David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust
Picture credit unknown
Woke to the news that a Starman was taken away
Heard him in my Absolute Beginner days
Ziggy Stardust and his Spiders from Mars
How Changes mere made throughout his past
He sang about Modern Love and China Girl
Let’s Dance he said, how we did twirl
Is there Life on Mars he wanted to know?
He would know Born in a UFO
How his Sounds and Visions set the world alight
Not for him a Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide
His Golden Years and Fashion blew all away
This Jean Genie and Aladdin Sane
Oh how the stars looks very different today
As this Space Oddity flies out of human sight this day
Ashes to Ashes we say in Sorrow
Goodbye Blackstar, the man of tomorrow
Rest in Peace David Robert Jones (aka David Bowie)
Born 8th January 1947
