David Bowie - Look Back In Anger

Artist: David Bowie.
Song: Look Back In Anger.
Album: Lodger.

Lyrics:

"You know who I am," he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"It's time we should be going"

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Till you come

No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger feel it in my voice
Till you come

(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long)

The drumming is terrific. Dennis Davis, I think. The same guy Bowie recorded and toured with since Station to Station. And Carlos Alomar on guitar. Ditto. Bowie always had the best sidemen.

Underrated Bowie gem. By far one of his best!!

You know who
I am
He said

The speaker
Was an Angel

I love the bit where his voice breaks, and I wait for it! Still this song is too short! Love this one so much!
