Yes, it's true!
That's a little-known fact and it was hushed up for fear of controversy;
David Bowie wrote that song "8 More Days Till Halloween (Silver Shamrock)" because he had some leftover contract days from "Cat People" and they wanted to use them up. So he went down to the local pub and scrawled it on a napkin in a drunken rage and stabbed the napkin with his pen so hard that the ink on the paper was driven permanently into the mahogany countertop. If you know where the pub is (I do) you can read the lyrics to this day. They tried sanding over the words several times but after a few days the words reappeared so eventually they just gave up. True story.
