Song Meaning
Watch That Man
Watch That Man is a story about a person who was drunk. If you are drunk, you do not know what you were doing so there is always a warning that if you saw a man who is drunk while you are walking in the road, you must avoid this kind of person. -- Autolady006 04:59, 24 February 2007 (PST)
Reviews
The album is fabulous. In the title track Alladin Sane, David's voice is soft and a perfect tone for the tone of the song. Drive In Saturday is a slow song. Cracked Actor has the most driving guitar riff i ever heard. Let's Spend The Night Together is a good interpretation. Jean Genie, great guitar and drumwork. The album is full of rock songs. -- Autolady006 05:01, 24 February 2007 (PST)
