Rubber Band Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie (Buy David Bowie CDs)
Album: David Bowie

Rubber Band
There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand

Rubber Band
In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes

Dear Rubber Band, you're playing my tune out of tune
oh

Rubber Band
Won't you play a haunting theme again to me
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon

Oh, play that theme

Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, I'd find my love

Rubber Band,
In the '14-'18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now she's married to the leader of the band, oh

Oh yeah... I hope you break your baton

It's funny! Don't know if it's amazing, but anything that's funny is worth my time!

Give Bowie a break, it was in the beginning of his career and it came out in the 60s. It may be a little corny for some people's tastes but it's not vulgar,it's easy to listen to, and all together an creative/cute song.

This is brilliant, simply magnificent. He expresses precisely what he meant.
