Memory Of A Free Festival - David Bowie
MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL from Space Oddity
INTRO:
The Children o
f the summer's
end
Gathered in th
e dampened gra
ss
We played Our
songs and felt
the London sk
y
Resting on our
hands it was
God's land
It was ragged
and naive it w
as Heaven
Touch, We touc
hed the very s
oul
Of holding eac
h and every li
fe
We claimed the
very source o
f joy ran thro
ugh
It didn't, but
it seemed tha
t way
I kissed a lot
of people tha
t day
Oh, to capture
just one drop
Of all the ecs
tasy that swep
t that afterno
on
To paint that
love upon a wh
ite balloon
And fly it fro
m the toppest
top of all the
tops
That man has p
ushed beyond h
is brain
Satori must be
something jus
t the same
We scanned the
skies with ra
inbow eyes
And saw machin
es of every sh
ape and size
We talked with
tall Venusian
s passing thro
ugh
And Peter trie
d to climb abo
ard
But the Captai
n shook his he
ad
And away they
soared
Climbing throu
gh the ivory v
ibrant cloud
Someone passed
some bliss am
ong the crowd
And We walked
back to the ro
ad, unchained
WEIRD BIT
The sun machin
e is coming do
wn, and we're
gonna have a p
arty, ah ah ah
The sun machin
e is coming do
wn, and we're
gonna have a p
arty, ah ah ah
The sun machin
e is coming do
wn, and we're
gonna have a p
arty, ah ah ah
The sun machin
e is coming do
wn, and we're
gonna have a p
arty, ah ah ah
Repeat until fade out...
