The Man Who Sold the World is an album by David Bowie. It was originally
released on Mercury Records in November 1970 in the United States and in April
1971 in the UK. The album was Bowie's first with the nucleus of what would
become the 'Spiders from Mars', the backing band made famous by The Rise
and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars in 1972.

The lyrics are also cited as reflecting Bowie's concerns with splintered or multiple
personalities, and are believed to have been partially inspired by the poem
"Antigonish" by William Hughes Mearns:

Yesterday upon the stair

I met a man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

I wish, I wish, he'd stay away

Lodger is an album by British singer-songwriter David Bowie, released in 1979.
The last of the 'Berlin Trilogy' recorded in collaboration with Brian Eno (though
in fact produced in Switzerland and New York), it was more accessible than its
immediate predecessors Low and "Heroes", having no instrumentals and being
somewhat lighter and more pop-oriented.
