"The End of the World Address"

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

"The End of the World Address" was a lost song written by David Bowie and Brian Eno in 1977. It was the third track on side one of Profile, the second half of his double album Low/Profile which was destroyed by the Nemenoids. The song ran for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, and featured backing vocals and tambourine by Panda. It was preceded in the album by "Resonance" and followed by "Oh, Marlene".

The song was inspired by a night-long siege upon Bowie's recording studio by the Nemenoids, during which Bowie wrote a final note to the universe on the back of a torn cigarette packet, expecting not to survive the night. Earlier in the day, Brian Eno had created a new keyboard melody which was used on the song. Panda recalled that the song was originally intended as a pure instrumental track but that they decided to repeatedly take turns to read out the lyrics written by Bowie as a statement over the music in a loop.
