All the young dudes movie

The hero of The Last of the High Kings is leaving school as the film begins. To mark his release, he doesn't stuff the toilets with tissue paper or urinate up against the staff-room window like any normal boy.

With its dirge -like music, youth suicide references and calls to an imaginary audience, the song bore similarities to Bowie's own " Rock 'n' Roll Suicide ", the final track from Ziggy Stardust.
