	Actors - Eight Line Poem

"Eight Line Poem" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory
. It is something of a second part to "Oh! You Pretty Things" since the two flow together without any separation. It is a laidback song with simple piano and country-tinged guitar. As the title suggests, Bowie sings only eight lines.

Live versions

Bowie played the song at the BBC show "Sounds of the 70s" with Bob Harris September 21st, 1971. This was broadcast on October 4th, 1971 and it was released in 2000 on the album Bowie at the Beeb.

Other releases

A remix of the song appeared as the B-side to the very rare promo single "Bombers
" released in November 1971.
