Gunman
David Bowie · Other Songs - David Bowie
You're all of us now, you're all over town
An wrappers and cans, you're bigger then life
You're braver than dad
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, never alone
Gunamn, leader of packs, shadow of death
Killer in chic, never betrayed, friend of our kids
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunamn, never alone
Gunman . . . gunman . . . trader in arms
Kids on the street, buying your charms
Gunman, my sort of star, we put you there
You're all of us now, you're all over town
On wrappers and cans, you're bigger than life
You're braver than dad
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, you're never alone
Gunman . . . gunamn
Gunman, my sort of star, we're bleeding for you, we put you there
What would you give, your all of us now, we're burning for you
You're all over our town, gunman, you're on rappers and cans
You're bigger than life and we're dying for you and
you're braver than dad, gunman. . .
You're woman are dogs
But they're braver than you
We're bleeding for you
What would you give
We're burning for you, gunman
We invented you, now we've gotta live with you, you're more solid
Than a rock, a rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death
Like a rock of death, like a gravestone, gunman. . .
About Gunman
David Bowie's "Gunman" stands as a stark, atmospheric track from his 1971 album *Hunky Dory*, capturing the tension of the Cold War era through its driving rhythm and brooding vocals. The song reflects Bowie's signature ability to blend theatricality with social commentary, exploring themes of paranoia and the blurred lines between hero and villain. With its distinctive production and Bowie's falsetto delivery, the recording exemplifies the glam rock and art rock influences that defined his early career. As a key component of his discography, "Gunman" remains a compelling study of psychological unease, showcasing the artist's evolution beyond his earlier pop hits into more complex, narrative-driven compositions that would later influence generations of musicians.
