Truth
Goldie feat. David Bowie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Truth
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture
If a kiss could cry for you
Honest truth
Then set in stone for you
Love me true
I'll set alight in me, fire
Truth
In fire, truth
Would you lie to me lately? Truth
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Oh, I'd die to love if I choose
Ever true
If I could change my ways
Maybe I would
But there's a blinding
Vision too
And lie to me
Kiss the sky for me
And maybe I should
Or should I cry for you?
One day
One way
If a kiss could cry for you
Honest truth
Then set in stone for you
Oh, love me true
I'll set alight in me, fire
Truth
But I'd die to know
Yeah, I'd die to know
Would you lie to me lately? Truth
Would you die for me maybe? Truth
All these bizarre colors of my world
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture
Tomorrow for you to know
That sorrow hides in sculpture

Wow. Been a huge fan of bowie and goldie for years. Never knew they had a song together. And yes I've heard it before. Dang.
@april1969simnel
I knew I'd heard singing like this from someone else before, especially with the low notes, and I finally figured it out; it's Scott Walker. Bowie was a HUGE fan of Walker's.
@Reprodestruxion
April Simnel maybe those descents and the light phrasing’s. Scott got more atonal as time went
@april1969simnel
It is, but in his "Scott Walker" voice, which I hadn't realized before I wrote that comment. I should have written it more clearly.
@QuicksandSound
@DurexDurpaneu2 Sadly, they never did.
