I should confess that the 80s are not my decade. At all. That notwithstanding, I present David "Dark Elf" Bowie's collaboration with Maeglin Mercury, "Under Pressure", sung in a typically glittery and androgynous and disconcerting manner.
EOL: Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That tears a city down
Splits a family in two
Puts corpses on streets
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
That's o-kay!
It's the terror of knowing
What internment's about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Flyin around
Kick my brains right off the wall
These are the days
It never rains it pours
Corpses on streets
Corpses on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What internment's about
Watching some bad friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Higher right off Caragdur
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
MAEGLIN: Went to fight but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so twisted, torn
Why why why?
Love lust lust love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love give lust give love?
Give love incest give love give lust give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For cousins on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Between mountains under pressure
