"Sweet Thing" is a song written by David Bowie for the album '' Diamond Dogs '' in 1974 . Its intense lyrics focus on Sadomasochistic homosexual relationships. The song is split in two with " Candidate " in the middle. "TRAGIC MOMENTS/ZION/ALADDIN VEIN" A track now referred to as "Zion" has also appeared on bootlegs under the titles "Aladdin Vein", "Love Aladdin Vein", "A Lad in Vein",Nicholas Pegg (2000). Op Cit: pp.249-250 and "A Lad in Vain". ''Naked & Wired'' at Bassman's David Bowie Page Incorporating parts reminiscent of " Aladdin Sane " and what would become "Sweet Thing (Reprise)" on '' Diamond Dogs '', this instrumental piece was generally thought to have been recorded during the '' Aladdin Sane '' sessions at Trident Studios early in 1973. However a recent estimate places it alongside recordings for '' Pin Ups '' later that year, as a preview of Bowie's next original work, leading author Nicholas Pegg to suggest that it "perhaps ought to be regarded more as a ''Diamond Dogs'' demo than an ''Aladdin Sane'' out-take". A 1973 article about Bowie recording ''PinUps'' in France accurately describes the song, which seems to confirm Pegg's theory: LIVE VERSIONS
