Ziggy Stardust (Sounds of the 70s - John Peel, Recorded 16.5.72) [2000 Remastered Version]

Ziggy Stardust (Sounds of the 70s - John Peel, Enregistré le 16.5.72) [Version remasterisée 2000]

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly,

Ziggy jouait de la guitare, jammant bien avec Weird et Gilly,

And the spiders from Mars. He played it left hand

Et les araignées de Mars. Il jouait de la main gauche

But made it too far

Mais il est allé trop loin

Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band

Il est devenu l'homme spécial, puis nous étions le groupe de Ziggy

Now Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Maintenant Ziggy chantait vraiment, les yeux plissés et les cheveux tirés en arrière

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling

Comme un chat du Japon, il pouvait les faire craquer en souriant

He could leave 'em to hang

Il pouvait les laisser pendre

'Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

Il est arrivé tellement chargé, bien accroché et bronzé blanc comme neige.

So where were the spiders, while the fly tried to break our balls

Alors où étaient les araignées, pendant que la mouche essayait de nous casser les couilles

With just the beer light to guide us,

Avec juste la lumière de la bière pour nous guider,

So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?

Alors on a gueulé sur ses fans et si on devait écraser ses douces mains ?

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were voodoo

Ziggy jouait pour gagner du temps, nous faisant croire que nous étions vaudous

The kid was just crass, he was the nazz

Le gosse était juste crass, il était le nazz

With God given ass

Avec un cul donné par Dieu

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar

Il a poussé tout ça trop loin, mais garçon, il savait jouer de la guitare

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind

Faisant l'amour avec son ego, Ziggy s'est aspiré dans son esprit

Like a leper messiah

Comme un messie lépreux

When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band.

Quand les gamins ont tué l'homme, j'ai dû dissoudre le groupe.

Ziggy played guitar.

Ziggy jouait de la guitare.
