Battle for Britain (The Letter) Lyrics - David Bowie

1 My, my, the time do fly

2 When it's in another pair of hands

3 And a loser I will be

4 For I've never been a winner in my life

5 I got used to stressing pain

6 I used the sucker pills to pity for the self

7 Oh, it's the animal in me

8 But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf

9 Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff

10 It's the rain before the storm

11 On a better day, I'll take you by the hand

12 And I'll walk you through the doors

13 Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff

14 It's the rain before the storm

15 Don't you let my letter get you down

16 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

17 My, my, but time do fly

18 When it's in another pair of pants

19 And illusion I will be

20 For I've never been a sinner, la di da

21 Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff

22 It's the rain before the storm

23 Don't you let my letter get you down

24 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

25 Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down

26 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

27 Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down

28 Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

29 Down, down, down, down, down, down

30 Down, down, down, down, down, down

31 Down, down, down, down, down, down
