| David Bowie – Be My Wife Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think this song's a bit of a piss take. Have you seen some of his facial expressions in the video? He's not serious. He's taking the piss out of the ideal of marriage. He and Angie tried to be open and laid back but the ideal was not so. He appears to be wearing his, or a, wedding band. Like the ones he and Angie exchanged instead of wedding rings. I think he is writing from the point of view of a lonely man, who thinks the ideal of marriage is for him. But in doing that, sort of mocking him for thinking so? But there is no denying that the lyrics do hold an element of truth. Perhaps he thinks himself to be the lonely man? I'm not sure. But I do think he is not 100% serious. | |
