.
"The boy in the bright blue jeans jumped up on the stage"
Its about Marc Bolan.
Simplesmente BOWIE!
Peace Grateful frog
for all of us who have at one time or another felt like the Hunchback of Notre Dame in a crowd, this song has helped me get through those moments of doubt and pain.
his song is still playing
Always thought he sounded like Elton John on this song.
