Hello Leon – David Bowie

Hello Leon
Would you like something really… fishy? (fishy)
Hello Leon (Hello Leon)
Would you like something really… fishy? (fishy)
I gave up longing, in Oxford
But the enemy is fragile
The enemy is fragile, oh oh
Who has seen this furious man?
Who will rid me of this shaking head?

Hello Leon
Would you like something really… fishy
It was just a fading photograph
Thrown on the black leather sofa, brass fronted
Forgotten by the last tenant

Who will rid me of this shaking head?
Who has seen this furious man?
The enemy is fragile
But he has no… (has no, has no, has no)
Yes, the enemy is fragile

The enemy is always behind you
And you couldn’t fight him to the death?
But no!
Well, wrap up safe, Leon
And we’ll go dancing!

Something in her mouth
There’s… something in her mouth
Something mysterious, there’s something in her mouth
Between ‘backfire’ and ‘bet it’
I bet it isn’t speech

Samples, take them with us
And stow them
For the greatest wallop-bang
Of the 21st century

Hey, we’ll rip the 21st century
That’s… really conversational
You are… a permutation
You are… a backfire
You are… Chinese poetry
You are… something mysterious
You are… speech is delayed
You are… backfire (bet it)
You are… fighting to the death
You are… flogging
You are… something really fishy
You are… whispering
You are… swarming
