Sweet Head Lyrics - David Bowie

I tried to break away from you 

From the spics and blacks and the gum you chew 

Where the posters are torn by the muggin' gangs 

By the faggy parks and the burnt out vans 

I've got ninety-nine years of laying in the dark and I'm far too young to lie 

I've got ninety-nine ways to play my guitar it's going to pay me before I die 

So bob your sweet head 

Brother Ziggy going to play 

I'm just about the best you can hear 

Gonna rock it in your head 

Shazam! and come ball 

With my guitar and me soprano 

We can give you sweet head

I'm tough as glass and clean as night 

Well if looks can love we can love all right 

I'm your rubber peacock angelic whore 

I'm a wrought iron face upon the wall 

I had ninety-nine years of murder called life and I'm running away from it all 

I got a bedroom, every mirror in town they're going to claim me if I fall 

So bob your sweet head 

Brother Ziggy going to play 

I'm just about the best you can hear 

Gonna rock it in your head 

Shazam! and come ball 

With my guitar and me soprano 

We can give you sweet head 

Sweet head, give you sweet head 

(spoken: while ya down there) 

See my eyes of blocked emotion, see my tremble, see my fall 

Traumatics thick and fast, your faith in me can last 

Besides I'm known to lay you, one and all 

Photos 

Look south the way your mother dwells 

If she knew what's going down, she'd give you hell 

I'm the kind of man she warned me of 

Till there was rock, you only had god 

You and I have a mutual vow 

We both like young, and we both like loud 

I got pretty shoes, and I'm kid and proud 

I'm street side out with my ear to the crowd 

So bob your sweet head 

Brother Ziggy going to play 

I'm just about the best you can hear 

Gonna rock it in your head 

Shazam! and come ball 

With my guitar and me soprano 

We can give you sweet head 

Move along, sir!
