3.1. The Next Day

• 세 번째로 싱글컷된 곡. 카톨릭 성직자들 사이 만연한 성비위 문제를 비판하고자 하였으나, 비하의 여지를 띠고 유혈 묘사가 강하다는 점에 있어서 비판이 많았다. 특히 예수의 성혈이 간접적으로 묘사되는 바람에 곤혹을 치렀으며, 교황청에서 유감[8]과 동시에 용서를 표하는 성명을 발표하는 것으로 상황이 갈음되었다. "예수 발언" 에 대한 교황청의 용서 성명에 대해 코멘트를 남긴 비틀즈 멤버들과 달리, 이미 이 시기부터 공개적 발언을 삼가던 보위는 어떤 응답도 하지 않았다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> The Next Day [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Look into my eyes he tells her I'm gonna say goodbye he says, yeah Do not cry she begs of him goodbye, yeah All that day she thinks of his love, yeah They whip him through the streets and alleys there The gormless and the baying crowd right there They can't get enough of that doomsday song They can't get enough of it all Listen! Listen to the whores he tells her He fashions paper sculptures of them Then drags them to the river's bank in the cart Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark And the priest stiff in hate now demanding fun begin Of his women dressed as men for the pleasure of that priest Here I am, not quite dying My body left to rot in a hollow tree Its branches throwing shadows on the gallows for me And the next day, and the next, and another day Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases They chase him through the alleys chase him down the steps They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death And drag him to the feet of the purple headed priest First they give you everything that you want Then they take back everything that you have They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees They can work with Satan while they dress like the saints They know God exists for the Devil told them so They scream my name aloud down into the well below Here I am, not quite dying My body left to rot in a hollow tree Its branches throwing shadows on the gallows for me And the next day, and the next, and another day Here I am, not quite dying My body left to rot in a hollow tree Its branches throwing shadows on the gallows for me And the next day, and the next, and another day Here I am, not quite dying My body left to rot in a hollow tree Its branches throwing shadows on the gallows for me And the next day, and the next, and another day Listen!

3.2. Dirty Boys

• 색소폰을 맡은 것은 80년대 그의 색소폰 세션이었던 스티브 엘슨. 라이브 에이드 이후 처음 보위와 만나는 것이라 보위의 이너 서클이었던 지인의 소개로 누구 것인지도 모르는 음반을 녹음하러 갔다가 30년 만에 보위를 만나고는 심히 당황했다고(...)

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Dirty Boys [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Something like Tobacco Road Living on a lonely road I will pull you out of there We will go to Finchley Fair I will buy you feather hat I will steal a cricket bat Smash some windows, make a noise We will run with dirty boys When the sun goes down When the sun goes down and the die is cast When the die is cast and you have no choice We will run with dirty boys We all go mad we all want you Me and the boys we all go through You've got to learn to hold your tongue This ain't the moon this is burnin' sun When the sun goes down When the sun goes down and the die is cast When the die is cast and you have no choice We will run with dirty boys

3.3. The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

• 두 번째로 싱글컷된 곡.
• 젊은 가짜 보위를 연기하는 배우는 여자다.
• 씬 화이트 듀크 시기, 시계태엽 오렌지, 지구에 떨어진 사나이 1976년 판에 대한 오마주가 뮤직비디오 곳곳에 들어있다. 심지어 이중창이 뮤직비디오에서 효과적으로 재현됨을 생각해 보았을 때 이 곡의 서사적 장치는 보위가 프로모션 전 미리 중요 트랙으로 구상하고 마련했을 가능성이 있다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> The Stars (Are Out Tonight) [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Stars are never sleeping (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Dead ones and the living We live closer to the earth Never to the heavens The stars are never far away Stars are out tonight They watch us from behind their shades Brigitte, Jack and Kate and Brad From behind their tinted window stretch Gleaming like blackened sunshine (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Stars are never sleeping (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Dead ones and the living Waiting for the first move Satyrs and their child wives Waiting for the last move Soaking up our primitive world (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Stars are never sleeping (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Dead ones and the living Their jealousy's spilling down The stars must stick together We will never be rid of these stars But I hope they live forever And they know just what we do That we toss and turn at night They're waiting to make their moves But the stars are out tonight[11] (Tonight, tonight) Here they are upon the stairs Sexless and unaroused They are the stars, they're dying for you But I hope they live forever They burn you with their radiant smiles Trap you with their beautiful eyes They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared But I hope they live forever Their jealousy's spilling down The stars must stick together We will never be rid of these stars But I hope they live forever And they know just what we do That we toss and turn at night They're waiting to make their moves on us The stars are out tonight (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) The stars are out tonight (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) The stars are out tonight

