Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress who rose to stardom in the silent film era of the 1920s. It was her appearance as a spunky shopgirl in the film It that brought her global fame and the nickname "The It Girl." Bow came to personify the roaring twenties and is described as its leading sex symbol. She appeared in 46 silent films and 11 talkies, including hits such as Mantrap (1926), It (1927) and Wings (1927). She was named first box-office draw in 1928 and 1929 and second box-office draw in 1927 and 1930. Her presence in a motion picture was said to have ensured investors, by odds of almost 2-to-1, a "safe return". In January 1929, at the apex of her stardom, she received more than 45,000 fan letters. After marrying actor Rex Bell in 1931, Bow ended her career in 1933 with the film Hoop-La, becoming a rancher in Nevada.
Clara Bow was born in 1905 in a slum tenement in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, New York, where she was also raised. Bow was the third child; the first two, also daughters, born in 1903 and 1904, died in infancy. Her mother, Sarah Bow (née Gordon, 1880–1923), was told by a doctor not to become pregnant again for fear the next baby might die as well. Despite the doctor's warning, Sarah Bow became pregnant with Clara in the fall of 1904. In addition to the risky pregnancy, a heat wave besieged New York in July 1905 and temperatures peaked around 100°F; the infant mortality rate rose to 80%. "I don't suppose two people ever looked death in the face more clearly than my mother and I the morning I was born. We were both given up, but somehow we struggled back to life".

so if you want it,
straight from the core,
so if you need it,
I'm lettin' it show,
I'm missing you so(oh oh).
And since you wanted a change,I know,
I could back up but I lost my flow,
everything I couldn't find I lost.
I know someone had to go,
So I'm on my own, again.
So if you mean it,
I'm letting you go,
I guess I've seen it,
I've been here before.
I'm missing you so. (oh oh).
And since you wanted a change,I know,
I could back up but I lost my flow,
everything I couldn't find I lost.
I know someone had to go,
I'm naked
I'm numb
I'm stupid
I'm staying
And if Cupid's got a gun, then he's shootin'
Lights black
Heads bang
You're my drug
We live it
You're drunk, you need it
Real love, I'll give it
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
You wasted your times
On my heart
You've burned
And if bridges gotta fall, then you'll fall, too
Doors slam
Lights black
You're gone
Come back
Stay gone
Stay clean
I need you to need me
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
Now we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
I wanna thank you for nothing
Someday, as I look at the sun
I think of you
And traces we leave behind
Like a fallen piece we’ll make a better start
But still end up alone
Looking down upon a place inside our heart
Dividing us in two
Somewhere, all that we leave behind
Lingers on, longing for lullabies
You live, you learn
You love, you burn
You win, you lose
Becoming you
Someday, when I cry in the rain
I think of you
Looking through eyes of pain
Passing on a feeling that we can’t deny
Over on to you
Fading memory is soon becoming blind
Dividing us in two
Somewhere
All that we leave behind
Lingers on
Longin for lullabies
You live, you learn
You love, you burn
You win, you lose
3 AM,
honey where´ve you been?
cell turned off I waited here
by the phone again
just like last night
Think I can
sort of understand
what your life´s like
all new friends
all the parties and
how you win them
3 AM, now it´s 3AM
Will not let my sadness show
how the tension grows
miss you so and
I pretend
I can feel your hands
and arms around me
trying to fall asleep again
sleep again it´s 3 AM
3 AM, soon the day will break
your voice so close
your lips are so far away
and our words they
fly around across the ocean and
disappearing somewhere over New Foundland
"Oh I love you"
3 AM, now it´s 3 AM
when will you be back again
and do you think we can
keep our love for ever more?
did we let it go?
Or Is it still beautiful?
Do we care at all?
Lost again at 3 AM
Maybe we could make it alright
We could make it better sometime
Maybe we could make it happen baby
We could keep trying, but things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I am dying with every step I take
But I don't look back
Just a little little bit better
Good enough to waste some time
Tell me would it make you happy baby?
We could keep trying, but things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I am dying with every step I take
But I don't look back.
We could keep trying, but things will never change
So I don't look back
Still I am dying with every step I take
But I don't look back
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
I watched you begin again
Had it all figured out
See what you got, from knocking on heaven's door
You put yourself to rest down a river
When you woke up you were touched by an angel
Nothing left to be found
Nowhere to be safe, you've been here before
So, you're down on your knee's
Begging for ends to meet
You went up, you went down all around
But there's nothing to be found
Am I gonna see you next autumn
I'll be there when you're falling
It's alright, no doubt, somehow
You will find your way
Am I gonna see you?
Am I gonna see you?
Paying the price based on an ending
See what you've done
You got nowhere to run, after knocking on heaven's door
You lay yourself to rest down the river
When you woke up were touched by an angel
Nothing left to be found
Nowhere to be safe
You've been here before
So, you're down on your knees
Begging for ends to meet
You went up, you went down all around
But there's nothing to be found
Am I gonna see you next autumn
I'll be there when you're falling
It's alright, no doubt
You will find your way
Am I gonna see you next autumn
I'll be there when you're falling
It's alright
I'm naked
I'm numb
I'm stupid
I'm staying
And if Cupid's got a gun, then he's shootin'
Lights black
Heads bang
You're my drug
We live it
You're drunk, you need it
Real love, I'll give it
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
You wasted your times
On my heart
You've burned
And if bridges gotta fall, then you'll fall, too
Doors slam
Lights black
You're gone
Come back
Stay gone
Stay clean
I need you to need me
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
Now we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
