Cover art for Five Years lyrics by David Bowie

God,I love this song there is not much left to say that hasn't been said but since i don't think anyone said this but to me it seems the We've got five years,What a surprise line says that he was sort of expecting this and wasn't surprised.

I also love the mental images of the girl hitting the children and being pulled of by the black guy,The soldier with the broken arm and the girl just drinking milkshakes and in my mind just taking it all in.

For some reason the line with the priest,cop and gay is rather beautiful in a horrible way that i personally can see happening

My Interpretation