3.4. Love Is Lost

• 보위의 이전 곡들 드럼이 레퍼런스 되어 있으며, 트랙의 내용은 헤르미온느 파팅게일과 헤어진 직후의 혼란상을 회상하는 곡. 리믹스 버전에서 Ashes to Ashes의 키보드 리프가 인용되었다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Love Is Lost [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] It's the darkest hour, you're twenty two The voice of youth, the hour of dread The darkest hour and your voice is new Love is lost, lost is love Your country's new Your friends are new Your house and even your eyes are new Your maid is new and your accent too But your fear is as old as the world Oh, what have you done?[리믹스] Say goodbye to the thrills of life Where love was good, no love was bad Wave goodbye to the life without pain Say hello You're a beautiful girl [14] Say hello to the lunatic men(Say hello, hello)[rmxvox] Tell them your secrets They're like the grave(Tell them all you know)[rmxvox] Oh, what have you done? Oh, what have you done? Love is lost, lost is love(What have you done, the grave)[rmxvox] You know so much, it's making you cry(You know, you know)[rmxvox] You refuse to talk but you think like mad(You know, you know)[rmxvox] You've cut out your soul and the face of thought(You know, you know)[rmxvox] Oh, what have you done? Oh, what have you done? Oh, what have you done? Oh, what have you done?

3.5. Where Are We Now?

• 첫 번째로 싱글컷된 곡. 뮤직비디오가 아무런 홍보 없이 아이튠즈에 음원과 함께 공개되었다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Where Are We Now? [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Had to get the train 포츠담 광장에서 From Potsdamer Platz 전철을 타야만 했지 You never knew that 내가 이렇게 할 수 있으리라고 That I could do that 그댄 몰랐겠지 Just walking the dead 그냥 죽은 듯이 걸었어 Sitting in the Dschungel 뉘른베르크 거리의 On Nürnberger Strasse 슝겔 클럽 안에 앉아 A man lost in time 카데베 백화점 옆에서 Near KaDeWe 과거를 곱씹는 사람 Just walking the dead 그냥 죽은 듯이 걸었어 Where are we now, we now, we now? 우린 지금 어디에 있을까, 어디에? The moment you know, you know, you know 그대가 아는 순간에, 그 순간에 Twenty thousand people 2만 명의 사람들이 Cross Bösebrücke 뵈제브뤽 다리를 건너 Fingers are crossed 혹시 모르니 Just in case 행운을 빌어주려 해 Walking the dead 그냥 죽은 듯이 걸었어 Where are we now, we now, we now? 우린 지금 어디에 있을까, 어디에? The moment you know, you know, you know 그대가 아는 순간에, 그 순간에 As long as there's sun 그곳에 태양이 솟는 한 As long as there's sun 그곳에 태양이 솟는 한 As long as there's rain 그곳에 비가 내리는 한 As long as there's rain 그곳에 비가 내리는 한 As long as there's fire 그곳에 불이 이는 한 As long as there's fire 그곳에 불이 이는 한 As long as there's me 그곳에 내가 있는 한 As long as there's you 그곳에 그대가 있는 한

3.6. Valentine's Day

• 네 번째로 싱글컷된 곡.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Valentine's Day [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Valentine told me who's to go 발렌타인이 누가 가야하는지 내게 말해줬어 Feelings he's treasured most of all 그가 아끼던 감정들 The teachers and the football stars 선생들과 축구부 스타들 It's in his tiny face 그것은 그의 작은 손에 있어 It's in his scrawny hands 그것은 그의 갸냘픈 손에 있어 Valentine sold his soul 발렌타인은 그의 영혼을 팔았어 He's got something to say 그가 할말이 있대 It's Valentine's day 오늘은 발렌타인 데이라고 The rhythm of the crowd 군중의 움직임을 Teddy and Judy down 테디와 주디가 쓰러졌어 Valentine sees it all 발렌타인은 다 보았어 He's got something to say 그가 할말이 있대 It's Valentine's day 오늘은 발렌타인 데이라고 Valentine told me how he feels 발렌타인이 내게 어떤 기분일지 알려줬어 If all the world were under his heels 만약 온 세상이 그의 발 아래에 있다면 Or stumbling through the mall 아니면 쇼핑몰에서 비틀거린다면 It's in his tiny face 그것은 그의 작은 손에 있어 It's in his scrawny hands 그것은 그의 갸냘픈 손에 있어 Valentine knows it all 발렌타인은 다 알아 He's got something to say 그가 할말이 있대 It's Valentine's day 오늘은 발렌타인 데이야 Valentine, Valentine 발렌타인, 발렌타인 (Yeah) 예 (Woo, woo) 우, 우 Valentine, Valentine 발렌타인, 발렌타인 It's in his scrawny hand 그것은 그의 갸냘픈 손에 있어 It's in his icy heart 그것은 그의 차가운 심장 안에 있어 It's happening today 그것은 오늘 일어날거야 It's in his scrawny hand 그것은 그의 갸냘픈 손에 있어 It's in his icy heart 그것은 그의 차가운 심장 안에 있어 It's happening today 그것은 오늘 벌어질거야 Valentine, Valentine 발렌타인, 발렌타인

