David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics






We passed upon the stair,
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there,
He said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone,
A long-long time ago

Oh, no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand,
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land,
For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone,
A long-long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

    Curt Cobain has stolen David Bowies "The Man who sold the World"
    Bowies Original is still much better than Cobain's Version.

    M.... P....

    He didn't. At the end of the cover, he said "This is a David Bowie song." Kurt didn't steal anything, simply did a cover.

    M.... P....

    Dude making a Cover isn't stealing are you dumb?

  20. F.... Q....

    U que cucs esta bacana

    The Man who sold the World is written and composed by David Bowie, our real Starman.

  23. G.... S....

    like si viniste por Nirvana

  24. A.... M....

    Kurt Cobain version >>>>>>>>>>>

  25. A.... M....

    Cobain wish he wrote this song

  26. A.... k....

    The Man who sold the world ⚡ David Ziggy Stardust Bowie super icon

  27. M.... P....

    be honest you feel like you did sell the world while listening to this song

  28. T.... H....

    Why did I just realize that this song wasn’t made by Kurt Cobain?

  29. l.... l....

    RIP David 💝❤💝❤💝❤💝❤💝❤💝❤

  30. A.... T....

    Suriner...are you the Joker himself ? LOL...in fact, when Bowie started again to sing it live (cause it was not one of HIS hits), people came to congratulate him for his cover of Nirvana...Then he sometimes presented it as a Nivana's cover...This man had more sense of humour than most people here...thanks, man

  31. �.... �....

    и "пепел к пеплу"-не-за -буду!

  32. y.... H....

    Кобейн сделал эту песню нетленкой..

  33. D.... L....

    Solid Snake defeated Sahalanthropous to this song.

  34. S.... C....

    *m e m e s c h o o l*

  35. I.... R....

    One of the Very, VERY rare occasion that the cover surpassed the original..

  36. T.... N....

    2.8k have bad taste in music

  37. W.... I....

    This is the Masterful Original which surpasses all covers.

  38. G.... G....

    Ziggy, using his Martian time-travel technology, heard the highest selling unplugged album ever and took this song and recorded back in 1970. Coming full circle Nirvana sang this live and gave due credit to Ziggy's alias, Mr David Bowie.

  39. S.... ....

    Wow👏🏻😍

  40. K.... L....

    Thank you Bowie, seriously.

  41. s.... l....

    Imagine Dio stand being the man who sold [T h e W o r l d]

  43. M.... N....

    Great Song ever thanks

  44. d.... ....

    Looking for Nirvana's version on Napster I encountered the Bowie
    original. Rarely I prefer the second version I hear (original or not)
    but Bowie can't be outdone apparently.

  45. B.... P....

    David was inspired by Syd. So many of you can not even conceive

  46. L.... J....

    Nirvana did it better

  47. E.... P....

    I like this version but I prefer the midge Ure version

  48. P.... C....

    Siggy Stardust.☺

  49. K.... ....

    Nice cover.

    K.... ....

    does cover mean original in your bowiectionary?

  50. P.... V....

    Bowie=70s
    Midge Ure=80s
    Cobain=90s
    MGS 10s

  51. �.... �....

    FRİNGE <3

  52. G.... O....

    🤣🤣🤣

  53. N.... D....

    Why does Nirvana's cover have so much more views? The original is way better

    N.... D....

    I know right? Huge Nirvana fan but David Bowie's version just screams iconic.

    N.... D....

    Because taste is different dude deal with it

  54. p.... ....

    FRINGE...

  55. -.... O....

    İts 2019 If you listening this :
    You sold the world

    -.... O....

    - Omerus - what does this even mean

    -.... O....

    Some will understand

    -.... O....

    It is now 2020, the world will dance another day.

    -.... O....

    Its Übermensch

  56. S.... C....

    Me asusta pero me gusta

  57. E.... J....

    Cobain did it better. That's my opinion.

  58. T.... S....

    Understand, Nirvana/Cobain honored Bowie by playing this song. No comparison necessary.

  59. T.... ....

    The instrumental reminds me of True Detective's intro

    T.... ....

    because the same instruments composing that

  60. B.... L....

    Nirvana did it better sorry not sorry.

  61. B.... ....

    I know it’s disrespectful, but I prefer Nirvana’s cover more. It sounds more emotional and expresses the true meaning of the song. This sounds like they wanted to include all popular sound tones of the 70’s in 1 song

  62. A.... A....

    Gay son of a whore

    A.... A....

    Meaning yourself?

    Who knows? It's not me. We never lost control.

  70. B.... M....

    Bravo 6, going dark

  71. E.... N....

    It’s stupid that this has less likes than nirvana’s version

    E.... N....

    Fuck you you idiot!!!!!

    E.... N....

    Just because is the original doesnt make it better by default...just tastes

  72. K.... ....

    i personally liked nirvana's version but this sounds dope as well

  73. T.... ....

    Yeah you were actually there david bowie you dumb shit

  74. M.... S....

    I hate that the Nirvana version shows up on google before this. The original is infinitely better

    N.... ....

    aguante nirvana gato

    N.... ....

    That's just your opinion.

  87. O.... ....

    I love classic music, but I love Nirvana's rendition way better. The vocals on this sound terrible to me to be honest.

  88. H.... B....

    this song lives on

  89. O.... ....
