💃 Nirvana The Man Who Sold The World Lyrics David Bowie

Oh no, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand And made my way back home I searched for form and land For years and years, I roamed I gazed a gazeless stare We walked a million hills I must have died alone A long, long time ago Who knows? Not me David Bowie Lyrics. "The Man Who Sold The World". We passed upon the stair. We spoke of was and when. Although I wasn't there. He said I was his friend. Which came as some surprise. I spoke into his eyes, "I thought you died alone. A long long time ago". It's an eerie, jarring lyric. One befit of the Halloween season. Terrorizing and horrifying. But what does it mean? Written by David Bowie and made globally famous by Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, It is a Bowie song about meeting the man he used to be (Ziggy Stardust)and seeing how other people saw him, but still convinced he's changed, Bowie saying to Ziggy "I thought you died alone, a long long time ago". "Oh no, not me. We never lost control" is Ziggy saying back, no I'm still here, I'm still in control. Rov9Wh.
