Artist/Band: David Bowie
Lyrics for Song: Rubber Band
Lyrics for Album: Deram Anthology 1966-68



Rubber Band
There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand

Rubber Band
In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes

Dear Rubber Band, you're playing my tune out of tune, oh

Rubber Band
Won't you play a haunting theme again to me
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon

Oh, play that theme

Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, I'd find my love

Rubber Band,
In the '14-'18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now she's married to the leader of the band, oh

(spoken)
Oh sob... I hope you break your baton


Rubber Band

David Bowie's "Rubber Band" stands as a pivotal track from his early career, originally recorded for the Deram Anthology 1966-68 compilation. Released in 1967, the song exemplifies the psychedelic rock and art pop influences that would define his subsequent work. With its distinctive guitar work and innovative vocal delivery, the recording captures the experimental spirit of the late 1960s. While often overshadowed by later hits like "Space Oddity" or "Heroes," this track remains a significant piece in Bowie's discography, showcasing his ability to blend pop sensibilities with avant-garde experimentation. It serves as an important document of his evolution from a glam rock performer to a more complex artistic figure.
