Lyrics
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing (sighing)
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in (cry in)
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying (dying)
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying (lying)
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
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
I never thought I'd need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the Black hadn't have pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes 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 race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

No sh*t Sherlock! This came to me as I was preparing a late dinner after one of the most magical miraculous days of my entire life (& I'm 63, so that's saying something). The perfect gift at the perfect time. So hauntingly beautiful, I am crying as plate the enchiladas, rice & black beans. My soul is aching & slow dancing, my heart is in my throat -- how will I eat? This song could be sustenance enough. Be well, stranger.

Dreamy rendition. I have fond memories of doing lights for The Junkies at a place called The Westward Club in Calgary back in the late 80s.

Heard this morning on CBC and was impressed with the Cowboy Junkies take on this Bowie classic. The imagery in the accompanying video is excellent as well, and particularly timely.

This new one from Cowboy Junkies takes on David Bowie's "Five Years". Kind of makes sense with global warming, the pandemic, and perhaps a world war. I can't be sure but at about the 1:30 mark that crosswalk looks like Dundas Square in Toronto. That's about a 3-minute walk from Trinity Church which was the recording location of the band's breakthrough album. Can anyone confirm?
