Bowie, David - The Next Day Lyrics
Look into my eyes he tells her
I'm gonna say goodbye he says yea
Do not cry she begs of him goodbye yea
All that day she thinks of his love yea
The gormless and the baying crowd right there
They can't get enough of that doomsday song
They can't get enough of it all
Listen
Listen to the whores he tells her
He fashions paper sculptures of them
Then drags them to the river‘s bank in the cart
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark
Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases
They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death
And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest
First they give you everything that you want
Then they take back everything that you have
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
They know god exists for the devil told them so
They scream my name aloud down into the well below
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day

una de las canciones que mas censuraron en mexico en aquel año aun recuerdo.
y eso que se presumia mediaticamente que existia libertad de expresion,y yo que pagaba el dish hasta lo censuraron en mtv,exa tv, que mal plan
And to think only about 50 years before this video, John Lennon got in serious hot water for saying The Beatles were bigger than Jesus.
The mix of this video just ruins the feel of the song. Butchers it.
God not exist... Bowie do
Just a thought. And I’ve been a “follower” of Bowie’s career a long while now. A lot of his message is also self-reflexive. “Can’t get enough of that ‘doomsday’ song.” And while yes, Bowie’s intentions might have been directed solely at “organized religion” and aimed specifically at the Catholic church, he could also be directing his pen at himself, in that he, too, has been singing that ‘doomsday’ song all along....i.e., “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide,’ ‘Five Years,’ ‘Ashes to Ashes,’ etc. The reason for this explication? Many don’t realize Ziggy never left David Bowie. He’s admitted as much that for awhile in his life Ziggy took over his personality, to the point where he thought he was “deranged” (It’s all deranged, no control). Also watch the video for “Little Wonder” where a Ziggy-like character keeps peering into the camera lens looking for the “older” Bowie, Ziggy. I could go on, and I have, but just a thought. This is the first time I’ve seen this video, because it was banned at one point, or rather, taken down, but here it is! And there you are!
What does Gary Oldman say? "You call yourself a ..." ??
I wasn't ready for this song until now.
Bowie was often a few years or decades ahead of the rest.
Genius.
what a nuisance the single black girl playing guitar is hardly shown in the video had to find that out in her wikipedia page she was a base guitar player for david bowie and u say that why black people don't listen to this trash music
When was this recorded? Bowie looks a bit young for this time?
Creo que el mensaje del video es claro
Bowie’s resurrection 2013
heterosexuality left the chat
still missing you
Marion Cotillard ❤
There are many, and more in number, holy men and women un the Church. This is not about the Church. It is about David Bowie. He has meant so much to me. He returned to genius in the face of death. He is crucifying himself. He is mocking himself. I told a spiritual director that I sensed so much anger in Bowie as he approached death. The spiritual director said that is appropriate. He felt he had more to offer. He would acquiesce at the right moment. I find it insightful that Bowie would sing I don’t know who I am as he approaches death. Paul McCartney in his latest incredible effort Egypt Station sings: I don’t know what I am doing wrong…where am I going wrong. Men of great accomplishment, humble and simple enough to drive deeper. They go interior rather than worldly.
Thank you David.
Always puzzled me why he only did half the song.
Man with a fatal disease, fighting with it, and capability to continue literally to the grave with creating superb stuff. He made it.
I agree the first time I saw Lazarus and black star. I shook all over.

Какойто лютый пиздец
Marion!!!!!
Classic Bowie,,, Brilliant lyrics,,, vocals ,,, brilliant song ,,this was released when Bowie was 66 !! (Then there was BLACKSTAR)
I love the Beatles and the Stones but they haven't done anything worth talking about since the late 70's !!!
Тааааак, а кто еще здесь из-за клипа "Ленинграда" ? )))))
Wait a minute. Has this got something to do with Bowie's story about Vince Taylor going on stage in France in white robes and declaring himself Jesus? Bowie wrote about it in Return of the Thin White Duke and later said Vince was his inspiration for Ziggy.
А этой тупой пизде бешлей написали в её фейсбуке, что она ебанутая?
Какая гадость!🤣
Ты был прекрасен, как Иисус
В произведениях искусств
Я думала, что вознесусь
От красоты или от чувств...
Ни хира ее похоже на шнура. Врут
Да ничего Шнуров у них не спёр... Весьма всё косвенно
совершенно разные вещи...
0:01 restart.
А Давайте сейчас дружно все фильмы про любовь назовём плагиатами друг друга🙄😅Респект обоим клипам, и Боуи , и Шнуру) Это две совершенно разные работы, заслуживающие внимания зрителя, но называть что-то из этого плагиатом другого - бред, бред и ещё раз бред.
Какой плагиат то?😄 И там и там происходит действие и играет музыка?)
@Nikolay Vityazev спасибо
Кто тут от Шнурова)
Кто это?
@Иван Рожков один педар из питера)
И как у шнурова может быть плагиат? Это совершенно разные клипы
не ведись на эту хуйню
Какая хадость!🤣
Никому неизвестная блядище захотела пропиариться на громкой славе Шнура.
Кто это?
(Random Russian)
Кто здесь с БП?
David Bowie and Gary oldman is the ultimate best! The song is still one of my absolute favorite. David Bowie was amazing.
Wait a sec... Was that dirty priest in bramstokers Dracula as Dracula??
Holy shit it is that is Gary Oldman and I just recognized him through childhood rememberance of bramstokers Dracula holy eff
This video was a surprise. Very nice
I wish I was this cool.
Brechtian. Brazen. Brilliant. Bowie.
Sinister Sexy. Super cool.
