I Dig Everything

I Dig Everything b/w I'm Not Losing Sleep was Bowie's August 1966 follow-up to Do Anything You Say. It was followed by a series of singles (and his first album) on Decca's Deram subsidiary (compiled on The Deram Anthology 1966-1968), the first being Rubber Band. Bowie later rerecorded this track for his unreleased 2001 album "Toy".

I've got the village I love I walk along beside the garbagemen and I dig everything I wave to the policemen, but they don't wave back They don't dig anything Ain't had a job for a year or more and I don't know a thing Everything's spent and I dig everything Everything's spent and I dig everything Dig I feed the lions in Trafalgar Square and I dig everything I've sit just behind my window, till my cigarettes were low and dug Everything Got a backstreet room in the bad part of town and I dig everything I'd see people in the street below, who don't know where they're going They don't dig anything Everything's spent and I dig everything Everything's spent and I dig everything Dig I've got more friends than I've had hot dinners Some of them were losers, but the rest of them are winners Rick, John, Sally, a connection named Paul Holy low on money, their intentions are tall We smoke and talk in my room and we dig everything Dig I've made myself at home I've made good friends which the time-check girl on the end of the phone All the movie shows I sunbathe for love Even when it's not too hot 'Cause I dig everything Oh yeah
