Baby, I've been, breaking glass in your room again
Listen

Don't look at the carpet, I drew something awful on it

You're such a wonderful person
But you got problems oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll never touch you

I used to play Low in the motor club when I was in the Raf in 1981. There were complaints about my "weird" music. Mainstream numpties..

Landmark, iconic production. The return of one of the few legitimate music geniuses.
When I would play this repeatedly after its release, my college roommate used to yell at me, "TURN THAT SHIT OFF!"

He's apologized repeatedly for his mistake, and agrees with me that this was an extraordinarily important record. 

 
yep, I think it's in his top 5, I love this album

I knew from the voice it was Bowie but thought: "Did Zappa write this for him?"

Nice to hear this song. But I know an other version (from Sound & Vision) of this song I like more.

Yes, I would very much like to hear this again and again!  Delve deeper into any Bowie album for that matter, his music is so cool

I liked it. At low volume and in a noisy room, thought it may have been 10cc.
