Shihad - Boys Keep Swinging Lyrics






Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

    Love Kenny as the very straight laced, up tight guy, who hs the kinky side. He clearly had a good eye for human nature.

  6. s.... l....

    Nothing quite as rock and roll as David Bowie singing with nail polish and a cigarette...

  7. M.... H....

    Great performance by bowie and mad Kenney at his best!.....classic!

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

    so funny with the violin smashing lol I miss his drag persona's though he looks better in a dress than I do

  9. A.... W....

    Oh this is beautiful. Loved seeing the skit at the end, still makes me laugh. Kenny you are missed.

    Duncan is Nacho. J’en suis convaincu.

  18. b.... k....

    Thanks for sharing, ..the LODGER Album is one of my favorits,never saw this Clip well done Nacho...

  19. C.... T....

    I remember I had this on the soundtrack for that Christiana F or whatever it was called. A German movie about teen age drug addicts. I fist saw Bowie on Saturday night live as a kid, then soon after saw that album in a record store. It seemed like a documentary photo essay on the album cover. Was an excellent album. Also, they showed Kenny Everett Video Show on late night local tv for a short time where I grew up. Around the same time period. I thought he was so funny. They'd show it right after Benny Hill. Good performance, thanks.

  20. S.... T....

    This was published and filmed on my Birthday

  21. t.... ....

    40years.

  22. t.... ....

  23. O.... H....

    This was on my birthday long before I was born

  24. R.... N....

    Kreisch.

  25. J.... s....

    Lodger deemed a poor relative to “Low” and “Hero’s” but had some great tracks on it and this got to number 7

  26. M.... ....

    I always assumed that this version sounded different for no other reason than the fact that it's a TV performance.

  27. n.... t....

  28. m.... b....

    IVE BEEN WAITING

  42. a.... r....

    Bowie is so damn cute!!! I just want to hold him like a little baby,lol!! 😘😘😘😘😘🧡🧡🧡🧡

  43. J.... ....

    Awesome - just very sad to see his killer between his fingers

    J.... ....

    Bowie didn't die of lung cancer, he had liver cancer! There's so much ignorance about his death...

    J.... ....

    @TSMG Smoking increases your risk of many different cancers, including liver cancer. The risk of liver cancer is increased further if you smoke and drink a lot of alcohol. The risk might also be higher in smokers who have hepatitis B or C infection. 20 out of 100 cases of liver cancer in the UK are caused by smoking.

  44. P.... M....

    The electronic keyboard sounds new. The guitar at the end still sounds like Carlos Alomar, a different take, or probably, I presume, the whole part is from a single take of instead of all of the 3 passes or so they edited together for the album version. Nice restoration job.

    P.... M....

    Unless I'm mistaken Adrian Belew was the major lead guitarist for the Lodger album. When u listen to the incredible guitar on Red Sails it is trademark Belew there. This guitar piece here is different to the one on record and original video. This guitar break is very Belew. Hope that is a little helpful info.

    P.... M....

    My sincere apologies I've had a second listen and u are right. It's not wild enough to be Adrian. I'm very embarrassed sorry

    P.... M....

    @Danny Miles Actually I think you are right and I have made the mistake. I should have written Belew, not Alomar. His solos could have gotten more wild with each pass. He explained he had to do the 3 passes without knowing the song so seemed to have learned it as he went along which would explain why the first one is probably more safe than the other two. This could easily be the first pass. The info under the YT clip states it was a special mix ahead of the single release. I wonder if the edit of the 3 passes together happened after this one was thrown together for the TV promo...The producer and Bowie always said the finished mix wasn't very good as it was rushed, to meet a deadline I presume. The pieces are fitting together. I reckon it is Belew. Like you I am a fan of his work with Bowie by the way. I love his playing on the Stage version of STS. It has always been the definitive version for me. Take care friend :-)

    P.... M....

    @Peter Mateer thanks for that. Yes the guitar here is not near the record which is Adrian for sure. Yes on the Stage album that STS is an iconic piece by Adrian which I have loved since I first saw him live in 78. I have tried to find more of Belew's live work and the best I've found is from 1990. That's where Bowie decided to have Belew up front with him and the rest of the band at the back. The Sound and Vision tour I think. Belew does a stunning and beautiful intro to Stay. It's in Lisbon 1990. There's also another amazing STD intro in Australia live in 1978. I think it's Adelaide 78 . Also bits and pieces when he joined those masters Talking Heads

  45. S.... F....

    40 anos!

  46. 2.... ....

    I might like this version better than the original. It’s a lot tighter sounding. Of course, the idea for the album version was that it would *not* sound that way!

  47. M.... H....

    I absolutely love it
    Great job as usual, Nacho
    Thank you!

    Gigantesque, Sublime,Génial,
    Monsieur DAVID BOWIE

  51. i.... ....

    Excellent video, Nacho.

  52. A.... S....

    As always THANX A MILLION for all these great videos of Bowie History! Love this version and one of my many, many, many favorites Bowie Songs! ....Its fans like you that do these great things with Bowie Video's for us other fans that will always keep Him alive in our minds eye and ears! ....And just a note seeing the cigarette in His hands reminds Me of back in the days when it was cool to smoke, And in a lot of His interviews etc. ....He always had one in His hand, ....From what I read I think He was a 3 pack a day kinda guy! ....But just like Bowie did I also quit smoking cigarettes, ....Although it just took Me longer to figure out the negative parts of smoking cigarettes that is! LOL!

  53. S.... S....

    BRILLIANT BOWIE..!! ★

    Great! Thank you!

  57. M.... L....

    BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL

  58. m.... ....

    Thank you so much making it look and sound so good, Nacho! Bowie's just 😍 here. Kenny Everett's show was syndicated to a local station in my town for a few years when I was a girl, but not this episode! I definitely would've remembered Angry of Mayfair. The last bit wouldn't have aired *at all* in the US back then.

  59. L.... G....

    Three years and still miss him, and counting.

    L.... G....

    I like to think that i meet him in an elevator and we become good friends, sorry for my bad English :/

    L.... G....

    @Cristian Tramontina
    It's ok, I don't speak english either. I like to think he was my friend too n.n

  60. O.... ....

    Lovely performance, thanks Nacho!

  61. T.... ....

    I just saw this saw this for the first time the other day... absolute gold! Superlative performance from Bowie and that skit at the end is priceless!
