Hope little girl
Come blow me away
I don't care much
I win anyway
Just a dog

I'm goddamn rich
An exploding man
When I talk in the night
There's oil in my hands
Just a dog

Fall dogs are cruel and smart
Smart time breaks your heart
Fall dog bombs the moon
Devil in your marketplace
A devil in your bleeding face
Fall dog bombs the moon
What a dog

There's always a moron
Someone to hate
A corporate tie
A wig and a date
Just a dog

These blackest of years
That have no sound
No shape, no depth
No underground
Just a dog

Fall dog is cruel and smart
Smart time breaks your heart
Fall dog bombs the moon
A devil in your marketplace
A devil in your bleeding face
Fall dog bombs the moon
What a dog

Thank you
Thanks very much

    one of his best from the latest, the sad tone in it and the quietness in his bitter voice makes it a very beautiful song.

    shows just how an anger-inspired Bowie does some fine dam songs too

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
