Ziggy Stardust

written by David Bowie & Mick Ranson

Now Ziggy played guitar,
Jamming good with Weird and Gilly,
And the Spiders From Mars,
He played it left hand,
But made it too far,
Became the special man,
Then we were Ziggy's band.

Ziggy really sang screwed up eyes,
And screwed down hairdo,
Like some cat from Japan,
He could lick them by smiling,
He could leave them to hang,
They came on so loaded man,
Well hung and snow white tan.

So where were the Spiders?
While the rest tried to break our balls,
Just the beer light to guide us,
So we bitched about his fans,
Should we crush his sweet hands?

Ziggy played for time,
Jiving us that we were Voodoo,
The kids were just crass,
He was the nazz with God-given ass,
He took it all too far,
But boy could he play guitar?

Making love with his Ego,
Ziggy sucked up into his mind,
Like a Leper Messiah,
When the kids had killed the man,
I had to break up the band.

Now Ziggy played guitar!
