i also appreciated the story of coo2kachoo. found it very honest and funny too :);)

the first comment on this page about one of the greatest bowie songs is just bullshit. i just didnt see ANY clues, guiding to holocaust...

my opinion about the song is, that it reflects bowies attitude towards soul asylums, in an ambivalent way. on the one hand, he never gave himself in the hands of psychiatric help at all, on the other hand, in this song, he shows feelings, that reflect a open minded attitude. so to say, he idealizes the life and the people in asylums, as self opted parias. flavor this, with some personal history about his brother and i think, you have the meaning. at least an interesting meaning ;)
