David Bowie - Uncle Arthur (Deram Anthology 1966-68)
Strikes the bell for 5 o'clock, Uncle Arthur closes shop
Screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up
Climbs across his bike and he's away
Cycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high street
Back to mother, it's another empty day
Uncle Arthur likes his mommy
Uncle Arthur still reads comics
Uncle Arthur follows Batman
Round and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from Mum
On his 32nd birthday, told her that he'd found a chum
Mother cried and raved and yelled and fussed
Arthur left her no illusion, brought the girl round, save confusion
Sally was the real thing, not just lust
Uncle Arthur vanished quickly
Uncle Arthur and his new bride
Uncle Arthur follows Sally
Round and round goes Arthur's head, hasn't eaten well for days
Little Sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a maze
Uncle Arthur packed his bags and fled
Back to mother, all's forgiven, serving in the family shop
He gets his pocket money, he's well fed
Uncle Arthur past the gasworks
Uncle Arthur past the river
Uncle Arthur down the high street
Uncle Arthur follows mother
David Bowie Uncle Arthur (Rare) (02:11)
This song is a very early Bowie Song from I think 1967. I believe it's his first album. It seems to
be almost non existant on CD, even thoug I did find it. First post of it on You Tube. Audio only
with a few pictures though it's nothing we haven't seen before. Please enjoy.

This song is really the story of my life!!! I heard it a lot when I was 0-5 years. Extremely visionary stuff. Bowie is an extraordinary genius of the most supreme imagination. A rare type of prophet.

I know I'm the only one, but I think his first album was the best.