3.7. If You Can See Me

• 박자 세는 방식에 따라 프레이즈를 구성하는 마디 수가 달라지는 변화무쌍한 곡[21]. 가사는 Let's Dance를 오마주했으나 전혀 대중적인 분위기의 곡은 아니며, 사운드는 Buddha of Suburbia나 1. Outside 수준의 익스페리멘탈을 방불케 한다. 다음 앨범인 ★까지 나아가는 음악적 방향성을 암시하고 있다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> If You Can See Me [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] If you can see me I can see you I could wear your new blue shoes I should wear your old red dress And walk to the crossroads So take this knife And meet me across the river Just shoots and ladders and this is the kiss American Anna fantasticalsation From nowhere to nothing And I go way back Children swarm like thousands of bugs Towards the lights the beacons above the hill The stars to the West, the South, the North And to the East Now you could say I've got a gift of sorts A fear of rear windows and swinging doors A love of violence a dread of sighs If you can see me I can see you If you can see me I can see you I have seen these bairns wave their fists at God Swear to destroy the beasts stamping the ground In their excitement for tomorrow I could wear your new blue shoes I should wear your old red dress And walk to the crossroads So take this knife And meet me across the river I will take your lands and all that lays beneath The dust of cold flowers drizzle of dark ashes I will slaughter your kind who descend from belief I am the spirit of greed a lord of theft I'll burn all your books and the problems they make If you can see me I can see you If you can see me

3.8. I'd Rather Be High

• 데이빗 보위 본인이 출연한 루이비통 광고에 사용되었다. 리믹스 버전은 광고 버전의 하프시코드를 극대화한 곡(앨범의 프로듀서 토니 비스콘티가 연주했다).
• 뮤직비디오에서 거의 대놓고 암시하는데, 가사 내용은 대충 2차대전을 배경으로 참전당해 죽느니 뒤질 때까지 약이나 빨고 섹스나 하지를 돌려서 말한 정도. How does the grass grow? 와 서사상 연결된다.
• "세계 대전이나 군인에 관한 노래가 몇 곡 있는데… 'I'd Rather Be High'는 전쟁에서 돌아온 군인이 완전히 지쳐버린 상태에서 다시 인간성을 되찾기보다는 "차라리 취해 있고 싶어, 알고 싶지 않아, 이런 생각들을 머릿속에서 지우고 싶어"라고 한탄하는 내용이에요." -토니 비스콘티의 2013년 인터뷰.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> I'd Rather Be High [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Nabokov is sun-licked now Upon the beach at Grunewald[22] Brilliant and naked just The way that authors look Clare and Lady Manners drink Until the other cows go home Gossip 'til their lips are bleeding Politics and all I'd rather be high (I'd rather be high) I'd rather be flying (I'd rather be flying) I'd rather be dead Or out of my head Than training these guns on those men in the sand I'd rather be high The Thames was black, the tower dark I flew to Cairo, find my regiment City's full of generals And generals full of shit I stumble to the graveyard And I lay down by my parents Whisper, "Just remember duckies Everybody gets got." I'd rather be high (I'd rather be high) I'd rather be flying (I'd rather be flying) I'd rather be dead Or out of my head Than training these guns on those men in the sand I'd rather be high I'm seventeen, my looks can prove it I'm so afraid that I will lose it I'd rather smoke and phone my ex Be pleading for some teenage sex Yeah I'd rather be high (I'd rather be high) I'd rather be flying (I'd rather be flying) I'd rather be dead Or out of my head Than training these guns on those men in the sand I'd rather be high I'd rather be flying[23] I'd rather be high[24] I'd rather be flying I'd rather be flying I'd rather be high I'd rather be flying

