Conversation Piece - David Bowie.

When I first heard this song, I didn't know why I liked it.. Took me a bit of personal discovery to understand why I related to it so well..

Lyrics:

I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out what's gnawing at me
Wouldn't think, to look at me,
that I've spent a lot of time in education
It all seems so long ago
I'm a thinker, not a talker
I've no-one to talk to, anyway

I can't see the road
for the rain in my eyes

I live above the grocers store,
owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat
And he jokes about his broken English,
tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation,
I stand without a word to say

I can't see the bridge
for the rain in my eyes
Ahhh-huh, h...uh, huh

And the world is full of life
Full of folk who don't know me
And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the light that shines above the grocer's store
investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor
Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
my voice sticks inside my throat
I'm invisible and dumb,
no-one will recall me

And I can't see the water
through the tears in my ey-y-yes

Nice....what album is that from....last time I listened to Bowie was early 80's....I really liked his "Man who fell to Earth"?...is Bowie an Aspie...huuuummmm?

Great if he was!

This is from his 'Heathen' album, it was a bonus disc.. I loved this song from day one..
