Kids today don't understand the chill words can create. Nothing paints a picture better than a well written lyric. And this song is a constant chill. Damn I miss this stuff.

Most underrated song of all time

I don't know why but I just started listening to David Bowie and I'm pretty sad I didn't before

I love his disturbing poetry. Only his voice can carry it.

Another of Bowie's countless brilliant songs which are not known to the broader audience

I bought this album when it came out for $4.99. I saw him in February 1976 at the forum in Montreal when I was 15. It blew me away. He opened with Station to Station he came out of the mist on the stage , the thin white Duke with his flash of blond/orange hair and white shirt ,black pants and vest smoking a Gaulliose. Beautiful imagery. Diamond Dogs was always my favourite but I loved them all. But I love you in your F-me pumps. Classic David.

this song blew me away in 74 and it still does.

Best song by Bowie, he really pushes his voice here. True masterpiece.

A true Bowie classic IMHO With some of his most cynical lyrics. "Defecating ecstasy". It doesn't get more bitter than this.

Saw bowie live 10 times.Utter genius.

No one truly appreciates a genius until he is gone.

I was scanning back through all my Bowie tracks over mutiple decades and this is #1. Farewell mon brave. Your silence competes with hell.

Shout out to Mike Garson who plays this nice dreamy electric piano line weaving throughout Bowie's vocal.

Bowie's walk on the razor between Art & Fame... The vice between Ethics & Temptation... this is one of bowie's deepest works. It rivals the Man who Sold the World.

The unofficial musical to Orwell's "1984" that became Diamond Dogs....

This is the soundtrack of the world and mankind. officially from 2016 to its very ending.

Thanks for including the words. Amplifies the power of the song.

Nothing short of a masterpiece.

These lyrics were created right from a God's mind.

Not only was this album and tour probably his most theatrical, even his voice was theatrical on this song. He really pulled out the stops on each and every line. So powerful!!

I loved bowie from 13 years ove age. I'm 60 and woke up 4 years ago now all his songs have meaning he was telling us beautiful soul

True genius..amazing, he took on Winston's character from 1984 ❤

*david Bowie has great voice but also the sounds he use in his songs mind blown*

I think, if there's ever another Nineteen Eighty-Four movie Diamond Dogs MUST be the album used for the soundtrack!

I purchased this back in 74. I'd since forgotten how good it was/is. I believe Bowie's voice peaked in it's power and control from Aladdin Sane through to Station to Station. Ironically those were his cocaine years.

Listening to Bowie evokes every memory from my childhood. First everything. Enough said… it truly saddens me that he is no longer here in reality but spirit alone will have to do.

Been a Bowie fanatic since ‘73, this has always been my favorite. Exquisite!

Fantastic song from a fantastic album by a fantastic artist

So far ahead for the time this was released absolute legend mr Bowie

Bowie. The best

This is one of my absolute favourite's 💙⚡

I ve cried so much on this song

Gorgeous.

I’m a big Bowie fan from way back and that’s the first time I’ve ever heard that song.

This song is so great omg thank you for uploading this especially with lyrics.

Who would Say that he would be that star man waiting in the sky

On hearing this I'm instantly transported back in time To another place

Astonishingly bleak, desolate and powerful. Not sure I will be able to listen to this song again.

Una perla rara....molto bella! Grazie per il video....love Bowie forever

Wow. Every once in a while auto play strikes gold. I wore out Changes and most of everything after that but I had never heard this. It made me feel like I was hearing new genius Bowie all over again😍.

Great job, Diana. Love this song as most of Bowie's catalog.

Say "we are the dead" 3 times in front of a mirror in a dark room and a thin white duke comes and stands behind you.

Happy journey Starman.😂

great book

Thanks So much!

Hauntingly atmospheric. It takes me back to the times of Peter Cushing and hammer horror

May 2020 Big Brother has us on lockdown,contact is prohibited

We are the Dead- the choruses are chants, not rants. i love this song!

This song is a major track off Diamond Dogs so gooood!!!!

just wow so amazing

Bowie really made that and didnt get a nobel prize wow

Superb

The 2 lovers ..of the Novel..... realizing they are doomed if they keep meeting.

Big George Orwell 1984 vibes

It's the theater of financiers Count them, fifty 'round a table White and dressed to kill

its hit us today 🙈

que temon!!!!!!!

Covid brought me here!

totally agree with bill taylor but here s something to get you going - read mockingbird by walter tevis - no this is not a wind up - he s the guy who wrote man who fell to earth - i love this book - it s in my my top 10 along with the master and the margerita - count them 15 round the table white and pressed to kill - because of all we ve seen - it has the same gravitas as paradise lost

Ballad of strongmen .... with a hang-over. thx: Doc Savage

Happy birthdwy, my prince

Intense

sounds sooo clears, i discovered one feet or something noise in the studio sound at the end.

Top 20 , I would say, it is hard to choose, but Top 20 ......

It's a wonder he got away with the f word with the censor back then. I thought it was funky pumps for ages until I could get to read the lyrics. One of Bowie's darkest songs.

True

Bowies Diamond dogs tour suffered when rhis song was omitted

This and Future Legend, side 1. Who knew ?

1984

Sweet thing mad men

1984 anyone?

I sing this out loud when I get stuck behind old hits in the supermarkets I swear they will die in frront of me and I will have to wait for them to be bagged and tagged.

Have you listened to the Canidate demo its really great and should have been on the album

this is just different bruh genius shit

This whole album is an occult working, as was Station To Station, and peppered with obvious references.

You are just an alley of the legion. Not leecher.

Imagine hearing this from someone else, not in a form of a song and you going ah? Well I do see myself. Ok ok English is not my first language.

I don´t know why but I always assumed this song was inspired by the 1st records by Alice Cooper´s band ( " Love it to Death " ; " Killer " etc " ) .

F me pumps wow ..

goth 101

This is what 13 year olds in America should be listening to- not cardi b.

where is ronson where is rock ???

Genius song. Bieber could never have done this.

more like 1984 lol

suede made a career out of this song

less advertising would help. force a "cognitive drinking disorder ad" for instance, the ad ver tis ment preceding this lovely DAVID BOWIE tune, harming through social media blasphemer because (!) of what was said....desecrater man the advertiser.

When David gets depressed... it's unique

Preciosa
