'' Entertainment Weekly '' included the video for " Time Will Crawl " in their list of top 20 Bowie videos after he died in 2016 , and praised Bowie 's performance , saying " ... just pay attention to the way Bowie moves in this clip . There 's no wasted motion , and every hair flip and tumble recovery has real meaning . Even when not dressed as Ziggy Stardust or Aladdin Sane , you still could n't take your eyes off of him . " " Time Will Crawl " was written solely by Bowie . The B-side , " Girls " , has lyrics and production done by the singer and Erdal Kızılçay . A limited 7 " single was issued in some territories whose sleeve folded out to a double-sided poster . The " Extended dance mix " was remixed by co-producer Richards , and the " Dance Crew Mix " by Chris Lord-Alge . For the Japanese version of " Girls " ( sung by Bowie in Japanese ) , Kiri Teshigahara was the language coach and Hiro Hozumi translated the lyrics . All tracks were made available for digital download in 2007
