I happen to have personal knowledge of this song (Like most Bowie songs) The other interpretations are elegaic and poesy on the whole but specious. Are you really saying you don\'t know what it\'s about?!\nObviously 22 because in 2013 Marianne (Garvey) had been in his life that time from age 9. She is alleging she\'s afraid of my potential and ability to take back Bowie (OK I wasn\'t with him in truth but the possibility existed) so she has been goading the lunatic men i.e. the mental illness system to persecute me. This is reality and as tragic as it gets after approx 20 hellish stays in acute wards being bullied and victimised. The rest of the time in the community I\'ve been subject to CTO\'s at her behest so under chemical oppression and harm. Very occasionally have I been able to get free invariably resulting in another compulsory detention. \'They\'re like the grave\'. Well that\'s pretty clear. Yes what has she done? All romance between myself and David up in flames!!\nWhen he talks of a new life with maids and a new country ( actually that\'s a pun _axe sent) he\'s talking of life after me when she and he are able to start again presumably when the system have done their worst to me. I do think it funny how creative and playful you all are in not revealing the bald facts when you\'re fully cognizant. It\'s obvious what he\'s telling you if you watch tv or trawl the internet.
