She'd walk through the door and she'd set up the drinks
on the house
She played a good game of darts, and the men slapped
her back
And never took her out
She wore a trenchcoat khaki
Her hobnail boots were full of holes
She's got medals
Her mother called her Mary, she changed her name to Tommy,
she's a one, oh
She went and joined the army, passed the medical
Don't ask me how it's done
They sent her to the front line
Fighting for her country's name
She's got medals
She got very tired of picking up girls
Cleaning her gun and shaving her curls
Then the enemy dropped a bomb
Survivors there were none
People say that when the moon is full and all the stars have gone to bed
You can see her ghost but that's a lie because the naughty woman isn't dead
She deserted on the previous morning
Replaced her uniform with dresses silk and green
Called herself Eileen
Came to London town
Now she's settled down
She's got medals

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*.
