Bowie, David - No Control Lyrics
Stay away from the future
Back away from the light
It's all deranged - no control
Sit tight in your corner
Don't tell God your plans
No control
If I could control tomorrow's haze
The darkened shore wouldn't bother me
If I can't control
the web we weave
My life will be lost in the fallen leaves
Every single move's uncertain
Don't tell God your plans
No control
I should live my life on bended knee
If I can't control my destiny
You've gotta have a scheme
You've gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrow's man
No control
Stay away from the future
Don't tell God your plans
It's all deranged
No control
Forbidden words, deafen me
In memory, no control
See how far a sinful man
Burns his tracks, his bloody robes
You've gotta have a scheme
You've gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrow's man
I should live my life on bended knee
If I can't control my destiny
No control I can't believe
I've no control
It's all deranged
I can't believe I've no control
It's all deranged
Deranged
Deranged

Bowie, David No Control Comments

This song makes me think about... oh wait a minute!
Friend: can I copy your h.w
Me:yeah but try to not make It noticable
Friend: no control but SpongeBob
Dude they didn’t copy it, literally they got his permission to use it

No fish knows the future...
Not a single shark or soul...
@Kittyroo V. its all deranged...
Garrett Eulett no control....
You know what would be funny? If somewhere in the YouTube comments, we manage to find the whole play transcribed.
a means to an end ,, JOY DIVISION,, even nicholas pegg missed that aspect ,,
Outside was the first Bowie album I listened to in its entirety, and if Diamond Dogs didn't exist it'd be my first favorite Bowie album. But ya know what? I'm glad they used it in the Spongebob musical. It made my year better, and now more people who otherwise wouldn't have ever even thought about the album have been prompted to give it a try. I can conceptually understand why it was contributed with necessary lyric changes to the Spongebob musical because of the whole end of the world theme fitting this song perfectly, despite the fact that Spongebob and Outside is possibly the strangest combination of things you could put together. It's like chocolate-covered oranges. You hear about it and think "Holy shit, this is gonna be the worst thing I've ever consumed", but then you consume it, and yeah it's weird but it's also fantastic.
I'm glad David Bowie was able to implement his song into the SB Musical. Even if he had to change some lyrics to it.
It's still a nice bop in its original format and I enjoy the lyrics in the original version too. Both versions are good.
Great for any fan of David Bowie.
That Random Cardcaptor omg u ruined it. There was a comment that said this song makes me think about nothing then one under that says this song makes me think about everything and now ur dum comment is in the middle of them 🙄
This song makes me think about neverything
Someone needs to mash this up with the version from the Spongebob Musical.
i mean, the song its difficult, because this albums rounds around a mini fiction about a new bowie character: the detective Nathan Adler, chasing a murder named "The minotaur" inside the lore of the album, its the moment when the detective drive mad, and lost control of himself and his lies, i interpreted as the songs where the murder is revealed sighly that is indeed the detective.
This song makes me think about something
Spongebob brought me here! I can’t believe this is a real song! I like the Spongebob version better.
Sounds like Scott Walker.
We have assumed control, you prick
LOL @ 1:17 'that, us a zinger from gitlerr very bowls'
Does a vinyl ecen exist of this song? What would that even soubd to look want more look like?
Neighbors fucking neighbors propagates neighbors, Jim Nabors be-
lieved before he committed to a he-man to man-handle his oily anal
needs in a deranged way, divorced from a tall wife's nurturing love.
A great song and an amazing album! But the «If I could control tomorrowʼs haze»-part (1:16) was...well...«inspired» by the first lines of The Doorsʼ «Crystal Ship», wasnʼt it? Itʼs so obvious.
Great song
Questo album è magnifico.E' un vero peccato che sia stato così sottovalutato...
Stay away from the future
Back away from the light
It's all deranged - no control
Sit tight in your corner
Don't tell God your plans
It's all deranged
No control
If I could control tomorrow's haze
The darkened shore wouldn't bother me
If I can't control
the web we weave
My life will be lost in the fallen leaves
Every single move's uncertain
Don't tell God your plans
It's all deranged
No control
I should live my life on bended knee
If I can't control my destiny
You've gotta have a scheme
You've gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrow's man
No control
Stay away from the future
Don't tell God your plans
It's all deranged
No control
Forbidden words, deafen me
In memory, no control
See how far a sinful man
Burns his tracks, his bloody robes
You've gotta have a scheme
You've gotta have a plan
In the world of today, for tomorrow's man
I should live my life on bended knee
If I can't control my destiny
No control I can't believe
I've no control
It's all deranged
I can't believe I've no control
It's all deranged
Deranged
Deranged
The end is in our future
Evidence has come to light
It's all deranged - no control
Sit tight in your corner
No point in making plans
It's all deranged
No control
The science is clear
I'm afraid it's true
The end's really here
, there's nothing we can do
And if I read these numbers right
Our time is up
tomorrow night!
Time runs out tomorrow
Terror in our final hours
It's all deranged
No control
Lava will flow and we'll burn when it does
Just ashes and smoke
where me money once was
There's gotta be a scheme
There's gotta be a plan
I think we should run
while we still can
While we... No control!
Stay away from the future
No point in making plans
It's all deranged
No control
Everyone's so scared and sad
Just one volcano, that's not so bad
Until Bikini Bottom's gone
Let's all keep calm and carry on
Ahhh!
No control
I can't believe I've no control
It's all deranged
I can't believe I've no control
It's all deranged
Deranged!
Deranged!
AAAAAAAHHHH!!!
AAAAAAAHHHH!!!
AAAAAAAHHHH!!!
;)
This just in...
Lava will flow and will burn when it does
Just ashes and smoke where me money once was
@Jeremy The Tiger There's gotta be a sceme. There's gotta be a plan.
I think we should run while we still can.
@DocJones1010 I think we should run...while we still can!
Oh I understand now
I know why you're here, and me too.
*AHHHHHHHHH!*

