All the young dudes - Bowie Bowie Bowie

Now billy rapped all night bout his suicide
Kick it in the head when he was 25
All that speed jive
Dont wanna stay alive when youre 25

Lucys stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddys got zits from picking off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Oh the television man is crazy
Saying were juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh man I need tv when I got t. rex
Brother you guessed
Im a dude yeah

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

Now jimmy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule
Its a real mean team
We can love
Oh yes, we can love
Brothers back at home
With his beatles and his stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
It was such a drag
Too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine
And Im feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
Brother you guessed
Well Im a dude yeah

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

David Bowie


Sempre achei esta canção uma das mais "Beatleanas" de Bowie. Esta expressão, presumo não existir. Mas espelha bem a sua devoção ao quarteto de Liverpool. Sobretudo a sonoridade de Lennon nos Beatles. Esta letra está repleta de refências, até uma pequena alusão ao "Feeling Fine" de Lennon.
David Bowie foi um dos melhores escritores de canções pop (anglo-saxónicas) do século XX. E sobre isso não haverá muitas dúvidas.
