Just picking up on the fact that this was written ten years prior to Scary Monsters. Glad he waited to officially release it, as the SM arrangement elevates the track to something magnificent.

For what it's worth, I saw the Lazarus show (someone gave me tickets) and like a lot of Broadway-ish stuff, it was largely stupid and partly great, and I'm sure the cast album contains mostly stupid. I walked out of it reasonably happy to have seen it. Some visual bits that I won't forget, a bunch of bad versions of Bowie songs, a few good ones, etc.

A/Bing the Lazarus and Bowie tracks, kind of crazy how dry the former sounds. it's a decent attempt, they are playing the same arrangement, even indulging in that "bad" singing, but it still sounds so clean and sterile compared to Bowie's.

more fair to say DB only wrote the bridge melody/lyric (mostly) in 1970; the rest of "Game" was new
