Repetition Live at the Elysée Montmartre Paris on 14th October 1999 by David Bowie Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2020

[Intro]
Alright, this is... I think this is one of my favorites, this called "Repletion."

[Verse 1]
Johnny is a man and he's bigger than you
But his overheads are high
And he looks straight through you when you ask him how the kids are
He'll get home around seven
'Cause the Chevy’s real old
And he could've had a Cadillac
If the school had taught him right

[Chorus]
And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

[Verse 2]
Well, 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?
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
[Chorus]
And he could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
He could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
It shows through
Yeah, he could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse
It shows through
It shows through

[Outro]
Give me a guitar
