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
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
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

David Bowie Criminal World Comments
It's a song to get lost in. I love the bass in the middle.
I always thought this was a song about she males
That guitar will hold my heart forever
Best album from single artist all time
The dark horse of the album . . . stealthy, under the radar
I always thought this was a song about she males
Guitar solo = cut & paste from Let's Dance!
china girl too.
This Song Is Wildly Great. True Bowie 💙🕷
i LOVE the bass in this
Nile <3
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.
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
at 1.25x speed it sounds *amazing*
no seas pel....t..u.do
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
Thank you
Ahahah Stevie feat. Albert king...
guto magro There’s a great long clip of them in a jam session. Love the cool, piercing urban style of Albert.
I love him!
It doesn't hit you at first, but if you were around in that time, NOTHING ELSE really sounded like this album. True Bowie.
I discovered this album like a year and a half before he pasnsed and haven't stopped listening to it since the first time
I always thought this was a song about she males
Isnt the best bowie's album. Shake it, ricochet and without you are trash songs and, only modern love and china girl are really goods songs. Lets dance, cat people and criminal world are the Ok songs
@El viajero musical ricochet is a great song lol most that album was the best
anticipation of the trans agenda?
Love bowie from space oddity to blackstar, a true legend, the lets dance album is still my favorite, cant say enough about bowie, rip
I always thought this was a song about she males
Osea neta YouTube antes de esta joya musical eterna tener que aventarme en los anuncios de mierda una canción de farruko????? Que poca madre
This song has the best intro that i have ever heard

This is a cover of the song of the same name by Metro. Look it up! :)
I know! It was an album made in 1976 I do have (too)
Covers usually have the same name as the og song.
o.o genial!!
with lead guitar Stevie Ray Vaughan (Stevie Ray Vaughn)
