Song lyrics

Send "The Man Who Sold The World" ringtones to your cell

We passed upon the stair 
We spoke of was and when 
Although I wasn't there 
He said I was his friend 
Which came as a surprise 
I spoke into his eyes 
I thought you died alone 
A long long time ago 

Oh no, not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With The Man Who Sold The World 

I laughed and shook his hand 
And made my way back home 
I searched for form and land 
For years and years I roamed 
I gazed a gazeless stare 
We walked a million hills 
I must have died alone 
A long, long time ago 

Who knows? 
Not me 
I never lost control 
You're face to face 
With the Man who Sold the World 

Who knows? 
Not me 
We never lost control 
You're face to face 
With the Man who Sold the World

37 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is really great, the guitar-parts are awesome. I've heard the David Bowie version, and I just have to say, the Nirvana version is miles upon miles of magic cookies better.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal oh, what a breathetaking song. It is one of the most sinf that I SEE as the most gracefull and joyfull. it shows HOPE in it, and some STRANGENESS. I can' explain why Grunge is so amusing over and over the years, but Nirvana took it great as not only Music but also - History. I soliute for those about to ROCK (with allstars and a long blonde hair).

64 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I'm not a Bowie fan, but I LOVE Bowie covers. This isthe best I've heard (this or mcr & the used's "Under Pressure"). Best Nirvana song of all time. It's so beautiful and almost sounds like genuine Nirvana, even if Kurt didn't write it. God, this song is so fucking awesome, I can't even say how great it is. Probably the fifth best song ever recorded. Ever. We miss you, Kurt!

75 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is one of the best covers ever!!!! and no offense, but even though i luv MCr and The Used, their "Under Pressure" doesnt even come close to this one They can't capture the song and lyrics like Kurt does on this song The original "Under Pressure" is better.... Nirvana RULEZZZZ ALLLLLLLLLL
