Ziggy Stardust (John Peel Session)

Ooh, yeah

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly

And the Spiders From Mars

Well, he played it left hand, but made it too far

Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Like some cat from Japan

He could kill 'em by smiling, he could leave 'em to hang

He came on so loaded, man, well-hung and snow-white tan

So where were the spiders

While the fly tried to break our balls?

Just the beer light to guide us

So we bitched about his fans

And should we crush his sweet hands?

Now Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo

The kids were just crass, he was the nazz

With God-given ass, but he took it all too far

But boy, could he play guitar

Making love with his ego

Ziggy sucked up into his mind (Ah)

Like a leper messiah

When the kids had killed the man

I had to break up the band

Oh yeah

Oh

Ziggy played guitar
