David Bowie - Watch That Man [2023 Remaster]

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
There was an old fashioned band of married men
Looking up to me for encouragement, it was so-so
Ladies looked bad but the music was sad
No one took their eyes off Lorraine
She shimmied and she strolled like a Chicago moll
Her feathers looked better and better, it was so-so
Yeah, I began to unfreeze
When the Revеrend Alabaster danced on his knees
Yеah, so it wasn't a game
Cracking all the mirrors in shame

{Chorus}
Watch that man
Oh, honey, watch that man
Talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man
Oh, honey, watch that man
Walks like a jerk but he's only taking care of the room
Know he must be in tune

{Post-Chorus}
Yeah

{Verse 2}
Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So Shakey hung him up to dry
The pundits were joking, manholes were smoking
Every bottle battled with the reason why
Girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
A throwback to someone's LP
Lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding
Yeah, I was shaking like a leaf
'Cause I couldn't understand the conversation
Yeah, so I ran to the street
Looking for information

{Chorus}
Watch that man
Oh, honey, watch that man
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man
Oh, honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk but he's only taking care of the room
Well, he must be in tune
Oh yeah

{Outro}
Watch that man, ha
(Watch that man) Watch that man, ha
(Watch that man)
Watch that man
(Watch that man)
Watch that man
(Watch that man)
Watch that man
(Watch that man)
Watch that man
(Watch that man)
(Watch that man) Watch that man
(Watch that man)
Watch that man

Biography

edit bio

David Bowie, born David Robert Jones in 1947, was a British musician who became one of the most iconic rock stars in history. Known for his ever-changing appearance and musical style, Bowie's career spanned several decades and resulted in an acclaimed discography that rivaled the likes of The Beatles and Bob Dylan.

Bowie's early career was marked by a series of missteps, but he rose to prominence with the release of his most famous song, "Space Oddity," which coincided with the Apollo 11 moon landing. Despite this breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure until he introduced the character Ziggy Stardust in 1972, solidifying his place in the public consciousness.

Throughout his career, Bowie continued to experiment with new musical directions and personas, including collaborations with artists like Brian Eno and Tony Visconti. His "Berlin Trilogy" of albums, recorded in the late 1970s, remains some of his most critically acclaimed work.

In the 1980s, Bowie experienced a period of critical apathy, but he staged a comeback in the 1990s with albums like "1. Outside," "Earthling," and "Heathen." After a period of relative silence, Bowie surprised fans with the release of "The Next Day" in 2013, which was met with critical acclaim.

Tragically, David Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016, just two days after his 69th birthday and the release of his final album, "Blackstar." Throughout his career, Bowie's influence on music and culture was immense, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest musicians of all time.
