The Hearts Filthy Lesson“ (no apostrophe in “Hearts“ [sic]) is a song by David Bowie, from his 1995 album Outside, and issued as a single ahead of the album. It showcased Bowie’s new, industrial-influenced sound. Lyrically, the single connects with the rest of the album, with Bowie offering a lament to “tyrannical futurist“ Ramona A. Stone, a theme continued in subsequent songs. The song is also meant to confront Bowie’s own perceptions about the ritual creation and degradation of art.