3.9. Boss of Me

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Boss of Me [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Tell me when you're sad I wanna make it cool again I know you're feeling bad Tell me when you're cool again Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed That a small-town girl like you Would be the boss of me? We fly through the night The tears on your lips Life has your mind and soul It spins on your hips Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed That a small-town girl like you Would be the boss of me? Would be the boss of me? Would be the boss of me? You look at me and you weep For the free blue sky I look to the stars As they flicker and float in your eyes And under these wings of steel The small town dies Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed That a small-town girl like you Would be the boss of me? Who'd have ever thought of it Who'd have ever dreamed That a small-town girl like you Would be the boss of me? Would be the boss of me? Would be the boss of me?

3.10. Dancing Out in Space

• 보위 특유의 디스코에 관한 해석이 기분 좋게 나오는 업템포의 곡인데, 그런 것 치고는 어째 vi 마이너 코드로 시작하는 것하며 가사 중간에 익사하는 듯이 우주에서 춤을 춘다는 내용이 암시하는 것이 아마 산소 없이 우주를 유영하거나 우주복 없이 던져진 끔살 확정(...)인 경우를 얘기하는 걸로 보이기에 Space Oddity의 유구한 계보를 잇는 우울 우주물 확정이다...

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Dancing Out in Space [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Cutting through the water Hands upon the ghost To the city of solid iron Through the kingdom of the boats Send your friend away now Let him sail back home tonight Something like religion Dancing face to face Something like a drowning Dancing out in space (Hey baby) No-one here can see you Dancing face to face No-one here can beat you Dancing out in space (Hey baby) Silent as Georges Rodenbach Mist and silhouette Girl, you move like water You've got stars upon your head You've got my name and number You've got to take the floor Something like religion (Hey baby) Dancing face to face Something like a drowning (Hey baby) Dancing out in space (Hey baby) No-one here can see you (Hey baby) Dancing face to face No-one here can beat you (Hey baby) Dancing out in space (Hey baby) (Hey baby) Dancing face to face (Hey baby) Dancing out in space (Hey baby) (Hey baby) Dancing face to face (Hey baby) Dancing out in space (Hey baby) (Hey baby) Dancing face to face (Hey baby) Dancing out in space (Hey baby)

3.11. How Does the Grass Grow?

• 2차 대전 당시의 이미지들을 노골적으로 가사에 활용하여 전쟁에서 죽어간 젊은 병사들을 분노에 차 관조해 나가는 곡.
• 후렴구 가사의 구조(질문 - 답 3번 반복)은 풀 메탈 재킷의 대사에서 인용하였다.
• 'I gaze in defeat...' 로 시작하는 브릿지 부분은 The Shadows 의 <Apache> 에서 멜로디를 그대로 인용해 왔으며, 전후 전쟁에 대한 반성과 좌절적 분위기를 레퍼런스하는 데 멜로디를 그대로 갖다 쓰는 것만큼 좋은 게 없다고 판단했는지, 변형하지 않고 그대로 사용하게 되었다. 그로 인해 그렇지 않아도 침묵 속에 만들어진 이 앨범에서 보위의 밴드 멤버들을 제외하고 외부 인사로서는 유일하게 Shadows의 제리 로단이 공동 작곡가로 크레딧에 등재되었다. 문제는 제리 로단의 관계자들에게조차도 이 앨범은 당연히 비밀이었기 때문에, 그나마 첫 싱글인 Where Are We Now? 가 발매된 이후 빠르게 협의를 진행하여 사용허가를 받았다. 상황이 잘못 풀렸더라면 피지컬 앨범에서만 들을 수 있는 곡이 되었을지도.
• "세계 대전과 군인에 관한 노래가 이번 앨범에 몇 곡 있습니다. 그중 하나가 'How Does The Grass Grow?'인데, 이 노래는 군인들이 동료 군인을 죽이도록 훈련받는 방식과, 그들이 얼마나 무자비해야 하는지에 대한 내용입니다. 'How Does The Grass Grow?'는 군인들이 총검을 마네킹에 꽂을 때 배우는 구호 중 하나입니다." -토니 비스콘티의 2013년 인터뷰.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> How Does the Grass Grow? [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] There's a graveyard by the station Where the girls wear nylon skirts and Sandals from Hungary The boys ride their Riga 1's Upon the little hill Such sadness and grief The trees die standing That's where we made our trysts And struggled with our guns Would you still love me If the clocks could go backwards The girls would fill with blood and The grass would be green again Remember the dead They were so great Some of them Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya How does the grass grow Blood blood blood Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya Where do the boys lie Mud mud mud How does the grass grow Blood blood blood But I lived a blind life A white face in prison But you made a life out of nothing Now I ride my black horse I miss you more Than you'll ever ever know Waiting with my red eyes And my stone heart Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya How does the grass grow Blood blood blood Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya Where do the boys lie Mud mud mud How does the grass grow Blood blood blood I gaze in defeat At the stars in the night The light in my life burnt away There will be no tomorrow Then you sigh in your sleep And meaning returns with the day[25] Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya Where do the boys lie Mud mud mud How does the grass grow Blood blood blood

