Repetition ChangesNowBowie Version by David Bowie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you w
When you ask him how the kids are
[Verse 2]
He'll get home around seven
'Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right
[Refrain]
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
[Verse 3]
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
(Don't hit her)
Can't you even cook?
What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?
[Verse 4]
Well, Johnny is a man and he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
[Refrain]
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
[Outro]
It shows through
It shows through
It shows through
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
That shows through
Well, Johnny is a man
And he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you w
When you ask him how the kids are
[Verse 2]
He'll get home around seven
'Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could have had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right
[Refrain]
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
[Verse 3]
And the food is on the table
But the food is cold
(Don't hit her)
Can't you even cook?
What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?
[Verse 4]
Well, Johnny is a man and he's bigger than her
I guess the bruises won't show
If she wears long sleeves
But the space in her eyes shows through
[Refrain]
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
[Outro]
It shows through
It shows through
It shows through
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
That shows through
