Kooks Lyrics

Will you stay in our Lovers' Story
If you stay you won't be sorry
'Cause we believe in you

to keep you warm and dry
And a funny old...

    It sounds like they want to have a threesome with a little boy; after they have kidnapped him. I think it would the pedophiles national anthem, if they had one. It's super creepy.

    Apparently this song is for his son, Duncan, written when he was a baby, Bowie describes himself and his wife as 'a couple of Kooks hung up on romancing'. He goes on to talk about the things they bought for him, and implies that if the baby stays with them, he'll turn kooky too. He also implies near the end that he isn't too bothered about schoolwork, saying: if the homework brings you down, Then we'll throw it on the fire, And take the car downtown!
