David Bowie - The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell Lyrics

I love Bowie

The Pretty Things should've made a response to this diss track

Lends context to the Dark Star album

Somehow harks back to the Scary Monsters era IMHO

A Master Piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone please write a petition to make whoever can release the music video to this song, to release it.

my fave post berlin era Bowie album...imo!!
օʍɨӄʀօռ: ȶɦɛ ռօʍǟɖ ֆօʊʟ!!!

Nice words and nice guitar. Miss the late 90s. You could kid yourself then.

This song is a mess !! It totally loses focus and structure as some Bowie songs sometimes do ,.. and it's a bummer ,..because at the core,..this was a hit song , there's some great parts in it ,..

Who would have thought it, David Bowie taking Collective Souls sound and using it in his song.

Oh Hell yeah!!!❤
goddamn! Too much brilliance for my tiny brain to absorb!

Fabulous drum fill at 0:58

the thin white Duke never goes old

Bowie really struggled in the 90s, this album generally just sounds like fairly average grade alt-rock for the time.
Outside was the only real spark of true creativity he had in that decade, tremendous album, although not even that one was well considered by critics (but it's held in higher consideration now as a misunderstood piece). It's a testament to his talent and his ability to gather great musicians together that even his more uninspired work is still relatively decent even though it feels forced.
He definitely found himself in the 2000s again however, and Blackstar might well be one of his greatest albums in his entire career.

Just the eponymous track on Blackstar is a journey in itself, a musical tour de force. Genius

and last one...

1971: Oh! You Pretty Things
1999: The Pretty things Are Going To Hell

196? Tibetan book of the dead

The cover is brilliant. The album's songs made for an uneven group and this is one of the best. It's on my personal db fav 100 list. And he is dead. And he is dead.

What's eternal... what's damned

this proves he was better than ever in his later career. Reeves gabrels Bowie's best guitar player ever. rest in peace you crazy beautiful genius.😥

Not really. Mick Ronson blows Gabrels out of the water imo.

@Michael Fraser different .. not better IMHO

so what else has Reeves done that I can explore please ?

@Ade Fegan other than the Tin Machine stuff & 90s Bowie, he had a solo album in 98 (ft the talents of Bowie, Black Francis, Robert Smith, Mark Plati & more), recorded some songs with Doom Dogs, released another mid 00s record called Rocktonica & is currently touring with the Cure

Umm I was in a good mood and halfway through this song I paused it to check a notification and then I was in a grrrr aghrrrr mood . I played this song after I paused it and it fits just perfectly.😤💞

I am a drug, I am a dragon
I am your best jazz you ever seen
I am the dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secrets I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I find you out before you grow old

so don't too young and pretty

I guess that's what they get for driving their mamas and papas insane...

I would like to shake your hand. well played.

Great song. It was really freaky how this song was used in the movie "The Fat Girl' but, then again, that WHOLE movie was fkd up.

you mean Fat Girl? That messed up French movie?

Yeah, although, technically, that isn't even the actual title". The original title translates as "For My Sister". The movie is very disturbing but I think Catherine Breillat is pretty brilliant.

+Dan Cooper Also the movie Stigmata

+Dan Cooper I don't know any of her other work, so I don't know... I've seen a lot of questionable movies, but Fat Girl definitely stands out in the WTF? and Why?? categories.

the movie is an amazing portrait to me of the frivolousness and cruelty of adolescent sexuality,the loneliness of being a social outcast and sibling rivalry. the movie is very shocking but the shock is not without purpose, unlike a lot of trash "extreme cinema" that's made ONLY to shock. what impresses me about her directing is the incredible vividness, the sense of reality a lot of her films have. There certainly aren't very many American filmmakers and definitely no mainstream ones that can create an experience that actually makes you forget youre watching a movie because it feels so real.I can understand why someone would hate this movie, though. It's definitely a fucked up film.

Good song, but it goes on too long.

Steven Stark um, no ...

Respect your opinion,but I have to desagree.

I been the Dragon.

I love this cd but the video game it was a part of, was difficult.

bratgoddess, you mean Omicron? That game was pretty cool though agreed it got tough.

stigmata rain: watch?v=grni4X6IaJ8

stigmata

Is there anything that Bowie cannot do? This guy is fuckin' awesome. I fuckin' love David Bowie.

I feel exactly the same way, Keifer.
