thanks Vilhelm -
except that it's not "child", it's Charlie. :E
good night all ...

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

Regarding the Bowie song, I always heard it as "Charlie on my back" -- Charlie is slang for a police car. Bowie was very paranoid about being followed in those days (see the film "Cracked Actor"). However, Charlie is also British slang for cocaine according to this site:

Gotcha. on the SF version near the end of the song he says something like "GOD, GIT IT!" or something like that during that part.

as for the Charlie/Child thing, ive always heard it as charlie on the SF version. on the live versions, to my recollection he just leaves that part completley out and goes "youve got to mix it, you've got to fix it must be love..." but thats just from what I heard.

And also a porn star.

Thanks, roo. It's about sex. Get a grip, ya'll.

Love is always a BITCH! So you got to mix it and fix it. It's not about drugs, it's about the ups and downs of relationships and love.

Do they eat horse meat pies in Europe? I was told yes, they really do but I wasn't sure.

BITCH is my signature song and my handle, but if the name is already taken I use BitchKeepsBitchin. BITCH & Little T&A are my favorite songs!

BITCH KEEPS BITCHIN,

Keep bitchin, you bitchin bitch - BitchKeepsBitchin!

Charlie is slang for coke.
