David Bowie - Kooks Lyrics

This song has such 'fun auntie & uncle' energy

4 years today 💔 I love you ❤️

Bowie channeling Paul McCartney..

Thank You : )

It's one of the prettiest songs David Bowie has

been a bowie fan since I was 4 yrs old now 55 & still love his timeless classics

Just found look out my girlfriend is pregnant. I hope my ex wife isn't too venemous about it when I tell her! Lol

Will you stay in our lovers' story?
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

We bought a lot of things
To keep you warm and dry
And a funny old crib
On which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow
And a book of rules
On what to say to people
When they pick on you
'Cause if you stay with us
You're gonna be pretty kooky, too

Will you stay in our lovers' story?
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up
This old fool
Don't pick fights
With the bullies or the cads
'Cause I'm not much cop
At punching other people's dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Will you stay in our lovers' story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow so take a chance
With a couple of kooks
Hung up on romancing

Watching Edward Norton interview, I have never heard of this song until he mentioned it.

What on Joe Rogan? What did he say?

This song was dedicated to my brother when he was born it’s so lovely 😊

Would you put on dispatch - the general?

Easily my favourite song about an artist singing to their kid

Soon to be born kid.. the one and only duncan jones 😀

The Bowie's "Cry Baby Cry"???

So so cool !.

My husband would sing this to our son when he was born- 22 years later we're even kookier.

Your husband is one of the coolest person ever to be singing that song to your son.

You wish.

Apparently David dashed of this little classic soon after his son was born and threw it on the album,and boy we're sure glad he did,at least I am lol

can't believe that this was written for the guy who directed fucking WARCRAFT

Adored it back then aged 16, adore now at 62

John C same here

im currently 16 and its one of my favorite bowie songs

Wonder if Bowie wrote this for his son, Duncan? Lovely sentiments.

Tedisntakidanymore He did. :)

In surfing terms and I guess in the context of this song in parenting terms Kook means hear noob - like any of us are with our first borns 🤓

Zowie Bowie

Yes he did 💜

Absolutely love this song 🌹

Ronnie B

an awesome love story with teenage sexuality references?? :/

not a love story, its a song about his son

'Cause we believe in you.

Beautiful love story!

What is this song about?

This song is about his son and it’s so sweet and I can relate because my family are a couple of koooks

A couple of kooks

David Bowie in the 1971, write and dedicate this song for the son, Duncan Bowie ,Born in the 1971. Now Duncan Bowie its a good filmaker! Source Code , its a beautiful movie! You have See this movie? Whatch this movie. Sorry for my terrible English I am italian :)

David Bowie showing up on some guy's doorstep to give him a black eye because the guy's kid beat up his son... just fancy! He'd get completely thrashed 😑
