Euroboy can't walk on water but crowds are easy Next I stumble across them on YouTube doing Suffragette City by David Bowie live only - dare I say it - better. And I'm a big Bowie fan. It's Bauhuas doing Ziggy Stardust all over again with a version that is higher powered and just that little bit faster - one of the few instances of a cover version being better than the original, in my humble opin...
