I heard Bowie talking about his thinking behind this song - he just wanted to write his version of 'My Way'.

Yes, in fact on the BBC's Sold On Song site (one of the inspirations for this site), it says that he had already done an interpretation of the French song that "My Way" is based on and was annoyed when Paul Anka's translation of the same song became a hit.
Which is interesting, but what I'm really interested in hearing is not what Bowie thought he was doing, but how you, me and other people interpret what he did.
