I uploaded this video because a lot of people neglect David's earlier work. This song is a work of a pure genius and i want people to notice something other than "White Ladder" album.

Though the song cannot be found on the album on the picture of this video, I found it better than the original cover of the album "Flesh".

Enjoy the song:

What are you becoming?

What have you become?

Once you sang your own song

Now youre dancing to the same drum

What have you become

What is that you're wearing

Moneys ugly confidence

Sacrifice the poem of your imagination

For these pounds and pence

Me, I'll take the cynics role

Throw scorn on your empty mime

I've seen the monotonous world

Make the dull what used to shine

You lost interest, you lost your spine

That's fine, fine, fine

When there's nothing left

On this plate you're handed

You'll find yourself running the gauntlet

Of all of these double standards

It's very thin ice over which youre skating

And after this black winter, the thaw

So what are you?

Tell me, tell me what are you?

And what have you become?
