Hope little girl
Come blow me away
I don't care much
I'll win anyway
Just a dog

I'm God damn rich
An exploding man
When I talk in the night
There's oil on my hands
What a dog

Fall dog is cruel and smart
Smart time breaks the heart
Fall dog bombs the moon

Devil in a market place
Devil in your bleeding face
Fall dog bombs the moon
What a dog

There's always a moron
Someone to hate
A corporate tie
A wig and a date
Just a dog

These blackest of years
That have no sound
No shape, no depth
No underground
What a dog

Fall dog is cruel and smart
Smart time breaks the heart
Fall dog bombs the moon

A devil in a market place
A devil in your bleeding face
Fall dog bombs the moon
What a dog

Fall Dog Bombs the Moon?
Wasn't that a 50s Sci-Fi flick?
Have never heard of this Bowie album.  
Wow - first time hearing this on RP for me. Great tune from his "later" works  - an album that took me time to appreciate, and I came around.
My brother turned me on to this Bowie song.  He has had a weekly show on Tulane's WTUL in NOLA for over 20 years.  If he plays this AND Bill plays it, it must be good.

I guess I have been listening to RP a long time because this post was 18 years ago and I clearly remember "physicsgenius" making a whole bunch of negative remarks about pretty much everything. Visiting RomeoTuna in his hotel room is still on my bucket list!

Saw him in Austin a week ago & it was one of the BEST concerts I have ever seen. Played material from Reality and Heathen as well as stuff going back to Hunky Dory. Had guitarist Earl Slick with him. He did "Under Pressure" with his female bass player and it was purely awesome. He gave a remarkable performance with his voice as pure as ever. The whole band was fantastic. Check him out if you get a chance to see the Reality tour. No one in this town was disappointed in the concert.

I gave this a 3 (Ho-Hum) and that's being a bit generous, I think. This cut is being overplayed on RP. Were it by anyone but Bowie, we would never hear it, here or elsewhere.
Never cared for Bowie too much. This does nothing to impress me either. Ho hum :|
I have really enjoyed this CD! Some really good stuff on here. I have to agree about the price to see him live however! Too dang much, and the real rub was that to get the pre-sale password to get tickets early, you have to be a member of his online fan club, which is like 60 more bucks a year. Ouch.
For me Bowie has one of the greatest voices in the business. "Reality" is a good trip through his musical history, so it is nice to hear him at radio paradise.
Oh! is it worth the $85 to see him? (again).. these last two albums have really been xtra+... but.... well anyways.. rock on bowie!

Talk about service....sure it took 26 hours, but with a Play list as broad as RP, I think this is nice service. Pretty good song too.
please, play this...
