David Bowie - Criminal World Lyrics






You never told me of your other faces
You were the widow of a wild cat
And now I know about your special kisses
And I know you know where that's at
I guess I recognize your destination
I think I see beneath your make-up
What you want is sort of separation
This is no ordinary
This is no ordinary
(ah, ah, ah)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal worl
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

You've got a very heavy reputation
But no one knows about your low-life
I know a way
to find a situation
And hold a candle
to your high life disguise
You caught me kneeling
at your sister's door
That was no ordinary stick-up
I'm well aware just
what you're looking for
I am no ordinary
I am no ordinary
(ah, ah, ah)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

    This album is great all the way thru. In my top 5 Bowie. Lets Dance Hunky Dory The Man Who Sold The World and Ziggy Stardust are all almost perfect . I also like about half of Diamond Dogs, Scary Monsters, Low, and maybe Lodger but each of those has too many great songs and too many bad songs to be in the same caregory.

    D.... �....

    The half of diamond dogs and scary monsters is bad but all Lets dance is good? Songs like without you, ricochet and shake it are really bads.
    Mine list:
    1-Ziggy stardust
    2-Scary monsters
    3-Aladdin sane
    4-Blackstar
    5-Low
    6-Diamond dogs
    7- The man who sold the world
    8- Station to station
    9- Reallity
    10- hunky dory
    Bonus: Outside

  10. e.... ....

    at 1.25x speed it sounds *amazing*
