David Bowie, “Always Crashing in the Same Car” (Low, 1977) 03:28
There aren’t many albums I enjoy more than Low. It’s the first in a stylistic trilogy of albums Bowie made with Brian Eno (the other two being “Heroes” and Lodger).
From an interview with producer Tony Visconti:
I remember David wrote a third verse to “Always Crashing In The Same Car” and sang it in the style of Bob Dylan. It was done half in jest, but we were a little freaked because Dylan had just been in that motorcycle accident and this seemed like bad taste, I guess. David asked me to erase it and I did. I can’t recall there being any alternative lyrics to any other songs.
