Bowie, David - Zeroes Lyrics






(Ladies and Gentlemen
Tonight, yes, the Zeroes will be singing for you!)

Yeah Yeah [x4]

You've arrived in the land
of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow's back claiming redemption is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you
how it feels
And me my little red Corvette
has driven by
My fair weather heart has fallen in
My rainy day girl
is feeling down

And she tells me
that the world is spinning round
I say the dream was all for you
You're nobody else
Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you

Yeah Yeah
Yeah

Hi, can I walk you home
again today
Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey
Something good is happening I don't know what it is
Don't you know we're back on trial again today

And it's breaking wine for you
Hell it's only 'cause you're true
Someone outtimed my heart
Stopping and preaching
and letting love in
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the Zeroes are singing for you
Yes they were
Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you
Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you

Doesn't matter what you try to do
Doesn't matter what you try to do
Doesn't matter where you try to go
Doesn't matter who we really are

Bowie, David Zeroes Comments
  1. E.... D....

    Understand track for sure

  2. K.... B....

    Best song on the album!

  3. J.... G....

    Superb mix!

  4. V.... ....

    This one's already way better and I'm not that far in. This song was always one I skipped but it's actually a great composition, it's just so damn busy and goofy on the original album. Kind of sounds like "Reality" now.

  5. P.... M....

    I think this version of 'Zeroes' is greatly improved over the original.

  6. M.... T....

    Ladies and Gentlemen
    Tonight, yes, the Zeroes will be singing for you!

    Yeah Yeah
    Yeah Yeah
    Yeah Yeah
    Yeah Yeah

    You've arrived in the land of a thousand different names
    And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
    Now tomorrow's back claiming redemption is on your heels
    And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
    And me my little red Corvette has driven by
    My fair weather heart has fallen in
    My rainy day girl is feeling down
    And she tells me that the world is spinning round
    I say the dream was all for you
    You're nobody else
    Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you

    Yeah Yeah

    Hi, can I walk you home again today
    Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey
    Something good is happening I don't know what it is
    Don't you know we're back on trial again today
    And it's breaking wine for you
    Hell it's only cause you're true
    Someone outtimed my heart
    Stopping and preaching and letting love in
    You are my moon, you are my sun
    Heaven knows what you are
    Tonight the Zeroes are singing for you
    Yes they were
    Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you
    Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you

    Doesn't matter what you try to do
    Doesn't matter what you try to do
    Doesn't matter where you try to go
    Doesn't matter who we really are

    Doesn't matter (repeat ad lib)
    Doesn't matter, doesn't matter

  7. N.... C....

    So good love it

  8. L.... M....

    It sounds like “eight days a week”, by the Beatles 💕

  9. S.... A....

    He loved this album and enjoyed touring it and was convinced with the songs but the over production was a bit too much and some of the romantic songs addresed Melissa Hurley and that is an another reason to turn Bowie off it. I love this album and it was Bowie going back to shape and it foreshadowed the harder rock direction of tin machine. It was a step in the right direction. I will take it over Tonight or let's dance anytime.

  10. J.... W....

    Love the rhythm of this song

  11. P.... ....

    I was always like a kid at Christmas, anxiously awaiting his next project. He'll forever be my favorite artist<3X

  12. M.... S....

    Love ya

  13. l.... ....

    @ 1:41 Sure you can!

  14. M.... S....

    You are my hero!

  15. M.... S....

    Diamond Dogs that is! David we will always love you. Forever and forever more!

  16. M.... S....

    Bowie was god (dog spelled backwards).

  17. M.... ....

    To be honest both of the versions are great. The original ond is more energetic/kinda romantic. This one is more romantuc but still good. And I also don't understand why people loves Time Will Crawl so much. Time Will Crawl gets boring after it's first minute.

  18. T.... O....

    I came here for a listen, but on reflection, i dont think i will after all. I dont like all this new stuff, its all shiny and glossy.

  19. T.... O....

    Bowie, works both ways, equality of the sexes.

    T.... O....

    Do NOT read backwards!

    T.... O....

    oooo you little rebel rebel, I like you.

  20. T.... ....

    It's rather Beatley, especially this mix.

  21. T.... ....

    You are my moon, you are my sun
    Heaven knows what you are
    Tonight the Zeroes were singing for you

  22. W.... S....

    2:25 OMG THAT VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL

  23. b.... p....