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
*tick* *tock*
*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

So... Spongebob killed Baby Grace??
I am shocked, appalled and ashamed that I didn't think of this joke first. Well done, and how dare you.
This song makes me think about something
I love how one comment says 'This song makes me think about everything' and another says 'This song makes me think about nothing'.
And this comment is right above both of those lmao
Then another says "this makes me think of Spongebob"
I'm here bc I like David Bowie
I'm laughing that all 14 other comments are about this being in SB the musical
Okay but you have to admit it's pretty fucking cool lmao
Spongebob musical is pretty lit tho
Well the SB Musical is really awesome though. Just saying.
Okay but so is yours tho
This was re-elected for The SpongeBob Musical!
"Re-elected"
Bill Zypher I meant re-made, sorry, autocorrecting is stupid on my device.
i shall honor thy god
here bc of the spongebob musical lol
Anyone here after finding out they used this song (with different lyrics) in the Spongebob Musical??
Feels weird that a SpongeBob musical just changed words to a Bowie song.
@Digital Unity these were the originals lyrics of the song, Tom Kitt edited it (with David Bowie) down to what it is now :)
Mr. C just look up spongebob musical no control its pretty good even if it is almost the same song
No wonder this one instantly blew me away!!
In the off Broadway version, it's almost identical. The televised Broadway version changes the song completely so it can better reflect the situation and give the ensemble more parts. All three versions are awesome.
This song makes me think about the third song in the Spongebob Squarepants Musical
Because it is.
Thax I know, I was making fun of comments that say “this song makes me think about ___”
Tedoomsi that’s a very specific type of comment that most people won’t probably immediately recognize. That’s a joke that you need a lot of prior information to understand.
randomness928 Yeah, but that doesn’t necessarily detract from the joke.
I liked that David was able to use this song for the upcoming Broadway show of the musical "Spongebob Squarepants the Musical" before he passed away. May he RIP.
We just saw Spongebob this week, and it was so great to see this song performed in it!!
You do know that he didn’t make this song for spongebob the musical,right?
This song makes me think about nothing
do you like this song?

I love how right under this comment someone said "This song makes me think about everything"
