Janine Lyrics

Cover art for Janine lyrics by David Bowie

I love this song, because I believe it's talking about a man who is very attracted to a woman, but knows that he isn't showing her the whole truth. She wants to know him inside, but he's worried that if she truly gets inside his head, she will be pushed away (I've got things inside my head that even I can't face.) So, he tries to keep their relationship at a bit of a distance. I also love the line, "So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere."
