“Sell Me A Coat;” Shares elements of “Uncle Arthur,” as it gives a clear picture of Bowie’s purest voice, however the general tone and subject of the song is tổng thể thêm sombre thanks to the introduction of a slower rhythm and dejected plaint from Bowie.

“Silly Boy Blue;” Is the youthful outpourings of a less mature Bowie. The conglomeration of his childhood experiences under the collective heading of ‘school’. This track was clearly written earlier than the others – possibly when Bowie had just graduated, as it is still permeated with the essence of classroom chit-chat and the casual derisions which peers deal out to each other.
So, with a hint of green still gently petering out behind Bowie’s ears, this song marks his musical maturity as having reached a point; a point which it remains on for the entire CD, but which is only just...
