Five years david bowie cover — Placebo

G Бас- G F#m

pushing through the market square

so many mothers sighing

news had just come over, we have

Five years left of crying

news guy wept and told us

he said earth, was really dying

cried so much his face was wet

then i knew, he was not lying

i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies

there were boys toys, electric guns and TVs

my brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

i had to cram so many things to store everything in there

and all the fat, skinny people

and all the tall short, people

and all the nobody people

and all the somebody people

never thought i'd need, so many people

girl my age went off her head

hit some tiny children

and if the black hadn't have pulled her off

then i think, she would have killed them

soldier with a broken arm

used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac

cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest

and a queer threw up at the sight of that, well

think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour

drinking milkshakes cold and long

smiling and waving and looking so fine

don't think you knew you were in this song

and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor

and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there

your face, your waist, the way that you talk

i miss you you're beautiful

we got five years stuck on my eyes

five years, what a surprise, we got

five years, my brain hurts alot

five years, that's all we got

we got, five years
