Artist/Band: David Bowie
Lyrics for Song: Rubber Band
Lyrics for Album: David Bowie



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 quintessential example of his early glam rock era, characterized by its driving rhythm and theatrical energy. Released on his self-titled debut album, the track showcases Bowie's signature vocal delivery and his ability to blend pop sensibilities with rock instrumentation. The song reflects the vibrant, experimental spirit of the mid-1960s London music scene that heavily influenced his subsequent career. As a key component of his early discography, it demonstrates the foundational elements of his artistic identity before he evolved into more complex and diverse musical landscapes. The recording captures a moment where Bowie was establishing his unique voice within the broader context of British rock and roll.
