It’s Not Such a Small Affair

maybe try n read to the tune of Bowies Life on Mars .. or maybe not

It’s Not Such a Small Affair

Looking back it seems hardly fair
That the girl with the mousy hair

Is about to be struck again
As they ask us to focus on
 
Air strikes and bodies in the harbour
Oh’ man
Just look at them cool nukes blow
It’s the freakiest show

Take a look at those dead guys
Huddled in the corner

Oh’ man I wonder if they ever knew
One day they would be famous

Take a look at those bad guys
Shooting up the good guys

Oh’ man
Take a look at those cool Syrian skies
Full of holy grails and vapour trails

Still beating up the wrong guys
With the hem of a torn prayer shawl

No it’s not such a small affair
For the girl with the mousy hair …….

Some of Bowie's tracks make me cry, the more upbeat stuff I'm not fussed. For me he probably had one of the most expressive voices I've ever heard...he could hold a melody without the music...hugs x

Another quality write aired and I hear you Neville loud and clear man.
So poignant in what it has to say of today's daily madness.
And here's to the thin white duke and not forgetting Ziggy.

Bless you Shaun ... I actually saw Bowie three times .. the first time when his alter ego was Ziggy .. it cost me 80 pence to get in .. Crazy innit .. I still have the ticket stub :)
