David Bowie - Low
If I ever choose to listen to one album at the end of every week, to set myself back to right, let me hope it’s this one.
Every chance, every chance that I take
I take it on the road
Those kilometers and the red lights
I was always looking left and right
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same carHe off-handedly describes details which add up to an accident, and only then says “crash”, but in the same stroke makes it clear that the crash is unreal, that the car still exists after each crash, and that it’s “always”, not just every time. He covers a lot of ground with just a few simple words.
