Whenever I hear this song I feel as though I'm being hypnotized - especially when Bowie sings(says), "forget all I've said/ please bear me no ill" - and the lulling "Oh by jingo's". The most chilling line is, "we're nobody's children at all, after all". Abandoned, lonely and sad - forever.

@ViddyOMG I have to say that The Bewley Brothers is my favorite DB song ever, and that's from a fan of over 40 years

@Kanarie1973 - And where would Space Oddity and Hunky Dory figure in that list of yours? These were also great albums with brilliant classic songs on both, for example the mighty and epic Cygnet Commitee on Space Oddity, and the fantastic The Bewlay Brothers on Hunky Dory, to name but two! Both of the albums you refer to are also great and so are these 2 and have to be the top 4 imho, although the ordering of them would be debateable.
