  Subject: MY DEATH by Jaques Brel/David Bowie.

  

  	Ok. Am I crazy or what. There is this song on David Bowie's

  Ziggy Stardust : The Movie (live) called My Death, it is a cover

  of a Jacques Brel song apparently. It is the coolest acoustic song,

  yet I can find it nowhere in netland. I have tried to tab it myself,

  but I am just a beginner and I fear that it is being played in

  some wierd tuning (very minor-gothic sound).

  

  	If you haven't heard this song, check it out, its worth the

  price of the cassette itself. I will include here the lyrics so that

  someone may be inspired to help me out.

  

  			MY DEATH -- David Bowie

  			-----------------------

  

  My Death waits like

  	and older wine

  So confident

  	I'll go his way

  Whistles ahead

  	and the passing time

  

  My Death waits like

  	a beggar blind

  Who sees the world

  	through an unlit mind

  Throw him a dime

  	for the passing time

  

  My Death waits there

  	between your thighs

  Your cool fingers

  	will close my eyes

  Let's pick lilacs for

  	the passing time....

  

  But whatever lies

  	behind the door

  There is nothing much to do

  Angel or Devil

  	I don't care

  For in front of that door

  	there is you

  

  My Death waits there

  	among the flowers

  Where the blackest shadow

  	blackest shadow cowers

  Let's not think about

  	the passing time

  

  My Death waits there

  	in a double bed

  Sailors of oblivion

  	at my head

  So pull up the sheets against

  	the passing time....
