I'll see your Leonard Cohen and raise you a Lou Reed:

"I thought I was someone else, someone good..."

Perfect Day.

"In a highway service station
Over the month of June
Was a photograph of the earth
Taken coming back from the moon
And you couldn't see a city
On that marbled bowling ball
Or a forest or a highway
Or me here least of all"


"Refuge Of the Roads" Joni Mitchell

It's pretentious and only David Bowie could pull it off:

"I sing with impertinence shading impermanent chords,
with my words."

Talbot,
Don't forget "Time" by David Bowie.

Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
