Originally slated as track 3 on Tin Machine's second album, this song (titled SHOCK FOR ONE on youtube) was apparently pulled at the last minute and then intended as a b-side.

The bside never eventuated, and the track has remained unreleased ever since.

LISTEN HERE

The video has been cut to add a little bit of eye fodder while listening to this gem.

Well it is very Tin Machine isn;t it! Except the chorus, which admittedly is the only bit I like. I will give it a few more listens

Yes, Maarten posted this first on BWW , Thanks Maarten! :)

Tin Machine producer Tim Palmer has told me that he remembers the song, but cannot remember the name. He remarks "It has been a while. I like it though".

I am waiting on replies from Reeves and Tony.

Three cheers for Maarten.

Now get back to your kiddies and leave us alone.

that i must above all things love myself

Further cements my opinion that Tin Machine II is a too-oft overlooked, underrated and maligned album on the strength of the two Sales tracks. Drop 'Stateside' and 'Sorry', whack this one in there, you've got a ten track album that is certainly Bowie's best since 'Scary'.

God have mercy, you're a hopeless guitar player! You even make ME feel better you son of a bitch!

Love this song. Would have been an excellent song to have on TMII. How on earth did it miss out appearing on either the album or one of the singles? Absolutely crazy.

Is Bowie using his sax to have a "whammy bar guitar duel" with Reevz?

And it's the only good Tin machine song?!!!?? I never cease to be amazed with db.

Bowie definitely lost its pragmatism with TM while wanting to be one of the boys. Funny how he quickly launch the S&V tour to reassert his Godly fame.

Am I the only one who thought this track is utter rubbish? Even "Stateside" is better.

i must say that it sounds like a very minor tm track - most of the stuff on tm2 is much more interesting. they were quite right to pull it.

Wait - is it still possible to change my mind?

On a serious side, tv eye's slightly more elaborate reply pretty much sums it up - the track sounds like a throwaway with very little thought given to it. It would be interesting to know which ones of them wrote it, tho'.

Just like much of Tin Machine's output, it has this tired and uninspired feel to it.

Actually Tin Machine felt much more inspired and full of motivation than his last three albums combined. At least he had a bit of passion about the venture and whilst singing.

It wasn't as bad as I expected, from the comments. It's a "I'd never put it on my mp3 player" song - not good enough to be an "I'd put it on but almost always skip it" track, but not so bad that it's a "I'm embarrassed to be a fan of this man" track, either. It's very Tin Machine.

Name calling is best left to the age of the kiddies that you hunt down on the net and you brag about having sex with. You've spent so long with under-agers that you've forgotten how to behave in the company of adults. Sad and pathetic.

A BDU member has relayed the following:

"Opps. I think that I might be responsible for David not putting that song on the second Tin Machine CD. When David invited me into the studio to listen to the rough mix of the second Tin Machine CD (that was recorded in Sydney) he asked what I thought of each track. I thought this one was a bit weak compared to the rest so I told him to lose it. Reeves agreed so David dropped it from the CD. Sorry about that. It's not a bad track now that I hear it again. That is how I remember it anyway."

I need that person's e-mail address to send them abusive e-mails about oking Stateside.

I would've liked this new track if it was on TM2 (accounting for my youthfulness then) Not so much now though.

It reminds me bizarrely of a track that could've been on the Absolute Beginners OST ... backing vocals like some big suited kid creole types in the 80's.

But see, Stateside has a certain novelty to it. This song is just lame in a really boring sort of way.

Then again, I also really like One Shot. Figure that one out.

(speaking of which, the same guy who uploaded this outtake uploaded the original Tim Palmer mix of One Shot HERE)

Most of my friends are busy bringing up teenagers, not fucking them. Why on earth do you think I would I want to stoop to your scummy predatory ways?

Yes, I have followed a hunt for pest control issues on farmland here in Australia because I dont' believe in shooting animals but that's not the point here. It's just the only point you keep brining up cos you have no other argument against me, other than childish name calling. Now fuck off back to wankerworld where you belong, where they love harbouring paedophiles like you.


my face is finished, my body's gone and i can't help but think,

Childish name calling?
What? you mean you have GOOD teeth?

