I had heard the song in a compilation that I had bought a couple of years ago to get to know Bowie's music and see what the fuss was all about-he was never as popular in my country as he has been in the UK or America.
So the cd was playing and I wasn't paying attention to the song titles,and I've always thought the lyric was "My TV is on fire".Checking out the song listing a couple of days ago made me realize my mistake.Dung.Mental retardation...
