"The Man Who Sold The World"
(originally by David Bowie)
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land [Alt: I searched for foreign land]
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here [Alt 1: We walked a million years]
[Alt 2: With multimillionaires]
[Alt 3: We walked a million hills]
I must have died alone [Alt: I must have died along]
A long, long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

David Bowie ketika ditemuramah oleh Marianne Hobbs berkenaan lagu ini ketika rancangan BBC Radio 1 'ChangesNowBowie' yang disiarkan pada 8 Januari 1997 berkata, "Saya rasa saya menulis lagu ini kerana ada bahagian dalam diri yang masih dicari. Mungkin sekarang saya berasa lebih selesa dengan cara saya menjalani kehidupan ini dan keadaan mental saya (ketawa) dan spiritual saya, apa-apa sahajalah. Mungkin sekarang, saya merasakan satu perpaduan. Lagu ini menjadi contoh bagaimana perasaan kita ketika muda, bila ada bahagian diri yang hilang. Kita akan mencari, keperluan mencari diri yang sebenar" - wikipedia
Nota buku lali : Lagu yang sering berkumandang dalam kepala bila rasa tertekan.....Patutnya ingat al-Quran.. hmmm... iman masih lemah ni...
