"I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done

I catch the paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try...

There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lyin' in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern love
Walks beside me
Modern love
Walks on by
Modern love
Gets me to the
Church on time

Church on time
Terrifies me
Church on time
Makes me party
Church on time
Puts my trust in
God and man

God and man
No confessions
God and man
No religion
God and man
Don't believe in
Modern love...."


This song is Thing of the Day for many reasons. One, it is so 80's it kills me. Look at those outfits! Amazing. And the saxophone solo is GOD. Do not deny it! It's been stuck in my head for the better part of 3 weeks. This song comes on the same album as China Girl and Under Pressure and Let's Dance, come on!!


If you don't like some David Bowie, something might be fundamentally wrong with you. Check with your parents, were you perhaps dropped on your head or abducted by insane aliens (because, you should know, Bowie WAS an alien. Ziggy Stardust, hello!).


David Bowie is idol to many, and for good reason. Not even mentioning his many crazy outfits and styles, make-up, odd album covers, and of course, the different colored EYES. Nearly everything he has done has changed something in the music industry, from almost acoustic Space Oddity to flamboyant Ziggy to minimalist Low with Brian Eno to R&B Young Americans to poppy Let's Dance to electronica Earthling to creepily hypnotic Heathen. What genre HASN'T Bowie delved into??


Plus, he was the freakin' GOBLIN KING. Complete with blue-streaked mullet and huge collared-trench coat. Yes. Watch Labyrinth.
