Bowie wrote Drive in Saturday on a train somewhere between Seattle and Phoenix whilst touring in the U.S. He was scared of flying at this time so always took trains and ships. Bowie reportedly looked out at a bleak landscape in the moonlight and saw enormous silver domes which inspired him to write. He saw a world after a nuclear catastrophe where the radiation had affected people’s minds and they had to learn to make love again by watching it in films. Bowie's abstract song writing at it's best.
