Bowie wrote this song to his newborn son Duncan Jones. He was listening to a Neil Young record at home as he got the news of the arrival of his son. The song was a pastiche of early 1970s Neil Young. British indie band The Kooks named themselves after the song [CHORUS (x2)] Will you stay in our Lovers' Story If you stay you won't be sorry 'Cause we believe in you Soon you'll grow so take a chance With a couple of Kooks Hung up on romancing We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry I bought you a pair of shoes A trumpet you can blow And a book of rules On what to say to people when they pick on you 'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty Kookie too [CHORUS] And if you ever have to go to school Remember how they messed up this old fool Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads 'Cause I'm not much cop at punching other people's Dads And if the homework brings you down Then we'll throw it on the fire And take the car downtown [CHORUS (repeat ad inf.)] Tags: david bowie, kooks, hunky dory, 1971, duncan jones, neil young, Author: cannibaljuice |
