Lyrics:

La la la la la la, la la la la la la la

A winter's day, a bitter snowflake on my face

My summer girl takes little backward steps away

Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost ain't so cool

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that's red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold

And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away

Not like before, her smile was warming yesterday

See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that's red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold

See my eyes, my windowpane

See my tears like gentle rain

That's the memory of a summer day

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that's red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that's red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold

La la la la la la, la la la la la la (repeat)

That guitar player looks familiar, looks like a dude from The Herd or something. Although that was a very common look at the time.

When I first saw the title of this one (some years ago), I thought "whaaaaaaat"! Excellent, though. My favourite Bowie album. Once again, I'm surprised that there's footage

@cpskadatisberg And he was SOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! He did have that slight sex appeal here, but not really burning through as much as his Ziggy days ;D He'll always look gorgeous to me though! No matter what age!

I've not heard this version B4, shame on me. I have been a fan since 1972 when I first saw him play Radio City Music Hall. So that is Hermione, huh? From one of my fave songs on Space Oddity! (Letter to Hermione) I am completely JAZZED that I stumbled accross this gem! :)

never heard this version with the harmonies on it. This is one of his better earlier ones. I'm quite enjoying this!

@wurzelkater i think she is Hermione Farthingale. Bowie met her through Lindsay Kemp. She became Bowie's girlfriend and they lived together for a short while in London in 1968!

I don't know what happened to my reply...something wrong with youtube? The girl is Hermione Farthingale, Bowie's exgirlfriend...He wrote Letter to Hermione after she left him for a dancer.
