David Bowie Big Brother song lyrics

Don't talk of dust and roses

Or should we powder our noses?

Don't live for last year's capers

Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal

He'll build a glass asylum

With just a hint of mayhem

He'll build a better whirlpool

We'll be living from sin

Then we can really begin

Please saviour, saviour, show us

Hear me, I'm graphically yours

Someone to claim us, someone to follow

Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo

Someone to fool us, someone like you

We want you, Big Brother, Big Brother

I know you think you're awful square

But you made everyone and you've been everywhere

Lord, I'd take an overdose if you knew what's going down

Someone to claim us, someone to follow

Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo

Someone to fool us, someone like you

Someone to claim us, someone to follow

Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo

Someone to fool, someone like you

Someone to claim us, someone to follow

Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo

Someone to fool, someone like you

We want you, Big Brother
