Red Sails Lyrics

Lyric discussion by FatWhiteDuke 

Cover art for Red Sails lyrics by David Bowie

Nah, nuff of this everything is about homesexuality ffs. its about the Soviet invasion of eastern and central Europe. The album is 'Lodger' a temporary stay, and Bowie has already dealt with travel etc, so this adds another dimension to the album. Sailor cant dance like you - Russian Dancing Bear! The graffiti on the wall, which wall? The Berlin Wall.............'Action boy' - Soldier, its directly addressing the inflated might that propelled the Soviet Union, and as we know, once of the places he detested. An issue he failed to address on Heroes. Hinterland is the land far far away beyind the edge of the country.

@FatWhiteDuke eh wrote Boys Keep Swinging in the same album so I wouldn't be surprised
