This song was originally titled "borderline" - I don't think Bowie and Iggy
had BPD in mind though.Iggy was in love with an unavailable Vietnamese woman, and the "shhhhh..."
in the lyric was her response while he told her of his feelings.Bowie's interpretation is excellent, but I think Iggy's is the definitive version.
Less pop and more raw.Love this song...epic...

Speaking of Bowie, I think this is pretty good...

I'm ambivalent about David Bowie, but I enjoy the weird ones like Bewlay Bothers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO9JBM1ufA8or the beautifully adolescent brilliant ones full of self pity like Cygnet Committee

That's the first time I've heard it in more than 30 years. These are the lyrics. We were blessed back then with interesting music
Cygnet Committee
I bless you madly,
sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly,
Just in time, at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest
Because it's you
that sets the testSo much has gone
and little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear
The Thinker sits alone growing older
And so bitter"I gave Them life
I gave Them all
They drained my very soul
...dry
I crushed my heart
to ease Their pains
No thought for me remains there
Nothing can They spare
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts
to be free?
Words of strength and care
and sympathy
I opened doors
that would have blocked Their way
I braved Their cause to guide,
for little payI ravaged at my finance just for Those
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me"I bless you madly,
sadly as I tie my shoes
I love you badly, just in time,
at times, I guess
Because of you I need to rest, oh yes
Because it's you
that sets the testSo much has gone
and little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me,
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but OursWe used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill Our needs
Now We are strongAnd the road is coming to its end
Now the damned have no time to make amends
No purse of token fortune stands in Our way
The silent guns of love
will blast the sky
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rageWhere money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers
Sons of dirtInfiltrated business cesspools
Hating through Our sleeves
Yea, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor
on slogans such as'Wish You Could Hear'
'Love Is All We Need'
'Kick Out The Jams'
'Kick Out Your Mother'
'Cut Up Your Friend'
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End'And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe"And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain
It said:
"I believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right"And I open my eyes to look around
And I see a child laid slain
on the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore
Just the shrieks from the old richAnd I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls 'Now'
And I want to Believe
That a light's shining through
SomehowAnd I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh, We Want to LiveWe Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to LiveI Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to LiveI Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to LiveLive
Live
Live
