Lyrics for Song: The Man Who Sold The World
Lyrics for Album: The man who sold the world
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare and all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

The Man Who Sold The World
Released in 1970 on the album *The Man Who Sold The World*, this track stands as a pivotal moment in David Bowie's evolution from glam rock to a more introspective, blues-inflected style. The song features a distinctive arrangement that blends electric guitar with a haunting vocal performance, marking a departure from the theatricality of his earlier work. It explores themes of betrayal and the commodification of identity, resonating deeply with listeners who appreciated its raw emotional core. As a key component of Bowie's discography, the recording helped define his artistic maturity during the early 1970s and remains a significant song in his catalog of influential works. |
