Starman

Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
 I leaned back on my radio
 Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
 Then the loud sound did seem to fade
 Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
 That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
 There's a starman waiting in the sky
 He'd like to come and meet us
 But he thinks he'd blow our minds
 There's a starman waiting in the sky
 He's told us not to blow it
 Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
 He told me -
 Let the children lose it
 Let the children use it
 Let all the children boogie
 I had to phone someone so I picked on you
 Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
 Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two
 Look out your window I can see the light
 If we can sparkle he may land tonight
 Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
 There's a starman waiting in the sky
 He'd like to come and meet us
 But he thinks he'd blow our minds
 There's a starman waiting in the sky
 He's told us not to blow it
 Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
 He told me -
 Let the children lose it
 Let the children use it
 Let all the children boogie
 Starman waiting in the sky
 He'd like to come and meet us
 But he thinks he'd blow our minds
 There's a starman waiting in the sky
 He's told us not to blow it
 Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
 He told me -
 Let the children lose it
 Let the children use it
 Let all the children boogie
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-la (repeat until end)
 Culture Club faithfully covered this David Bowie hit (it reached No.10 in the UK and No.65 in the US in July 1972) on their '98 Re-wind Tour so well that it has become a fixture at Culture Club concerts, got a joint A-Side single with Cold Shoulder and also features on the new album, Don't Mind If I Do.
