David Bowie
Battle for Britain (The Letter) [Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York, 15th October 1997]

[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
My, my, the time do fly when it's in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be for I’ve never been a winner in my life
I get used to stress and pain, I take these sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me, but I'd rather be a beggar man on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors
Yes, sing with me
Don't be so forlorn, it's just thе payoff
It's the rain before thе storm

[Chorus]
Don’t you let my letter get you down
Oh no
Don’t you, don't you, don’t you, don't you

[Verse 2]
My, my, but time do fly when it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be, 'cause I’ve never been a sinner, la-di-da
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm

[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down
Oh no
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Piano Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down
Oh no
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get you down
Oh no
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Outro]
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
