A song satirising late 70s D.J. culture. Said Bowie:
This is somewhat cynical but it’s my natural response to disco. The DJ is the one who is having ulcers now, not the executives, because if you do the unthinkable thing of putting a record on in a disco not in time, that’s it. If you have thirty s...
D.J. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am home, lost my job
And incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?
[Chorus]
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, turn around no, oh no
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers
Believing in me
[Verse 2]
One more weekend
Of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
[Chorus]
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I say
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around, ooh
I am a D.J., I am what I play
I've got believers
Believing me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around, no, can't turn around
I am a D.J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no (kiss-kiss)
[Bridge]
Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am the D.J., and I've got believers
[Outro]
I've got believers, I've got believers
I've got believers in me (I've got believers)
I am a D.J., I am what I play, I am a D.J
