This song sets up the whole post-apocalyptic theme of the album perfectly.
I also say that "Ziggy Stardust," "Aladdin Sane" and "Diamond Dogs" form a glam-rock trilogy and the theme kinda' progresses from album to album. "Ziggy" was sort of all about a rock and roll messiah bringing peace and love to the world but being consumed by his own excess in the end. "Aladdin Sane" is sort of Ziggy's evil twin. Like it's risen from the ashes but instead of representing all the wonderful positive stuff about rock it sort of represents all the nasty stuff, the drugs and sex and fury. And then Diamond Dogs is the aftermath. A world completely consumed by such vices. Whoo, such much thinking...
@Bonehead XL I like it! Even though Diamond Dogs to me is a different style, he started using the cut and paste writing and inserted more of a Soul sound. I love how each of his albums evolves from one to the next......they are all connected......bloody genius he was.
