"Suffragette City" - David Bowie Privé

Suffragette City - David Bowie

A song about San Francisco
“Suffragette City” is a ball of agitation, the frenzied thoughts and speech of someone who's sure he's going to get laid if only things would work out for him, if his deadbeat roommate would just get the hell out of the house for once, or if his boyfriend wouldn't mind if he just brought this chick over for a bit.

“Suffragette City” is a sex comedy more than it’s any sort of incitement to violence, while any glamour it has is second-hand, courtesy of the guitars. Rather than being a menacing, smooth figure like Alex in Clockwork Orange, the singer is an adolescent mess

She hails from “Suffragette City,” suggesting a brave new world of liberated women who exist purely to torture him. -- The “wham! bam!” ending suggests she did just that.
