You never told me of your other faces
You were the widow of a wild cat
And now I know about your special kisses
And I know you know where that's at
I guess I recognise your destination
I think I see beneath your make-up
What you want is so separation
This is no ordinary
This is no ordinary
(Oh, oh, oh)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced girls
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
You've got a very heavy reputation
But no-one knows about your low-life
I know a way to find a situation
And hold a candle to your high-life disguise
You caught me kneeling at your sister's door
That was no ordinary stick-up
I'm well aware just what you're looking for
I am no ordinary
I am no ordinary
(Oh, oh, oh)
What a criminal world
The boys are like baby-faced boys
What a criminal girl
She'll show you where to shoot your gun
What a typical mother's son
The only thing that she enjoys
Is a criminal world
Where the girls are like baby-faced boys
Baby-faced boys
Baby-face
What a criminal world
What a criminal
Criminal
What a criminal world
What a criminal
Criminal
David Bowie - Criminal World (04:14)
Great cover of 1970's cult song by Metro. Bowie released it on his '80's 'Let's Dance' album...set
to Pulp Fiction clips.
It's WRONG to JUDGE another person! SERIOUSLY! Actually, it's so WRONG!

The album this is off makes me wish I could go back in time to the mid 80's and go clubbing, listening to this music, getting drunk on cheap drinks, chatting up the chicks with their big hair and taking mad 80's pingers!

I've noticed on most Bowie albums, there's always at least one cover, usually not as good as his original tracks. Although, in the "Let's Dance" case, I think this cover is the best on the album!

My favorite non-hit song off of Let's Dance! Metro's original recording is great too.

I did know this was a cover. I listened to it all the time when Bowie's album came out.
