The Hours – Ali In The Jungle Lyrics 16 years ago
Yeah, i think this song basically means that you will fall down a lot in life, but you cant stay down. you have to get up if you want to succeed.

I think the allusions are pretty clear. The odds were against these people and they still overcame. Muhumad Ali won the Rumble in the Jungle. Helen Keller and Ludwig Van Beethoven both became successful though they were deaf. Nelson Mendell survived going to prison. And as for the Adams, im pretty sure its Samuel Adams. but its on the Fifa commercial and the official video shows somebody kick a soccerball. Heres the video if you are interested in watching it:

David Bowie – Ashes to Ashes Lyrics 16 years ago
I don't think Major Tom is necessarily a heroine junkie. A junkie can be addicted to anything. I think maybe Major Tom is obsessed with space and leaving earth and its ways behind but at the same time he misses earth. That would explain the lines; I'm happy, hope you're happy too, I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing, Wanna come down right now.

But to say drugs are not included in some way is ridiculous. Even bowie said it was a interpretaion of his own drug battle. But you can interpret a song any way you want. Bowie just did such a good job that you can interpret it as 2 things at the same time.