Childish doesn't even begin to describe the lying that you do.
You seem to be deaf and dumb if you think I am a paedophile -I am not and you gave the link to that truth yourself !



Stay Gold

Oh Ardent, just fuck off back to WankerWorld. You have no friends here and, by attacking a member as respected and as well liked as SLC, you're not making any new ones.

God have mercy, you're a hopeless guitar player! You even make ME feel better you son of a bitch!

The only problem with my teeth is that they're 38 years old and don't have a dick down below, right?



Otherwise, what is your sick obsession with my teeth that you've mentioned 100 times in this thread? You're so obsessed you can see them again, hopefully that will make you piss off like a good little paedo back to all those stauesque uber-models at Wankerworld

*I just had a little look over at Wankerworld myself, it's been no fun since Strawie got shafted so I rarely bother anymore. But it looks to me like Ardent needs a break from the internet for a while to stop and regroup, become human again. The cyberworld is obviously getting to him. Too much internet makes anyone a nasty piece of work, especially one who's already got social issues in the real world!

Cass, you are a horrible cow.

Why ?

Because you insist on LYING all the time.

When I came back to TW , YOU found it necessary to be insulting again - NOT ME.

So you started this.


You can call me a paedophile all you want , but we both know that you know that isn't the truth

Like I said earlier: you yourself gave the link in which that is made clear.

Also, Ardent, don't you think sporting a fucking Naruto picture while claiming you're not attracted to 12 year olds is just a little hypocritical? Makes one think the fact your friends are all over 18 might not be for want of trying.

Je est un autre

shit thread

I *love* Naruto - It's my fave anime series and have been a fan of it for years - long before it came to america.
I download the japanese episodes with subs .

The series isn't even on TV here.

And i hope you don't think I watch it for any perverted reason lol - It's just a damned cool cartoon series - with no sexual content of course ! :)

Stay Gold

someone please could add lyrics here ...?
thanx

I'm not sure, but from what I can make of the chorus:

It's cock..rock / but it's OK

That's what I hear, and I'd say it is the inspiration for the album cover. Probably left off the album to avoid a situation where they'd get no airplay due to the lyrics on the album.

"No peachy prayers, no trendy rechauffé
I'm with you so I can't go on"

I rank this song as middle quality on the Tin Machine II scale - certainly better than 'Stateside' and 'Sorry' and even 'You Can't Talk'. It's probably on a similar level to songs like 'A Big Hurt' and 'If There is Something' if not a little better - but it's not the pinnacle represented by 'Shopping For Girls', 'You Belong in R&R' and 'Goodbye Mr Ed'.

Here's what I make of the lyrics (with schizo's assumption of the chorus):

I got a blues
Layered in a little house
Less I know
Less I feel a godless, come the sun (?)

Call my blues a rat race
All the rats are winning
God moves in mysterious ways
God moves in, the rats they move out

It's tough, but, it's OK!
It's tough, but, it's OK!

Angels come in limousines
When the night is down
They glide along the shiny streets
Touch me when I'm down
I love this grimy city
I love this freaky town

It's tough, but, it's OK!
It's tough, but, it's OK!

Brother I see they took you
Took you off the front line
Memory is our best defense
Memories are made of all of this

(Sax solo)

Squeezing out a generation
Waiting for the next
Killing them by the radio
Hey, I am not ready for this

It's tough, but, it's OK!
So I lie, lie, lie

Angels come in limousines
When the night is down
They glide along the shiny streets
Touch me when I'm down
I love this grimy city
I love this freaky town

It's tough, but, it's OK!
It's tough, but, it's OK!

Hangs upon a cross
A man who crossed the road
I came across the cross eyed man
Crossed him down and trusting no one

It's tough, but, it's OK!
It makes me lie, lie, lie
It's tough, but, it's OK!
My memories are made of this

(Sax solo)

It's tough, but, it's OK!
It's tough, but, it's OK!

Sequencing a generation
Waiting for the next
Suffocate my radio
Hey, I am not ready for this
So I lie, lie, lie
So I lie, lie, lie
Three times in a day
