useractually a nice song. not in bowie's top. but it's managed to retain some charm. and the video is stylish. better than some of other videos from that decade.

My friend has been a die hard Nirvana fan for 9 years and he would disagree
user

user
My favorite Bowie song he rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
user
the vid is intresting but this is seriously bowie worst era...its so generic 80's pop jazz, his 70's stuff rocks, his sixties unique and so different every time, 90's forgetable...but never let me down lanks the soul, rawness and invention that bowie is /was the master of

The 80's were good to Bowie up until about the release of Blue Jean. I mean Scary Monsters, Baal EP, and Let's Dance are all good pieces, and this song despite sounding like Absolute Beginners part 2 is probably the highlight of his post Blue-Jean 80's. But yes this album and Tonight were both disturbingly bad.

TeenageWildlife, Seattle & Aberdeen are "both" in Washington. Same crap difference for same crap 90s music. The only reason anyone liked Nirvana was because they always screamed into the mic pretending they were so deep simply because they were screaming. People fell for it. Posers.

I beg to disagree. He was funny, ironic, didn't set out to be deep. Kurt was basically a musical archivist of the 80's American underground and you see all the influences in his work.. Sonic Youth (dissonance), The Vaselines (sad pop melodies, string arrangements), The Melvins (sludgy dirgey songs), Killing Joke, Pixies, among others. But as we're both Bowie fans, I think it's all good. Nirvana was NEVER in the same league as someone like Alice in Chains who were a hair metal band in disguise.

Looking back now, this is the timeless one from that 1987 LP. Thanks.

Under-rated Bowie song, a real gem.

Lyrics:
When I believed in nothing I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance till it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival I called your name
When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance till it made me cry
You were shaking like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing call my name
When you've got nothing coming call my name
I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks
Dance my little dance till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down, oh no
When I believed in nothing I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name
And though my days were slipping by
And nights so cruel I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance till it made me cry
She was shaking like this honey doing that
When I needed soul revival I called your name
When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real swept over me
You danced your little dance till it made me cry
You were shaking like this honey doing that
Never let me down
She never let me down
Never let me down
She never let me down
When all your faith is failing call my name
When you've got nothing coming call my name
I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks
Dance my little dance till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that
Never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down, oh no