    Always loved this song, this version is great but so was the album version. Glad this doesn't have the live announcement at the beginning though that l couldn't stand.

  24. S.... H....

    I personally like the 1987 version very much, and I like this new mix by Reeves Gabrels even more. A great song, with a strong melody. Love the sitar.

  25. T.... W....

    Very well created from a legend. Xoxo from: butterfly 🎆🎇✨🎈🎉🎊

  26. W.... ....

    I miss him... started following him when I was 6-yrs-old... that was 1968... have loved him for 50 years. Fell in love with Iman too. I don't even understand the effect he has on me, but he has always felt like a bright shining light of love, lifting me up, soothing my soul, making me feel everything's all right. Miss him.

  27. M.... L....

    Good work!

  28. D.... S....

    I like this but have a ton of bowie records and cds . I am going after his concert stuff . What would be his say top 5 concerts ? I have bowie's Live Los Angeles 74 and it is my favorite live album .

  29. g.... ....

    Now it sounds like an outtake from the "Reality" sessions.

  30. T.... S....

    I always liked this song

  31. b.... ....

    bon morceaux aprés multi écoute je l'ai dans la peau un inédit pas dégueu...

  32. T.... Q....

    The original mix of Zeroes really wasn't good, but this is just lovely. I have mixed feelings about the 2018 mix of the album, but this is most definitely a highlight

  33. M.... P....

    I still like the original version the best, but this version is really cool too! I'm not a fan of most of the re-recorded songs on the 2018 version of "Never Let Me Down", but there are a few songs I like. This is one of them!

  34. J.... S....

    Thanks to the band for an amazing job!!!!

  35. J.... w....

    Someone outshine my heart❤🌎 🥇

  36. L.... C....

    The beginning reminds me of Running Gun Blues

  37. S.... i....

    Mega mothaffuuukkaassss!!!!

  38. S.... P....

    Mr.Jones thank you for this masterpiece ❤

  39. e.... ....

    Such a shame that that little slide down in vocal towards end of this track isn't in the final longer version. Obviously used to shorten song but really nice detail and always look forward to it.

  40. G.... V....

    Riff Beatlesiano (eight days a week), sitar anni '60, via l'obsoleta produzione anni '80...decisamente più gradevole rispetto all'originale.

  41. W.... W....

    He's so unique. Miss him

  42. z.... ....

    anyone else waiting for 90s bowie remasters?

  43. A.... G....

    Best song on reworked album, Reeves` guitar is excellent. This song should have been played on Reality tour.

  44. L.... G....

    Always loved the Never Let Me Down album... Zeroes was one of my favorites, along with Time Will Crawl, Glass Spider and the title track. Some ''experts'' say that this period was a bad one for BOwie, but with his Tin Machine project just around the corner, it was one of his best time, in my opinion. For those who never gave Tin Machine a listen, go!! There's some pretty strong Bowie's songwritting.

  45. R.... F....

    This has been on of Bowies underappreciated gems and I am glad it's being given a remix and the attention it deserves.

  46. R.... ....

    He's back on top again today :)

  47. R.... ....

    You are my moon, you are my sun.. :_ _ __

  48. S.... S....

    I hope this album comes out like Toy. I'm hoping it does, but unsure how they could pull it off.

  49. D.... A....

    “Timing of the Heavens swirl overhead with the Sun and Moon backdrop against the fabric of time. —Deborah Adoptante”

  50. T.... j....

    Only wish Bowie could hear this. He'd love it.

  51. b.... ....

    I always heard this song in the 1987 version

  52. M.... ....

    Still better than anything new. Song recorded back in 1987 for the album "Never let me down". Remixed in 2018.

  53. H.... O....

    Bowie live's

  54. I.... ....

    Ground Zeroes

  55. M.... M....

    Have to say I prefer the original version. It's one of my favorite tracks on the "Never Let Me Down" album. Saw Bowie on his "Glass Spider" tour promoting it in '87. Very underrated album. Miss you David!

  56. W.... B....

    This song is so fucking amazing! Bowie WILL live on within his music.

  57. l.... ....

    I prefer the original. This is ok but it seems like they sucked the life out of the original version.

  58. H.... M....

    Message from the grave!

  59. 1.... M....

