As per Autobiography, he wrote of Tina Dehghani: "Tina is my first experience of uncluttered commitment"
"Tina and I discuss the unthinkable act of producing a mewling miniature monster

That was a cat & mouse game for the ages. M dodged a real bullet there.
 
He's written some very observational and witty things about children over the years.

But it's important to note that his disdain is usually directed at 'other people's children'

These spring to mind:



Children in pieces
In Irish industrial schools
Nuns called mothers
And their christian brothers
Kick the shit out of very frightened children

You say you wanna go home
You say you wanna be left alone
And so you turn to me
But instead of sympathy I find
My sentimental heart hardens
Get your hands off me
Kid, you must be bad luck
My sentimental heart hardens




Everyone has babies
Babies full of rabies
Rabies full of scabies
Scarlet has a fever
Ring is full of ringworm
Angel of disdain
Poor little fella has got rubella
Liver full of fungus
Junior full of gangrene
Mine is melanoma
Tike full of gripe
Whippersnapper's scurvy
Urchin made of acne
Get that thing away from me

There is nothing witty about Neil C. Absolutely atrocious song with beyond stupid lyrics.
 
Rather oddly, I've just caught the end of a documenty about Bowie, and Dana Gillespie closed it by saying:

"Why cry for his death? The time to cry is when a child is born, because you know they are in for a life of hell and shit and pain. Don't cry when they die, because that's when they are free again, and go back to being stardust. I think David is stardust now"

I really do enjoy that outlook.

Stupid or not, on looking again, I think the lyrics in my post were transposed incorrectly from where I obtained them online. I've just edited the original post for a hopefully more accurate reading.
 
The thing is, he has previously wanted to have children. I do feel immense empathy for him in this regard; that he did once harbour dreams of enjoying being a parent.

See here, he talks about it at 6:55



I'm not aware of him ever commenting on it in interviews ever since. But I think we can assume he's thought about it a lot over the years.

voted wally of the year and he keeps a straight face,funny.
