The Daily Bowie #19 - "Golden Years"

The Daily Bowie #19 - "Golden Years"

This is one of my favourite David Bowie songs, a love that really kicked in when I first saw him perform it during the SERIOUS MOONLIGHT TOUR.

"Run for the shadows, run for the shadows

Run for the shadows in these golden years"

FROM WIKIPEDIA (see link below): Bowie allegedly got drunk to perform the song for the American TV show Soul Train (see video on this page); at the time he was one of the few white artists to appear on the program. The resultant video clip was used to promote the single, and assisted Bowie's continued commercial success in the United States, where it charted for 16 weeks and reached No. 10 in early-1976. It achieved No. 8 in the UK.
"Golden Years" was played sporadically by Bowie on the 1976 tour, if at all, but regularly on the 1983, 1990 and 2000 tours. It appears on the 1983 concert film Serious Moonlight.

"GOLDEN YEARS"

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel

Come get up my baby

Look at that sky, life's begun

Nights are warm and the days are young

Come get up my baby

There's my baby, lost that's all

Once I'm begging you save her little soul

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Come get up my baby

Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel

Come get up my baby

In walked luck and you looked in time

Never look back, walk tall, act fine

Come get up my baby

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years

Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Come get up my baby

Some of these days, and it won't be long

Gonna drive back down where you once belonged

In the back of a dream car twenty foot long

Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart

Doing all right, but you gotta get smart

Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh Lord

I believe all the way

Come get up my baby

Run for the shadows, run for the shadows

Run for the shadows in these golden years

There's my baby, lost that's all

Once I'm begging you save her little soul

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Come get up my baby

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel

Come get up my baby

Run for the shadows, run for the shadows

Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years

Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Golden years, gold whop whop whop
