Lyric discussion by bowiefanxiii 

Cover art for Sell Me a Coat lyrics by David Bowie

I agree with davidbowiefan1. It makes a lot more sense than just brushing off a girl's death because it was a little fling. I mean really ThornBirds! If you're attatched to a person in any way, no matter if it was just a fling or not, could you seriously conscienciously just forget about them when they died suddenly? Are you for real?
