DAVID BOWIE - Rubber Band [Single] Lyrics

Rubber band
There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
In the library garden Sunday afternoon
While a little chappie waves a golden wand

Rubber band
In 1912 I was so handsome and so strong
My mustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes

Dear rubber band
You're playing my tune out of tune

Rubber band
Won't you play a haunting theme again to me?
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea?
The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon

Oh, play that theme

Rubber band
How I wish that I had joined your rubber band
We could play in lively parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, I'd find my love

Rubber band
In the '14-'18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
Now she's married to the leader of the band, oh

Oh yeah, I hope you break your baton
