Bowie talked about this song in an interview with the BBC One:
Here’s a song that I started to write in Berlin and ended up in New York. It’s got a sort of Turkish quality to it, it’s one of my favourite tracks on the album. ‘Yassassin’ means ‘long live’ in Turkish, I didn’t know that, I read it on...
Yassassin Lyrics
[Chorus]
(Yassassin) I'm not a moody guy
(Yassassin) I walk without a sound
(Yassassin) Just a working man, no judge of men
(Yassassin) But such a life I've never known
[Verse 1]
We came from the farmlands
To live in this city
We walked proud and lustful
In this resonant world
[Bridge]
You want to fight
But I don't want to leave
Or drift away
[Chorus]
(Yassassin) I'm not a moody guy
(Yassassin) I walk without a sound
(Yassassin) Just a working man, no judge of men
(Yassassin) But such a life I've never known
[Verse 2]
Look at this, no second glances
Look at this, no value of love
Look at this, just sun and steel
Look at this, then look at us
If there's someone in charge
Then listen to me
Don't say nothing is wrong
'Cause I have got a love and she is-a feared
[Bridge]
You want to fight
But I don't want to leave
Or drift away
[Chorus]
(Yassassin) I'm not a moody guy
(Yassassin) I walk without a sound
(Yassassin) Just a working man, no judge of men
(Yassassin) But such a life I've never known
(Yassassin) I'm not a moody guy
(Yassassin) I walk without a sound
(Yassassin) Just a working man, no judge of men
(Yassassin) But such a life I've never known
Yassassin, Yassassin, Yassassin
