Found this

[ByeByeBye 1,756]

From their 3rd album around 1990.  Very tight harmony, twinkling acoustic guitar sound, and a catchy tune.

 

[ByeByeBye 1,756]

Diaraby is a traditional West African tune.  I originally became familiar with it when Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Touré did a great rendition of it on their Talking Timbuktu album.  And, while their version is tremendous, I think I am liking this simpler version better...

 

This may not grab you in the first two seconds you listen to it, but if you listen and relax with it you may find yourself being transported to elswhere...it's really quite good, but takes a bit of time investement.

 

 

If you like this type of music (I find it very relaxing), Talking Timbuktu is  a great album and is on YouTube FREE!

Lyrics

 

 

 

[Verse 1]

I didn’t mean to hurt you when I hurt myself

It’s just an empty lie screaming out for help No,

I didn’t mean to scare you

But I couldn’t see that when I went to hell I was taking you with me

 

[Chorus]

When I close my eyes I’m climbing in the dark

Trying not to fall apart

Sometimes I get so high

Falling is the only out I see

And I don’t wanna take you down with me [?]

Take you down, take you down with me [?]

(Take you down, take you down, take you down)

Down with me

[Verse 2]

This life is like a razor

When it cuts I bleed

But it's in my hand And I'm doing it to me

Sometimes it's like an ocean

And it gets too deep

There's no way that now

You could rescue me

[Chorus]

When I close my eyes

I’m fighting in the dark

Trying not to break your heart

Sometimes I get so high Falling is the only out I see

And I don’t wanna take you down with me

[bridge]

You need to let it go now

Before you drown I know that you won't understand

You need to let go of these hands

Cause I'm going now

And I don't wanna take you down with me

[Outro]

And I don't wanna take you down with me

Take you down, down with me

Great song...great artist...he is missed.

 

With a myriad of lyric interpretations, here is mine (which seems patently obvious to me...but, art and all...)

 

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen

Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah

In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all

Your eyes

 

In the house of Men, there is a single life/flame in the center of everything/universe (ah-ah ooooo) and that is you seeing through your eyes.

 

As a kid I called this phenomenon "looking out through your eyes".  Now I just call it "perspective", or central-perspective. I refer to it many times in my writing.

 

In the spolier is a poem from TS Elliot that I think Bowie was refering to with the crucified scarecrows.  The super famous lines from this poem are:

 

This is the way the world ends,

Not with a bang but a whimper.

 

The Hollow Men - T. S. Eliot

 

 

Mistah Kurtz - he dead.

 

A penny for the Old Guy

 

I

We are the hollow men

We are the stuffed men

Leaning together

Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!

Our dried voices, when

We whisper together

Are quiet and meaningless

As wind in dry grass

Or rats' feet over broken glass

In our dry cellar

 

Shape without form, shade without colour,

Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

 

Those who have crossed

With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom

Remember us—if at all—not as lost

Violent souls, but only

As the hollow men

The stuffed men.

 

II

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams

In death's dream kingdom

These do not appear:

There, the eyes are

Sunlight on a broken column

There, is a tree swinging

And voices are

In the wind's singing

More distant and more solemn

Than a fading star.

 

Let me be no nearer

In death's dream kingdom

Let me also wear

Such deliberate disguises

Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves

In a field

Behaving as the wind behaves

No nearer—

 

Not that final meeting

In the twilight kingdom

 

III

This is the dead land

This is cactus land

Here the stone images

Are raised, here they receive

The supplication of a dead man's hand

Under the twinkle of a fading star.

 

Is it like this

In death's other kingdom

Waking alone

At the hour when we are

Trembling with tenderness

Lips that would kiss

Form prayers to broken stone.

 

IV

The eyes are not here

There are no eyes here

In this valley of dying stars

In this hollow valley

This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

 

In this last of meeting places

We grope together

And avoid speech

Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

 

Sightless, unless

The eyes reappear

As the perpetual star

Multifoliate rose

Of death's twilight kingdom

The hope only

Of empty men.

 

V

Here we go round the prickly pear

Prickly pear prickly pear

Here we go round the prickly pear

At five o'clock in the morning.

 

Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

 

Between the conception

And the creation

Between the emotion

And the response

Falls the Shadow

Life is very long

 

Between the desire

And the spasm

Between the potency

And the existence

Between the essence

And the descent

Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

 

For Thine is

Life is

For Thine is the

 

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

Not with a bang but a whimper.
