David Bowie - Love Is Lost

Artist: David Bowie.
Song: Love Is Lost.
Album: The Next Day.

Lyrics:

It's the darkest hour, you're twenty two
The voice of youth, the hour of dread
The darkest hour and your voice is new
Love is lost, lost is love

Your country's new
Your friends are new
Your house and even your eyes are new
Your maid is new and your accent too
But your fear is as old as the world

Say goodbye to the thrills of life
Where love was good, no love was bad
Wave goodbye to the life without pain
Say hello
You're a beautiful girl

Say hello to the lunatic men
Tell them your secrets
They're like the grave
Oh, what have you done?
Oh, what have you done?
Love is lost, lost is love

You know so much, it's making you cry
You refuse to talk but you think like mad
You've cut out your soul and the face of thought
Oh, what have you done?
Oh, what have you done?

Oh, what have you done?
Oh, what have you done?

A proper david bowie song absolutely marvellous

[MARSBELLA]

Its a great album but its hella depressing. This Organ Chord - I am convinced he knew he had cancer for this album - he refers to Hermione to often (Norway) - of course he is an eternal optimist, people like him are - I bet the thought he would win. But this an incredibly difficult album to deal with. Its like driving home after being told you have a very high chance dying of cancer you ve just been told you have. ''Wave goodbye to life without pain'' this is his most underated album.

such a dark undertone going through the whole album, though it really shines through here! excellent track as per the usual.

after 10 years of listening this album I can t figure out why THE NEXT DAY is so underrated
