This song was originally titled "borderline" - I don't think Bowie and Iggy
had BPD in mind though.Iggy was in love with an unavailable Vietnamese woman, and the "shhhhh..."
in the lyric was her response while he told her of his feelings.Bowie's interpretation is excellent, but I think Iggy's is the definitive version.
Less pop and more raw.Love this song...epic...
