Seven Lyrics
I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
as we layed upon your bed
A city full of flowers
a city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I don't regret anything at all
I remember how he wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
Hold my face before you
still my trembling heart
Seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
The Gods forgot they've made me
so I forgot them to
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves
My heart is never broken
my patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
as we layed upon your bed
a city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
I forgot what he said
I don't regret anything at all
I remember how he wept
I was small enough to cry
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
still my trembling heart
Seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
so I forgot them to
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves
my patience never tried
I got seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
or seven ways to die

God I love this song!! I used to have a live recording of it, which was sooo beautiful... (hmm I should try and find that again) I love Bowie so much, I don't want to oversell this but Seven is just a gem!
(hmm perhaps not the most useful response but hey, if it gets someone to listen to this song.. :p)
Great song! David Bowie looks great, I hadn't realised how old he was, he looks fab!