    Siempre amé esta canción!!!

  60. R.... G....

    This sounds liberated from the oppressive over-production of 1987.

  61. R.... N....

    I'd like this song with any backing... however, one should note that he's singing at the top of his range, possibly because the slamming drum machines are explosive on the original studio track... didn't everyone use the studio machinery of those mid to late '80's period?... So please stop the revisions, thinking it was initially bad... admit it, we all lived it when it was released in '87

  62. A.... B....

    Perfect.

  63. S.... D....

    Listen to my cover of The Jean Genie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1FRATpYWyw and feel free to leave a comment.

  64. P.... S....

    Up untill now I never really considered Never Let Me Down. I have never really been this wrong.

  65. F.... L....

    Damn how have I not explored Bowie yet he’s absolutely amazing

  66. J.... X....

    Fantastic! Love and Miss You DB!

  67. S.... J....

    David was a prince of the Cabaret, with his closet overflowing stage personas! So beautiful/handsome in his display of ambisexual archetypes.

  68. Q.... ....

    just in case people are confused...this is an old track re mastered..it is not newly released

  69. E.... -....

    It sounds like it would've come straight from The Next Day.

  70. G.... S....

    he lives on in another plane of existence. but fuck i miss him

  71. J.... S....

    What an uplifting song...he's really belting out a consistant high note, too! And the guitar sounds like it's during the Reeves Gabrels era (Earthling/Hours... etc.) Well done, Bowie!

  72. L.... E....

    I prefer the completed album mix tbh!

  73. R.... B....

    *_Zeroes_* to *_Heroes_* .

  74. j.... a....

    bitch I needed this

  75. A.... D....

    Perfectly David 👌💚😍

  76. T.... R....

    maybe you should listen to that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2xeMKD0SDM

  77. e.... ....

    You are my moon, you are my sun, heaven knows what you are...….

  78. L.... ....

    I love you David.

  79. J.... H....

    Like this more stripped down version over the version on Never Let Me Down

  80. A.... P....

    Suena como si cantarán los dioses!!

  81. R.... K....

    This was always my favorite song from this album.

  82. M.... W....

    👏👏👏👏👏

  83. P.... ....

    Never ever even heard of this song and it still sounds current... only bowie..

  84. �.... ....

    これを聴くと70年代の楽曲と比べても遜色ないと思います。
    90年代より遥かに好きだな
    おかしいかな?

  85. W.... B....

    Боже... 23 Мой День Рождения :)

  86. D.... j....

    forever a legend 💙 we miss you starman

  87. K.... J....

    Whenever I listen, I want to cry and smile all in one...miss you David...

  88. �.... ....

    みんな嫌ってたよなこの曲、この時代でも俺は好きだった!
    能天気なBowie,40のBowie
    オリジナル聞くとオーバープロデュースだったのは間違いないけど87年だから時代を考えると
    これはこれでBowie!

  89. b.... ....

    Why is the B in Bowie italicized but all of the other letters aren’t?

    b.... ....

    blackstar The second D in "David" is italicized as well.

  90. s.... ....

    The stars are out tonight

  91. r.... h....

    No. Just no.

    r.... h....

    rosalind hine ?

  92. F.... S....

    it reminds me of Bombers. Don't ask me why. lyrical/subject matter similarities

  93. S.... J....

    Love this Stripped down version
    if anything
    it sounds even More BOWIE

  94. M.... T....

    What an amazing version of that song!! Love it

  95. A.... O....

    Senin şarkıların bir başka be Bowie

  96. R.... t....

    Great to hear the Main Man back in action. Our band, Repulse the Monkey, wrote a tribute to DB called ‘Goodbye Space Boy’ which is a free listen on our BandCamp page.

  97. R.... ....

    So many people have great opinions about any age Bowie but the Eighties' Bowie. The Eighties were the Eighties and that's all. Optical colours, a great feeling of wealth and worlwide peace, there were flamboyant and excessive years and Bowie was such as he strived to be unique in any age. Honestly tell, what's wrong in this piece of music?! Just the prejudice of some people, I think.

  98. h.... ....

    How the album was panned back in the day, i didn't care...I always loved it!!

  99. A.... S....

    Great version of one of my favorite Bowie songs. Thank you so much.
    Loved and missed always David, you are, were and will always be, my Thin White Duke
