        《The Man Who Sold The World》
             这首歌收录于 David 引起轰动的1971年第三张专辑《The Man Who Sold The World》，专辑封面上David梳着长长的卷发，黑色长靴，丝缎长裙，胸口低开，只用两枚褡扣系住。这个美丽而在当时看来惊世骇俗的造型开创了真正的Glam摇滚的时代。一个花花公子的浅吟低唱，带着点玩世不恭，一点物质，一点讽刺，一点慵懒与诱惑，模糊了性别。音乐相对那个时代是复杂的，正处在音乐从早期披头士似的情歌中变质，并开始热中于各种音响实验的阶段，那些歌曲中经常充斥着一些不和谐与突兀。
        歌词：
        We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
        Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
        Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
        I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
        Oh no, not me
        I never lost control
        You're face to face
        With The Man Who Sold The World
        I laughed and shook hishand, and made my way back home
        I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
        I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
        We must have died along, a long long time ago
        Who knows? not me
        We never lost control
        You're face to face
        With the Man who Sold the World

        David Bowie 和舞韵合唱团主唱 Annie Lennox 联袂经典之作，女声细腻高亢，男声低沉洪亮，二者搭配再辅之以乐器伴奏，旋律激荡在你我胸怀，久久不散。David的歌声和精神是留给这个世界的最好礼物。
        歌词：
        m ba ba de
        Um bum ba de
        Um bu bu bum da de
        Pressure pushing down on me
        Pressing down on you no man ask for
        Under pressure - that burns a building down
        Splits a family in two
        Puts people on streets
        Um ba ba be
        Um ba ba be
        De day da
        Ee day da - that's o.k.
        It's the terror of knowing
        What this world is about
        Watching some good friends
        Screaming 'Let me out'
        Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
        Pressure on people - people on streets
        Day day de mm hm
        Da da da ba ba
        O.k.
        Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
        These are the days it never rains but it pours
        Ee do ba be
        Ee da ba ba ba
        Um bo bo
        Be lap
        People on streets - ee da de da de
        People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
        It's the terror of knowing
        What this world is about
        Watching some good friends
        Screaming 'Let me out'
        Pray tomorrow - gets me higher high high
        Pressure on people - people on streets
        Turned away from it all like a blind man
        Sat on a fence but it don't work
        Keep coming up with love
        but it's so slashed and torn
        Why - why - why ?
        Love love love love love
        Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
        Can't we give ourselves one more chance
        Why can't we give love that one more chance
        Why can't we give love give love give love give love
        give love give love give love give love give love
        'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
        And love dares you to care for
        The people on the edge of the light
        And love dares you to change our way of
        Caring about ourselves
        This is our last dance
        This is our last dance
        This is ourselves
        Under pressure
        Under pressure
        Pressure
