David Bowie - I Would Be Your Slave Lyrics






Walking in the snowy street
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent park
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else that is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand

I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

I don't sit and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I would give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

  7. J.... s....

    One of his most powerful recent vocal performances.Always felt Bowie started exaggerating his mockney vocal style towards the end but perhaps this was Bowie giving us something else to explore as my daughter once said “how did you get by without the internet” I replied we had “Bowie”

  8. N.... C....

    this song gets me every time I listen to it so beautiful

  9. J.... B....

    This song is so beautiful.

    Just went to the Bowie exhibit at the Brooklyn museum. So sad for the loss of a genius but he left us an amazing legacy. Prayers for Iman and family. Thank you David for everything. You are sorely missed.💔

    D.... G....

    That exhibit was just amazing....just like he was...it's 2019 and yeah I miss that guy a lot....

  23. P.... H....

    Walking in the snowy street
    Let me understand
    Drifting down a silent park
    Stumbling over land
    Open up your heart to me
    Show me who you are
    And I would be your slave

  24. A.... K....

    Amazing art ❤

  25. T.... C....

    A lifetime struggle for him...

  26. R.... ....

    Just yesterday night in Rome, a spectacular violin performer played many songs and one of them was "Is there Life on Mars?", and in the awesome silence of the huge dark hall, we could all feel David's immense music legacy flowing through. We were some thousand in tears.

  27. J.... I....

    Bowie used to kiss on the lips the bassist Gail Ann Dorsey on stage. Maybe this theatrical performance was a hidden message for her, even if he was married to Iman.

    J.... I....

    Jose Ignacio...he's asking god to show himself to him...

    J.... I....

    I thought she was related to Bowie...

  28. K.... B....

    love and miss you but forever in my consciousness and subliminal soul place xxxxxxxxx

  29. T.... ....

    Miss you lots

  30. T.... H....

    "Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave. "

    C.... ....

    There is a similar quote in the film, yes.

    Create Good Music

  49. M.... R....

    Such a beautiful underrated gem of a song.

  50. K.... O....

    This is so powerful. The back story for the whole Heathen album, is heartwrenching, and so special. So much was going on in his life at this point, and it's wonderful that he wrote it down. He shared something very special with us. David Bowie you will always be missed. Thank God for your music, and the time you shared yourself with us.

    K.... O....

    Powerful and full of emotion. His voice was very powerful here. Love the album and this is my favourite track I think. Missing David lots and lots. Hope he's happy wherever he may be.

    K.... O....

    Agree, it took a couple of Listens but this is one of my Fav Bowie Songs

    K.... O....

    Kimberly OShea This album also has a 9/11 feel about it. It makes me want to cry like I did on that terrible day. I doubt anyone forgets where they were when this happened. Personally, it still feels fresh, even though it happened a lifetime ago for some.

    K.... O....

    Which backstory? He denied 9/11 connection.

  51. B.... G....

    IMMENCE

    B.... G....

    Bleck Gilbert IMMENSE*

  52. J.... ....

    Great posture.

  53. M.... T....

    I miss you master. I will miss you forever. No other artist will ever come close to your talent.

  54. S.... R....

    What a wonderful Soul!

    S.... R....

    Special song that comes from a special person.... his voice will linger on.... xxxx

  55. r.... ....

    this song is a riferiment to the movie labyrinth?(from the title)in my Language is "io sarò il tuo schiavo"(i would be your slave)i have got a few movies with him(now i want to see zoolander)my favourite is jareth the goblin king

    r.... ....

  56. J.... J....

    Hearing this while reading ¨All the Madmen¨ is pure sadness :´c

  57. C.... B....

    For some reason this song makes me kinda sad..

  58. L.... J....

    Gracias por subirlo. Amo este tema

  59. S.... ....

    Religion, is that I Love You!

  60. C.... G....

    david was a very spiritual person. reflected in many of his songs. I would listen to him forever .... thanks for all the music dB.

    C.... G....

    Not simple "spiritual". This Song for example is a clear crisis of spirituality

  61. P.... F....

    My heart explodes with love for David Bowie.

    P.... F....

    Mine too! Amazing voice and beautiful man!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    P.... F....

    Paulina Cassidy .... Mine too ❤💕 When he passed away, I got all these condolences from my family & friends (like I was his wife), cuz they know how much I love him. He was what made the world right. And now that he's gone... There's a huge gap. His spirit touches so many & always will. His music & talent to reach every type of person lives on forever.

    P.... F....

    Paulina Cassidy
    Hi Paulina....Bowie is a great artist, whit great sensitivity
    His work is a bubble of fresh air in this World as tumultuous.
    Greetings from México

    P.... F....

    Mine too

  62. S.... A....

    Never another one able to inspe so many.The best all over the centuries.:.(:.(

    S.... A....

    Never, the best of all creatures

  63. �.... �....

    It is so Western and Christian. Because it is always about free will: our main religious concept. Bowie's songs are capable to baphize, never mind all that he said about his agnosticism.

    �.... �....

    I always get the feeling he sold his soul but then bought it back.
    We have to lose ourselves, our sense of self, before we truly find ourselves and understand who we are.
    That is the voyage and I do believe David's "little soul had grown" by the time he came out of the other side.

  64. C.... D....

    This would have been a great centerpoint to a musical he could have done.. love.

  65. S.... O....

    https://m.youtube.com/

  66. S.... C....

    I was there... Thank you

    S.... C....

    When and where was this? You were quite lucky to obtain tickets to this...

  67. B.... B....

    Funny someone who led such a charmed life would think God didnt care about him :'(

    B.... B....

    If this sing was about God, I'd interpret it as his absence as opposed to any preoccupation with his presence or opinion. Bowie described him self as 'almost an atheist'. He was spiritual and knowledgable of several religions but he didn't fully engage with any faith. Tellingly his ashes were scattered according to Buddhist beliefs; they don't subscribe to the existence of God as a tangible being.

    B.... B....

    David McDermott that was a bs rumor

    B.... B....

    Not he never said "almost an atheist"...he said " not quite an atheist"... dont make things up to suit your ideals. He has also said several times he considered himself deeply spiritual.

  68. D.... 1....

    Deus!!! David é fantástico demais...é o ser mais lindo e iluminado do universo.....ainda choro

  69. j.... p....

    He doesn't know what it addresses? The another video has an interpretation. Plus, this was a line from Labyrinth.

    j.... p....

    +jo pipes He knows darn well what it addresses. A search for the Most High God. He's just not willing to say it.

    j.... p....

    Offering to be a 'slave' pretty much tells me he's willing....

    j.... p....

    He almost told us a secret about himself. He didn't like to spell out the interruption of his songs, but he almost did here.

  70. P.... J....

    1.19 - 1.28 showcasing his unequalled stage presence, performance and personality in a nutshell

  71. S.... B....

    He's mesmerising. Miss him lots.

  72. t.... r....

    beautiful~
