David Bowie - The Shape Of Things To Come flac album

The Shape of Things to Come is a work of science fiction by H. G. Wells, published in 1933, which speculates on future events from 1933 until the year 2106. A long economic slump causes a major war that leaves Europe devastated and threatened by plague.

David Bowie was halfway through writing a concept album about George Orwell's classic novel 1984 when he ran into a tiny snag: Orwell's estate denied him the rights to the book. Rather than start from scratch, Bowie opted to put some of the songs on a more traditional glam rock album. Diamond Dogs is a farewell to the already fading glam scene. On the cover, Bowie still has his Ziggy hair, but he's already morphing into some other creature.

Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Oh you Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior.

Here are some of the things we've discovered about David Bowie since he died. The album's artwork, which presents a single black star on a white background, is also loaded with symbolism.

I had to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there. Am. C/G. And all the fat-skinny people, Am. and all the tall-short people. He'd like to come and meet us. C7. But he thinks he'd blow our minds. Well she's a tongue twisting storm, she will come to the show tonight. B. F A. Praying to the light machine.
