David Bowie - hangin’ ’round

가사에서는 부유한 젊은 남성이 다양한 여성들, 특히 자신의 과거와 관련된 인물들과의 복잡한 관계를 회상한다
그는 그들과의 연관성을 느끼면서도, 과거의 습관을 끊고 싶은 의지를 보여준다
이 과정에서 주인공은 각 인물의 독특한 특징과 함께 자신이 처한 상황에 대한 회의감을 느낀다

Harry was a rich young man who would become a priest
He dug up his dear father who was recently deceased
He did it with tarot cards and a mystically attuned mind
And shortly therein after he did find
Jeanie was a spoiled young brat, she thought she knew it all
She smoked mentholated cigarettes and she had sex in the hall
But she was not my kind or even of my sign
The kind of animal that I would be about, woah, woah, woah
You keep hangin' 'round me
And I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
Oh, woah, woah, woah
You keep hangin' 'round me
And I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
All right now, uh-huh-huh
Kathy was a bit surreal, she painted all her toes
And on her face, she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose
And when she finally spoke, her twang, her glasses broke
And no one else could smoke while she was in the room
Hark, the herald angels sang and reached out for a phone
And plucking it with a knife in hand dialed long distance home
But it was all too much sprinkling angel dust
To AT&T who didn't wish you well, oh
