Lady Stardust (Bonus) Lyrics

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay

CHORUS
  And he was alright, the band was altogether
  And he was alright, his song went on forever
  And he was awful nice
  Really quite out of sight
  And he sang all night long

The femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their point of view
And I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay

CHORUS

Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

CHORUS

La, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. La, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, do, do, do, do, doooo

Allegedly originally recorded as 'He Was Alright (Song for Marc)'. The lyric 'laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace', was a reference to David's friend, Marc Bolan. Amongst other recordings, this can be found on the Forgotten Songs Of David Robert Jones, Rare And Well Done and The '69 Tapes.
