Reseña
Tercer y último álbum de la denominada Trilogía de Berlín, "Lodger" apareció el 18 de mayo de 1979 bajo el sello RCA y con producción de Tony Visconti y el propio David Bowie. Contó de nuevo con la colaboración de Brian Eno y en esta ocasión no incluía temas instrumentales, estando más orientado al estilo pop y rock, con inclusiones de tambores y guitarras.
Grabado en Suiza y Nueva York, "Lodger" resultó ser el que menor éxito comercial recabó de los tres grabados en la etapa berlinesa de Bowie. A pesar de ser más accesible al público, continúa siendo un álbum experimental y las críticas en los medios apenas lo destacaron.
Las grabaciones se realizaron a lo largo de 1978, durante las pausas de la gira mundial de Bowie. Los músicos que participaron en la grabación son los mismos de la gira. El guitarrista de los anteriores trabajos, Robert Fripp, fue sustituído por Adrian Belew. La conexión entre Brian Eno y David Bowie se estaba apagando y ya no salían chispas cuando se encerraban en el estudio, por lo que Eno comenzó a interesarse menos por el proyecto berlinés de Bowie.
"Lodger" está dividido en dos partes, una que nos habla de viajes, de otras culturas y de sonidos africanos, asiáticos o árabes. La segunda mitad del álbum, en cambio, nos trae de nuevo a occidente, con temas que critican nuestra forma de vida, con una visión apocalíptica de dicha sociedad.
Algunas partes experimentales del álbum incluyen cambios de instrumentos entre los músicos o la inserción de porciones de otos temas anteriores de Bowie reproducidos al revés.
La portada de "Lodger" era un desplegable diseñado por el artista británico Derek Boshier en la que aparece una fotografía deliberadamente realizada en baja resolución por el fotógrafo Brian Duffy mostrándonos a un David Bowie que ha sufrido un accidente, con la nariz rota.

[X]letra de Look Back in Anger
(Lyrics by Bowie
Music by Bowie/Eno)
"You know who I am," he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"It's time we should be going"
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger,
Driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger,
See it in my eyes
Till you come
No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger,
Driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger,
Feel it in my voice
Till you come
(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(repeat ad inf.) - Red Money
- Boys Keep SwingingVer letra
[X]letra de Boys Keep Swinging
Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy
Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy
When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you're a boy
Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out
Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy
They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy
When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys always work it out - DJVer letra
[X]letra de DJ
I'm home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
I've got a girl out there, I suppose
I think she's dancing
Feel like Dan Dare lies down
I think she's dancing, what do I know?
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, no, oh no
I am a D. J., I am what I play
I got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me, oh
One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can't turn around no, can't turn around no, ooh
I am a D. J., I am what I say
Can't turn around no, can't turn around, ooh
I am a D. J., I am what I play
I've got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can turn around no, can't turn around
I am a D. J., I am what I play
Can turn around no (kiss-kiss)
Time flies when you're having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and now he is a puppet dancer
I am a D. J., and I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers
I've got believers in me
I've got believers
I am a D. J., I am what I play
I am a D. J. - Red Sails
- Move On
- Yassassin (Turkish for Long Live)
- African Night FlightVer letra
[X]letra de African Night Flight
African nightmare one-time Mormon
More men fall in Hullabaloo men
I slide to the nearest bar
Undermine chairman
I went too far
Bent on a windfall
Rent a sony
Wonder
How the dollar went down
Gotta get a word to Elizabeth's father
Hey no, he wished me well
Seemed like another day
I could fly
Into the eye of god on high
His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through one of these days
Asanti habari habari habari
Asanti nabana nabana nabana
Getting in mood for a Mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna fly like a mad thing
Bare strip takeoff
Skimming over Rhino
Born in slumber less than peace
Struggle with a child
Whose screaming dreaming
Drowned by the props all steely sunshine
Sick of you, sick of me
Lust for the free life
Quashed and maimed
Like a valuable loved one
Left unnamed
Seemed like another day
I could fly
Into the eye of god on high
Over the bushland over the trees
Wise like Orangutan that was me
His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through one of these days

Asanti nabana nabana nabana - Fantastic VoyageVer letra
[X]letra de Fantastic Voyage
In the event
That this fantastic voyage
Should turn to erosion
And we never get old
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by, I suppose
It's a very modern world,
But nobody's perfect
It's a moving world,
But that's no reason
To shoot some of those missiles
Think of us as fatherless scum
It won't be forgotten
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we?
And the wrong words make you listen
In this criminal world
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable
But our lives are valuable too
We're learning to live with somebody's depression
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression
We'll get by I suppose
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down
And it won't be forgotten
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?
