David Bowie Repetition song lyrics

Johnny is a man and he's bigger than you

But his overheads are high and he looks straight through

When you ask him how the kids are

He'll get home around seven 'cos the Chevy's real old

And he could have had a Cadillac if the school had taught him right

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

And the food is on the table but the food is cold

Don't hit her, "Can't you even cook? What's the good of me

Working when you can't damn cook?"

Well, Johnny is a man and he's bigger than her

I guess the bruises won't show if she wears long sleeves

But the space in her eyes shows through

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Shows through, shows through, shows through
