HORNS BLARE:

David!

I've got a telex here for Tony from Jerry. I don't know if you've seen it at all.

I'd like to see it.

- It's a very long involved one.

- All right. OK.

I'll read it...

It's all in code.

I didn't know we did business in code.

Can't understand a word of this.

My mother saw her first spaceship in that.

- What did you say to me? - My mother saw her

first spaceship. - Really? - She says, yeah.

- Angie!

- Darling, I came to say good luck.

- Oh, you look beautiful, darling. I love that.

- Merci.

- So anyway, are you all right?

- Yeah.

- There's an awful lot of Rolls-Royces out there, darling.

- Really?

- Limousines. Incidents occurring.

- Oh!

Tony loved it, he made the driver go by slowly.

- Just people... Being surrounded and recognised and fans going nuts.

- What people?

I don't know. I just saw the Rolls-Royces lined up. It's fabulous!

Ah, you guys, you look very nice and I just came to say hello.

- Bon, je reviendrai.

- Who did your make-up?

- I did. - Did you? - Why? -

Interesting. - It is interesting.

- It's the best one you've done if I may say so.

- It's cos I'm watching you, you see. I'm learning from you.

Do you like the lines around the lips?

No, I don't like and she knows that.

But I like the idea of the blue lines with the pink lipstick. That's quite good.

- You see how they pick on me and make me feel terrible?

- You're a girl. What do you know about make-up?

Exactly! That's what I say all the time(!)

Make-up for a night out on the town, with the boys.

Go on, star! Go on.

All right. I'll see you later. Bye-bye.

"Ziggy Stardust"

# Ooh, yeah-ah

# Ah

# Now Ziggy played guitar jamming good with Weird and Gilly

# And The Spiders from Mars He played it left hand

# But he made it too far Became the special man then we were Ziggy's band

# Ziggy really sang, screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo like some cat from Japan

# He could kill 'em by smiling He could leave 'em to hang

# Came on so loaded man, white skin and snow white tan

# So where were the Spiders?

# While the fly tried to break our balls

# Just the beer light to guide us

# So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

# Oh yeah

# Ziggy played for time jiving us that we were voodoo

# The kids were just crass he was the nazz

# With God-given ass

# But he took it all too far but boy could he play guitar

# Making love with his ego, oh yeah

# Ziggy sucked up into his mind Ah!

# Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man

# I had to break up the band

# Oh yeah

# Ooooooo

# Ooooooo

# Now Ziggy played...

#..guita-a-r-r-r! #

SCREAMING:

INTRO:
"Watch That Man"

# 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

# The ladies looked bad but the music was sad

# No-one took their eyes off Lorraine She shimmered and the strolled like a Chicago moll

# Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so

# Yeah! I began to unfreeze When the Reverend Alabaster danced on his knees

# Yeah! Slam! So it wasn't a game Cracking all the mirrors in shame

# 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

# Walks like a jerk But he's only taking care of the room

# Though he must be in tune

# Yeah

# A Benny Goodman fan painted holes in his hands

# So Shakey hung him up to dry The pundits were jokin' the manholes were smokin'

# And every bottle battled with the reason why

# The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone

# A throwback from someone's LP A lemon in a bag played the Tiger Rag

# And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

# Yeah! I was shakin' like a leaf because I couldn't understand the conversation

# Yeah! So I ran through the street looking for information

# 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!

# Watch that man

# Ha!

# Watch that man Ha!

# Oooooh! Watch that man

# Ooooh-hoo-hoo! Watch that man

# Ooooh-hoo-hoo! Watch that man

# Oh yeah! Ooooh-hoo-hoo! Watch that man

- # Do-do-do yeah, do-do-do yeah Do-do-do yeah

- Watch that man

# Watch that man

# Ooooh-hoo-hoo! Watch that...man. #

INTRO:
"Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud"

# Solemn faced the village settles down

# Undetected by the stars

# And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep

# And the last thing on his mind

# Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned 'neath the covered wooden shaft

# Folds the rope into its bag

# Blows his pipe of smoulders

# Blankets smoke into the room

# And the day will end for some

# As the night begins for one

# Staring through the message in his eyes

# Lies the solitary son

# From the mountain called Freecloud Where the eagle dare not fly

# And the patience in his sigh

# Gives no indication For the townsmen to decide

# So the village dreadful yawns

# Pronouncing gross diversion

# As the label for the dog

# Oh "It's the madness in his eyes"

# As he breaks the night to cry

# "It's really me
