Ziggy Stardust Lyrics - Swing The Heartache: The Bbc Sessions - Bauhaus

Now Ziggy played guitar 

Jamming good with weird and gilly 

And the spiders from Mars 

He played it left hand 

But made it too far 

Became the special man 

Then we were Ziggy's band 

Ziggy really sang 

Screwed up eyes and screwed down hair-do 

Like some cat from Japan 

He could lick 'em by smiling 

He could leave 'em to hang 

Came on so loaded man 

Well hung and snow-white tan 

So where were the spiders 

While the flies tried to break our balls 

Just the beer light to guide us 

So we bitched about his fans 

And should we crush his sweet hands, oh 

Ziggy played for time 

Jiving us that we were voodoo 

But the kids were just crass 

He was the nazz 

With God-given ass 

He took it all too far 

But boy, could he play guitar? 

Making love with his ego 

Ziggy sucked up into his mind 

Like a Leper Messiah 

When the kids had killed the man 

I had to break up the band, oh 

Now Ziggy played guitar
