Heading out this morning into the Sun
Riding on the diamond waves, little darlin' one
Warm wind caress her
Her lover it seems
Oh, Annie
Dreamboat Annie my little ship of dreams
Going down the city sidewalk alone in the crowd
No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds
Sad faces painted over with those magazine smiles
Heading out to somewhere won't be back for a while.

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it.
MODERN
LOVE
DAVID BOWIE
SONGWRITER: DAVID
BOWIE
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: LET’S DANCE
LABEL: EMI AMERICA
GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL
YEAR: 1983
"Modern Love" is
a song written and recorded by David Bowie. It was the opening track to his
fifteenth studio álbum Let's Dance. It was issued as the third single from the album in 1983.
Bowie claimed the song was
inspired by Little Richard, and it maintains the album's theme of a struggle
between God and man. The line "Get me to the church on time" from the
lyrics is the title of "Get Me to the Church on Time" from My Fair
Lady.
By the time "Modern
Love" was issued and edited as a single, Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour was
underway. The track had become a popular encore on the tour, and Jim Yukich's
video for the song used footage of Bowie and his band performing the song from
concert in Philadelphia on 20 July 1983. A live version, recorded in Montreal on
13 July, was on the B-side.
The single reached No. 2
in the UK, and No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. As well as being a staple of
the tour, it featured in Bowie's set at Live Aid in 1985, and in his subsequent
Glass Spider Tour and Sound+Vision Tour of 1987 and 1990. A re-recording with Tina
Turner was also featured on a Pepsi commercial in 1987.
I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love walks beside me
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time
Church on time terrifies me
Church on time makes me party
Church on time puts my trust in God and man
God and man no confessions
God and man no religion
God and man don't believe in modern love
It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
Still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
I try
Never gonna fall for
Modern love walks beside me
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time
Church on time terrifies me
Church on time makes me party
Church on time puts my trust in God and man
God and man no confessions
God and man no religion
God and man don't believe in modern love
Modern love walks beside me
Modern love walks on by
Modern love gets me to the church on time
Church on time terrifies me
Church on time makes me party
Church on time puts my trust in God and man
God and man no confessions
God and man no religion
God and man don't believe in modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love walks beside me
Modern love walks on by
Modern love walks beside me
Modern love walks on by
Never gonna fall for
Modern love
Modern love.

Víctor
Manuel nace en Mieres, Asturias en el año 1947 en el seno de una familia
trabajadora. Hijo de padre ferroviario y madre comerciante y nieto de un minero
y un asesinado en la guerra civil. Los orígenes de una persona siempre son
importantes, pero para entender la mayoría de canciones de Víctor hay que
remitirse a sus padres y abuelos, y a haber nacido en una zona en la que la
minería es el principal medio de ganarse la vida.
Víctor
Manuel comenzó a componer con 12 años cuando le regalaron una guitarra y se
presentó a varios certámenes musicales de su zona. Y es que Víctor tenía tan
claro que quería dedicarse a la música, que a los 18 años se va a Madrid a
estudiar solfeo y a formarse musicalmente.(...)
Durante
sus inicios, se presentó a varios festivales de música (del Eo, del
Atlántico...)
Pero su
punto de inflexión fue conocer a Augusto Algueró, con quien firmó en 1968 su
primer gran contrato musical con Philips. A partir de ahí, su trayectoria fue in crescendo. Compuso
temas como Paxarinos, o El abuelo Vítor, tema con el que apareció en Televisión
Española dándose a conocer de forma nacional, ya que por aquel entonces era el
único canal que existía. Incluso estuvo a punto de ir a
Eurovisión, pero cantar temas como La planta 14, hizo que se le vetara por
temas políticos.(...)
Las
giras que hizo Víctor a partir de entonces eran sinónimos de llenos absolutos,
fuera sólo o en compañía de Ana Belén, o del gran Pablo Milanés. Con éste último editó uno de los
mejores CDs de duetos de la historia de la canción de autor en España; que es
En blanco y negro. Y el éxito que a día de hoy ha logrado Víctor Manuel viene
de su historia, de luchar desde pequeño por la música y de escribir como se
siente.
Pido la paz y la palabra porque espero y creo
que necesariamente todos vamos a entendernos.
Quiero la paz ahora y la palabra luego
para abarcar el horizonte y el futuro entero.
Sobre fantasmas del pasado nos remontaremos
como una sola fuerza contra el terror y el miedo,
para cambiar la historia para enterrar los muertos,