3.12. (You Will) Set the World On Fire

• 밥 딜런과 동세대에 활동했던 여자 포크 뮤지션들의 이미지를 여럿 덧씌워 그들의 20대를 상상해 본 곡으로 알려져 있다. 앨범의 주요 기타리스트이자 보위의 오랜 친구인 얼 슬릭에게 "이 곡을 라이브로 하면 죽이겠는데." 라고 보위가 말했다가, "잊어버려, 그럴 일은 없을 거야." 라고 나중에 수정했다고.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> (You Will) Set the World On Fire [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Midnight in the Village Seeger lights the candles From Bitter End to Gaslight Baez leaves the stage Ochs takes notes When the black girl and guitar Burn together hot in rage You've got what it takes You say too much You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire Kennedy would kill For the lines that you've written Van Ronk says to Bobby She's the next real thing Crouched in the half light Screaming like a banshee You're in the boat, babe We're in the water You say too much You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene babe I can see the magazines Oh, I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire

3.13. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die

• Five Years의 분위기와 드러밍이 일부 인용되었다.
• 아웃사이드 투어 도중의 갈등 이후 자신을 긴 시간 동안 욕하고 다닌 모리세이에게 보내는 디스곡이라는 설이 있는 곡. 곡은 정말 슬픈데, 가사를 읽어보면 후렴구 하나 없이 집요하게 특정 대상을 욕하는 가사이긴 하다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> You Feel So Lonely You Could Die [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] No-one ever saw you Moving through the dark Leaving slips of paper Somewhere in the park Hidden from your friends Stealing all they knew Lovers thrown in airless rooms Then vile rewards for you And I'm gonna tell Yes I've gotta tell Gotta tell the things you've said When you're talking in the dark And I'm gonna tell the things you've done When you're walking through the park Some night on the thriller's street Will come the silent gun You've got a dangerous heart You stole their trust, their moon, their sun There'll come assassin's needle(you feel so lonely) On a crowded train(ooh, ooh, hmm) I'll bet you feel so lonely You could die Buildings crammed with people Landscape filled with wrath Grey concrete city Rain has wet the street I want to see you clearly Before you close the door A room of bloody history You made sure of that I can see you as a corpse Hanging from a beam I can read you like a book I can feel you falling I hear you moaning in your room Oh see if I care Oh please, please make it soon Walls have got you cornered You've got the blues my friend And people don't like you But you will leave without a sound, without an end Oblivion shall own you(you feel so lonely) Death alone shall love you(ooh, ooh, hmm) I hope you feel so lonely You could die Feel so lonely You could die You feel so lonely You could die

3.14. Heat

• 앨범에서 가장 아방가르드한 곡이다. 현악기 톤 클러스터, 노이즈와 반복된 가사 패턴만을 활용하여 밤에 들으면 무섭지만 환상적인 분위기를 만든다. 스콧 워커의 The Electrician으로부터 강한 영향을 받았다.

<colbgcolor=#000><colcolor=#d6d6c9> Heat [ 펼치기 · 접기 ] Then we saw Mishima's dog Trapped between the rocks Blocking the waterfall The songs of dust The world would end The night was always falling The peacock in the snow And I tell myself I don't know who I am And I tell myself I don't know who I am My father ran the prison My father ran the prison I can only love you By hating him more That's not the truth It's too big a word He believed That love is theft Love and whores The theft of love And I tell myself I don't know who I am And I tell myself I don't know who I am My father ran the prison My father ran the prison But I am a seer I am a liar I am a seer But I am a liar My father ran the prison My father ran the prison
