Time (David Bowie song)
"Time" is a song by David Bowie. Written in New Orleans in November 1972 during the American leg of Bowie's first Ziggy Stardust tour, it was recorded in London in January 1973 and released as the opening track on side two of the album ''Aladdin Sane'' that April. An edited version of the song supplanted the release of the single "Drive-In Saturday" in the United States and Japan.〔(''Aladdin Sane'' at The Ziggy Stardust Companion )〕
==Production and style==
The piece has been described as "burlesque vamp,"〔Kris Needs (1983). ''Bowie: A Celebration'': p.29〕 and compared to the cabaret music of Jacques Brel and Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill.〔Ben Gerson (19 July 1973). (''Rolling Stone'' review of ''Aladdin Sane'' )〕 Keyboardist Mike Garson said that he employed "the old stride piano style from the 20s and I mixed it up with avant-garde jazz styles plus it had the element of show music, plus it was very European."〔David Buckley (1999) ''Strange Fascination - David Bowie: The Definitive Story'': pp. 185-187〕 Co-producer Ken Scott took credit for the idea of mixing the sound of Bowie's breathing right up front when the music paused, just before guitarist Mick Ronson launched into his cacophonous solo.〔
The song's best-known couplet is "Time - he flexes like a whore / Falls wanking to the floor"; RCA allowed it to remain in the US single edit, being unfamiliar with the meaning of the British term "wanking".〔Nicholas Pegg (2000). ''The Complete David Bowie'': p. 218〕 However, when Bowie came to perform the song on the U.S. television special ''The 1980 Floor Show'' in August 1973, he slurred the line in such a way as to render it "Falls ''swanking'' to the floor."〔("Time" at The Ziggy Stardust Companion )〕 Conversely, RCA cut the line "In quaaludes and red wine" from the single, while Bowie retained it for ''The 1980 Floor Show''. The phrase "Billy Dolls" refers to Billy Murcia, late drummer for the New York Dolls.〔〔