Un nuevo personaje para el teatral Bowie: El profeta o falso profeta según el contexto de corrupción del videoclip
Gary oldman could shout me to sleep lol
Tnx you David!
THANK YOU DAVID!
una de las canciones que mas me gustan y que escucho desde hace tiempo,de la cual critica al sistema religioso,en el que se rige la suciedad
Two Oscar winners and one Starman in one video, awesome!
Plankton is sweating like hell.
He’ll keep on sweating till tomorrow.
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day.
And the next day.
Notre Dame made me think of this song
.....Lazarus suddenly doesnt freak me out anymore
V. The purest Churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error, and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan.Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to his will.
VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ.[13] Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.This is snippet from Westminster confession of faith and regardless of Bowie's personal faith,not important, but he is well read and I think that both the song and the video are referring to this part one way or another at least in the part of the pope and churches.
I see this video in a positive light not in a negative one really and I like it.It is about the church that gone astray from God,the catholic church and it is an attack on papacy. You notice the scene where Gary Old man hits Bowie or throws things into him? It is a metaphor that even if Jesus comes back on earth in his second coming and attacked this church for its deeds they will say he is a liar himself.The Video also presented the pope as a one who turns a blind eye and a negative one who weeps but does nothing at all and then disappears.This pope also looks like the pope Benedict who stepped down ironically this very year, 2013.I think Bowie in a way or an another was reflecting on this.
1:30 His voice reverted right back to "Man Who Sold The World"
So true. 🤘
and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day....
Love this video so much. But does anyone else hate the forced Pop-ups at the end of YouTube videos? Completely spoils the artistic choices made by the Artist and Directors involved, hate it!
Yeah, it irritates me as well.
I cannot see any attack on Christianity in this video.It is about Hippocrates, false religiosity and the holier than thou attitude from outside and inside is full of evil and about men who claim to be men of God while they are working for Satan.It is about people wearing masks of purity and they are full of evil.I reached this conclusion because there is a scene where Gary Oldman hits Bowie and insults him accusing him of being a false prophet and his light defeated Gary.It maybe about the second coming to and how people won't believe that Jesus is true and alive while they preach their fake, old organized religion that is devoid of soul.For those who attacked Bowie, read the message correctly...There are too many artists out there attacking religion for a gag and the Vatican does nothing to them and doesn't attack them.Bowie struck a chord and hit it hard.
I think it's one of my favourite of all his songs and love that chorus. I think they could have done a better video even by making it into a mini film, this is way too short. The audio is a different mix to the album, if I didn't know better I'd even go so far as to say it was done live.
Marion. Cotillard. How... Just, how? How can a woman be so... Just, so gorgeous. That I must close my eyes. And wish I might weep.
He is god
The hell is waiting
David Bowie got sick and tired of this world taking him wrong It’s the hypocritical assholes that just hated on him Morons always confuse religion with artistry
This is what it's like to enter my school.
Look into my eyes", he tells her
"I’m gonna say goodbye" he says, yeah
"Do not cry", she begs of him, "goodbye", yeah
All that day she thinks of his love, yeah
They whip him through the streets and alleys there
The gormless and the baying crowd right there
They can’t get enough of that doomsday song
They can’t get enough of it all
Listen!
"Listen to the whores", he tells her
He fashions paper sculptures of them
Then drags them to the river‘s bank in the cart
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark
And the priest, stiff in hate, now demanding fun, begin
Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases
They chase him through the alleys, chase him down the steps
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death
And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest
First they give you everything that you want
Then they take back everything that you have
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
They know god exists for the devil told them so
They scream my name aloud down into the well below
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Here I am
Not quite dying
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
Its branches throwing shadows
On the gallows for me
And the next day
And the next
And another day
Listen!
This was meant for the city within a city...They know......running scared like Rats.......
Definitely in my top ten favorite Bowie songs.
What a fantastic video. I miss him more with each passing day.
Listen!
Looks straight out of Twin Peaks
Gary the priest had Elvis hairstyle :)
I love the reference to Osiris...his body floated from Egypt to Lebanon and rested in a hollow tree.
This is criticism of corruption in the church, basically. He is even punishing them with crucifixion wounds.
Brilliant
What womens
Gary oldman and David Bowie in one video... end me now 😍😂
Lo amare para siempre Don David
I love england
'Station to Station' about the 'Stations' of the Cross ? 35 years later..... this?
How good was bowie when he can write a classic like this after 40 years of writing music? A one Off genius
الحياة قثيثه
Sex king
👎👎👎👎👎😠
Bowie was 66 years old when he wrote this. That's all needs to be said.
God talk to david special
this is the sequel to the black star
Thank You David
السلام مرحبا
Usually Bowie's music helps me calm down but this video was much more scary then Blackstar and even that's scary... I know it said explicit but still all of them that say explicit, aren't usually THAT "explicit"
Another amazing track by the starman that is in my greatest David bowie tracks of all time
Last words made me teary. :(
Such a great Bowie song. Only wish he did the entire song for the video. It's also forgotten that YouTube banned this video for a few hours because it violated their terms they said. Bowie of course received tons of backlash from religious groups. Always the ever evolving musician even into his final years and always making the most original videos. There will never be another David Bowie
You’ll never get this formula, you twisted fiend!
Oh but I will, even if I have to come back tomorrow! And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day...
Phone call, Mr Plankton.
*through the phone* And the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day...
I love sex
I am Openly Secular but I do interpret this as a grotesque criticism of the Catholic Church. As Bill Maher said years ago when the child abuse started surfacing he said that they had a systematic problem and criticized the clergy and the Popes that came before the one that currently holds the title.
