(Bowie)
Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes,
shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're
here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me,
no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though
they're here to stay
CHORUS:
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
(second time: Let me say it again)
You gotta make way
for the Homo Superior
Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
CHORUS
The lyrics OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS of DAVID BOWIE is also present in the album Hunky dory (1971)
David Bowie (pronunciato ['bo?.wi] in inglese), pseudonimo di David Robert Jones (Brixton, 8 gennaio 1947 – New York, 10 gennaio 2016), è stato un cantante, polistrumentista, attore e compositore britannico. Attivo dalla metà degli anni sessanta fino alla sua morte nel 2016, Bowie ha attraversato cinque decenni nella musica rock, reinventando nel tempo il suo stile e la sua immagine attraverso personaggi iconici come Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack e The Thin White Duke (noto in Italia come il Duca Bianco). La sua musica spazia dal folk acustico all'elettronica, passando attraverso il glam rock, il soul e il krautrock, lasciando un'impronta indelebile sulla storia della musica. Bowie ha collaborato con artisti di diverse generazioni, tra cui Iggy Pop, Queen e Nile Rodgers. Oltre alla musica, Bowie si è cimentato anche nell'arte cinematografica, recitando in film come *L'uomo che cadde sulla Terra* (1976), *Furyo* (1983) e *Basquiat* (1996). Tra i suoi album più importanti ricordiamo *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars* (1972), *Station to Station* (1976) e *Heroes* (1977). Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono *Space Oddity*, *Changes*, *Let's Dance* e *Heroes*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
