Oh my love, Janine
I'm helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wander
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand
Your strange demand
To collocate my mind
Scares me into gloom
You're too intense
I'll have to keep you in your place
I've no defence
I've got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head
That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You'll kill another man
Not me at all
You're fey, Janine
A tripper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
I'll have a right to shout you down
For you're a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glid along
I've caught your wings for laughs
I'm not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And don't act so sincere
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head
That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You'll kill another man
Not me at all
Yeah
Oh ah
Ooooo
Oh Janine
Hey Janine
Oh Janine
Ah ho
Oh Janine
Ho how
Janine
Ah Janine yeah
Janine Janine Janine
Yeah yeah
david bowie - janine (03:41)
from the 1968 recordings THE BECKENHAM ODDITY
thanks, this is really fantastic , one of the best Live tv performance of a solo-artist ever...I saw it a million times and never being bored. Diamond dogs is maybe one of his best work : t's amazing this new phase of his carreer after the glam period.

I love LOVE this performance! Bowie is just mezmorizing - a unique prolific artist. Shame this tour isn't out on dvd!! I love all periods of bowie, but '74-'77 the transformation from diamond dogs, young americans, station to station and low. I just find facinating

this truly screams 'BOWIE' he's really in his element and enjoying what he's doing. it's a great song and he has a hell of a reason to be proud of it. the performance is also one of the best i've seen of him, and i've seen most of 'em. thank-you so much for putting this video up ziggiestarlet

Well... Dont do hard drugs... Excessively. Drugs to an extent have played a very important part in musical history. You know that though.
