- Ashes To Ashes Lyrics==============
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
CHORUS
REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed to love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
CHORUS
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
CHORUS
REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

✔️

✔️
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, David Bowie's song 'Ashes To Ashes' delves into the plight of Major Tom who is addicted to drugs and how his lifestyle affects him. Consequently, Major Tom is depicted as a very upset (unable to put up even a little bit of his life) and mood-swings character who, through references to moving experiences, is seeking, feeling lost, and the hardships of being sober. The song paints the picture of an emotionally charged person, presenting almost all human feelings and states like despair, angst, hope, love, and nostalgia. Besides, the song surrenders the fight with addiction and emphasizes every struggle, indicating the character's isolation and existential search. The lyrics drop pretty clear references to the use of drugs and being addicted, even going as far as to classify one character as 'junkie' and 'strung out,' which is probably not the best for kids below thirteen. Thus, the topic of drug abuse and the problems drug addicts have to face leads the song to a PG-13 rating.
