Les paroles de la chanson
« Ashes to ashes »
David Bowie

Do you remember a guy that’s been
In such an early song?
I’ve heard a rumour from Ground Control,
Oh no, don’t say it’s true.

They got a message from the Action Man :
"I’m happy, hope you’re happy too.
I’ve loved all I’ve needed love
Sordid details following".

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain’t got no money and I ain’t got no hair
But I’m hoping to kick but the planet it’s glowing.

{Refrain:}
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky,
We know Major Tom’s a junkie
Strung out in heaven’s high
Hitting an all-time low.

Time and again I tell myself
I’ll stay clean tonight,
But the little green wheels are following me,
Oh no, not again.
I’m stuck with a valuable friend :
"I’m happy, hope you’re happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol.

I never done good things,
I never done bad things,
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh.
Want an axe to break the ice,
Wanna come down right now

{au Refrain}

{x3:}
My mother said to get things done
You’d better not mess with Major Tom
