David Bowie reveals jazzy new single, 'Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)'
The jazzy new track premiered on 6 Music today
2. 'Five Years': A song that perfectly encapsulates the chaos and fear of the world being told the end is nigh, but delivered with a beauty and vulnerability. If we were told of Armageddon, we'd put this song on straight away.

Awesome news for fans of the Thin White Duke - David Bowie has revealed his new song - an epic 7 minute jazz Odyssey, 'Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)' on BBC Radio 6 Music. Check it out below.
Introducing the song on his afternoon slot, Elbow's Guy Garvey said: “Here’s another thing I never thought I’d find myself saying...Time now for the first play, anywhere ever in the world on the radio, of David Bowie's new song.
"It’s called Sue, it's seven and a half minutes of glorious Bowie-esque drama and it's my absolute privilege to play it on 6 music, the greatest radio station on Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, David Bowie and Sue..."
'Dance Magic Dance' it isn't, but it's certainly a silky but dramatic freeform, jazz odyssey, in which Bowie, in Guy Garvey's words, is "in fine voice." Here is an artist who can do whatever he wants, and relishes the opportunity to do so.
There's also hints of David Lynch in its offbeat, slightly unnerving soundscape. It'll be available to listen back to on the 6 Music page here, or hear it below.
'Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)' is released on 17 November in the UK, via Parlophone. The full lyrics are below.
Sue, I got the job
We’ll buy the house
You’ll need to rest
But now we’ll make it
Sue, the clinic called
The x-ray’s fine
I brought you home
I just said home
Sue, you said you wanted writ
“Sue the virgin” on your stone
For your grave
Why too dark to speak the words?
For I know that you have a son
Oh, folly, Sue
Ride the train I’m far from home
In a season of crime none need atone
I kissed your face
Sue, I pushed you down beneath the weeds
Endless faith in hopeless deeds
I kissed your face
I touched your face
Sue, Good-bye
Sue, I found your note
That you wrote last night
It can’t be right
You went with him
Sue, I never dreamed
I’m such a fool
Right from the start
You went with that clown
