(Bowie/Gabrels)
Between the dead ring ash
of extreme defence
The lonely groups of company boys
Snapping pictures of scrawny limbs
and toothy grins
These are children riding naked
on their tourist pals
While the hollows that pass for eyes
swell from withdrawal
And he lies on a mattress
in a rat infested room
Talking 'bout his family
and the cold back home
CHORUS
Between the dull cold eyes
and the mind unstable
None over here reads the papers
pal
'tween the dull cold eyes
and the mind unstable
He's a clean trick
and he's shopping for girls
A small black someone jumps over the crazy white guard
Cranking up the volume
of a Michael Jackson song
CHORUS
Where the frangipani scents the air
She mouths a word
that breaks his stare
He grunts his reply
in a garrulous croak
That's a mighty big word
for a nine year old
CHORUS
Shopping for girls, shopping for girls
You gaze down into her eyes for a million miles
You wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll
The lyrics SHOPPING FOR GIRLS of DAVID BOWIE is also present in the album Tin machine ii (1991)
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
