song
Ch-ch-ch-ch-_______ / Turn and face the strain
Changes
Ground Control to Major Tom / Commencing countdown, engines on
Space Oddity
And when I get excited my little _____ ____ says / Oh baby just you shut your mouth
China Girl
I never done good things / I never done bad things
Ashes to Ashes
Do you remember, your President Nixon? / Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
Young Americans
Look at that sky, life's begun / Nights are warm and the days are young
Golden Years
I, I will be king / And you, you will be queen
Heroes
The ____ _____ lives on his back / The ____ _____ loves chimney stacks
The Jean Genie
It's a god-awful small affair / To the girl with the mousy hair
Life on Mars?
Ziggy played guitar / Jamming good with Weird and Gilly
Ziggy Stardust
Blue, blue, electric blue / That's the colour of my room
Sound and Vision
Hey man, oh leave me alone you know / Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone
Suffragette City
There's a brand new dance / But I don't know its name
Fashion
If you should fall into my arms / And tremble like a flower
Let's Dance
The return of the Thin White Duke / Throwing darts in lovers' eyes

The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat

And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase

The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope

Onto the street below, oh Tarzan, go man go

Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach

Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch

Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake

Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are stabilised

- he really evokes Dylan at times. Great quiz.
