David Bowie – Sweet Head (take 4)

‘Sweet Head’ is a song written by David Bowie and recorded in 1971. It took a while before it was eventually released on the Rykodisc CD of Ziggy Stardust in 1990. It also appeared on the 30th Anniversary Reissue bonus disc of Ziggy Stardust in 2002. Though originally written for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars (the lyrics refer to “brother Ziggy”), it was most likely considered too provocative to be released on the original album. The song’s lyrics contain strong innuendo, and directly reference oral sex.
