David Bowie - How Does The Grass Grow

Artist: David Bowie.
Song: How Does The Grass Grow.
Album: The Next Day.
Lyrics:
There's a graveyard by the station
Where the girls wear nylon skirts and
Sandals from Hungary
The boys ride their Riga 1's
Upon the little hill
Such sadness and grief
The trees die standing
That's where we made our trysts
And struggled with our guns
Would you still love me
If the clocks could go backwards
The girls would fill with blood and
The grass would be green again
Remember the dead
They were so great
Some of them
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood
But I lived a blind life
A white face in prison
But you made a life out of nothing
Now I ride my black horse
I miss you more
Than you'll ever ever know
Waiting with my red eyes
And my stone heart
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood
Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood
I gaze in defeat
At the stars in the night
The light in my life burnt away
There will be no tomorrow
Then you sigh in your sleep
And meaning returns with the day
Where do the boys lie
Mud mud mud
How does the grass grow
Blood blood blood

this album is nothing short of his best work.

[@CB-xr1eg]

This is his 2nd best work, Black Star is his best.

@@CB-xr1eg fair enough, could see myself agreeing with that honestly 👍

It’s amazing the creative burst he went through at the end of his life, facing death in the face.
I’m a massive Bowie fan.. and I truly adore this track. I think it’s such an underrated gem. It’s got a cool groove.. awesome musicianship, great vocal. Love it.

The way he felt about how things would come to an end quite showed and shone through this album. Was going to say it's impressive how he managed to put out wonderful music like this after receiving the news, but honestly... It's David Bowie, every obstacle in his way was a tiny hill he always LEAPED over. Despite his talent, i guess the second thing we should admire most is how he never gave up and kept running
