All The Madmen<\/a><\/p>\nFor Al, Gerard, Tony and all the rest of the three chord thrashers that remember this absolutely brilliant song \u2018All The Madmen\u2019 from \u2018The Man Who Sold The World\u2019 LP and to those folk who also remember the fanzine and record label, originally based in Yeovil, that was inspired and named after it later on in the decade.\u00a0The record label that released wonderful material by bands like The Mob, The Astronauts, Flowers In The Dustbin\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n
This whole LP\u00a0was recorded in 1970 but released after\u00a0Bowie\u2019s fame went global in 1972 by those nice people at RCA.<\/p>\n
I have not uploaded the whole of this LP due to heavyweight copyright pressure which no doubt to come soon\u2026Don\u2019t blame me if you get a writ Tony\u2026I never saw nuttin\u2019 guv\u2026!<\/p>\n
Day after day
\nThey send my friends away
\nTo mansions cold and grey
\nTo the far side of town
\nWhere the thin men stalk the streets
\nWhile the sane stay underground<\/p>\n
Day after day
\nThey tell me I can go
\nThey tell me I can blow
\nTo the far side of town
\nWhere its pointless to be high
\nCause its such a long way down<\/p>\n
So I tell them that
\nI can fly, I will scream, I will break my arm
\nI will do me harm
\nHere I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall
\nI\u2019m not quite right at all\u2026am I?<\/p>\n
Dont set me free, I\u2019m as heavy as can be
\nJust my librium and me
\nAnd my E.S.T. makes three<\/p>\n
Cause I\u2019d rather stay here
\nWith all the madmen
\nThan perish with the sadmen roaming free
\nAnd I\u2019d rather play here
\nWith all the madmen
\nFor I\u2019m quite content they\u2019re all as sane
\nAs me<\/p>\n
(Where can the horizon lie
\nWhen a nation hides
\nIts organic minds
\nIn a cellar\u2026dark and grim
\nThey must be very dim)<\/p>\n
Day after day
\nThey take some brain away
\nThen turn my face around
\nTo the far side of town
\nAnd tell me that its real
\nThen ask me how I feel<\/p>\n
Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall
\nI\u2019m not quite right at all<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t set me free, I\u2019m as helpless as can be
\nMy libidos split on me
\nGimme some good ole lobotomy<\/p>\n
Cause I\u2019d rather stay here
\nWith all the madmen
\nThan perish with the sadmen
\nRoaming free
\nAnd I\u2019d rather play here
\nWith all the madmen
\nFor I\u2019m quite content
\nThey\u2019re all as sane as me<\/p>\n
