Roxy Music - The Platinum Collection [compilation] (2006) by Roxy Music (보컬) on maniadb.com

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I´ll take it
To Robert E. Lee I´ll show it
I hope and pray he don´t blow it ´cause
We´ve been around a long time just try try try tryin´ to

Make the big time...
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wonder but don´t you
Don´t you throw my pride aside besides
What´s real and make believe
Baby Jane´s in Acapulco We are flyin´ down to Rio

Throw me a line I´m sinking fast
Clutching at straws can´t make it
Havana sound we´re trying hard edge the hipster jiving
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You´re so sheer you´re so chic

Teenage rebel of the week
Flavours of the mountain steamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise
Open up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two got to search for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That´s where I´ll make my stand but wait
Can´t you see that Holzer mane?
What´s her name Virginia Plain

(Ferry)
Couldn't sleep a wink last night
Oh how I'd love to hold you tight
They say you have a secret life
Made sacrifice your key to paradise
Never mind, take the world by storm
Just boogaloo a rhapsody divine
Take a sweet girl just like you
How nice if only we could bill and coo
I may seem a fool to you for ev'rything I say or think or do
How could I apologise for all those lies
The world may keeps us far apart but up in heaven, angel
You can have my heart
Diamonds may be your best friend
But like laughter after tears
I'll follow you to the end

(Ferry)
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
Do the Strand love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the Strand
Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer
Laissez-faire Le Strand
Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the Strand
Had your fill of Quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the Beguine
The samba isn't your scene
They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like the Strand
Arabs at oasis
Eskimos and Chinese
If you feel blue
Look through Who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreen
It lasts forever
But it can't beat Strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Did the Strand

Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there's no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now I'm blinded I can't really see - yeah
No more bright lights confusing me - no
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
'Cause loving you is all I can do
Hey good-looking boys - gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind,
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Street Life
Street Life
Street Life
What a Life
Back to nature boys - Vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
Education is an important key - yes
But the good life's never won by degrees - no
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale
Week end starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
And that's really something

Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you're leaving me
We're through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you'd change your mind
I'm sure
Don't want to hear
What's going on
I don't care
What's new
Don't want to know
About anything
Cause all I want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don't want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I've a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L'amour, toujours l'amour
Don't want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You're starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can't refuse
All I want is you
Oo oo I'm all cracked up on you.

They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
They said someday you??쨈ll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

'T ain't no big thing to wait for the bell to ring
't ain't no big thing the toll of the bell.

Aggravated spare for days
I troll down town the redlight place
Jump up bubble up what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score.

Showing out showing out Hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stiched up tight can't shake free
Love is the drug got a hook on me
Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh can't you see love is the drug for me.

Late at night I parked my car
staked my place in the singles bar.
Face to face toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor.

Lumbered up limbo down
The locked embrace stumble round
I say go she say yes
Dim the lights you can guess the rest.

Oh catch the buzz

Please don't ever let me down
'Cause you know I'm not so sure
Do I have the speed to carry on
Burn you out of my mind, I know
You're a flame that never fades
Jungle red's a deadly shade
Both ends burning, will the fires keep
Somewhere deep in my soul tonight
Both ends burning
Burning
Burn
Now my course is plain as day
Running bold across to play
Both ends burning with a strange desire
That feeds the fire in my soul tonight
I will dance the night away
Living only for today
Both ends burning while you're counting sheep
Hell-- who can sleep in this heat this night?
Tell me will I ever learn?
It's too late, the rush is on
Both ends burning and I can't control
The fires raging in my soul tonight
Oh will it never end?
Put your foot around the bend
Drive me crazy to an early grave
Tell me what is there to save tonight
Both ends burning
Burning
Burn
Keep on burning till the end, until the end
Keep on burning till the end, the very end

And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together now
You ought to make it stick together
Come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

But now you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Come on now baby give our love a try
Let's stick together, c'mon c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

Then if you're stuck for a while consider our child
How can it be happy without its ma and pa
Let's stick together, c'mon c'mon let's stick together
You know we made a vow to leave one another never

Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh we cry
We know not why

Lipstick 'n leather wear 'n tear
Off another sign of the times
We're chained and bound
Hard lines crack down
On stony ground

Here is a taste of here and now
Red is the bloody sign of the times
The bride stripped bare
Of all despair

We're cut but we don't care
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
Light up in anger I'll be there
Fight for a sign of the times

We live we die
We laugh and we cry
We know not why
Bent on a life between the lines
End on a sign of the times

Are you customized or ready-made?
Heavy metal trick or treat?
Only seventeen

On the level trash is neat
Teenage fever oh you've got it bad
Caught the flavor want it all
Only seventeen

Bet you know the trash I mean
Row your features into magazines
Go to Plaza, where's the trade?
Only seventeen

Slips are lower trash is in

Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said "it's love" you said "all right"
It's funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now I'm in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
Dance away
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away

Oh angel eyes
Am I deceived or did you sigh?
For all I know you let your love light Shine on me

Oh angel eyes
You never close, who's got the time?
Well I can wait until your love light Shine on me

Oh angel eyes
Seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me

Oh angel eyes
On the wing and opened wide
Now matter now how how the moon Shine down on me

[Repeat: x4]
Angel, angel eyes

<i>Lyrics &copy; Universal Music Publishing Group</i>

Oh baby this is nowhere.
Wish I was somewhere - over you.
Your sweet lips tell me there's no chance
No more romance - over you.

Oh baby
how can I go on.
Crying so long - over you.
Where strangers look for new love
I'm so lost in love - over you.

Some day
yes
it might come
babe

When I'll bebabe - over you.
And always up to that moment
I will try to say I'm - over you.

Oh baby
how can I go on?
Crying so long - over you.
Where stranger look for new love
I'm so lost in love - over you.

Some expression in your eyes
overtook me by surprise

where was I
how was I to know ?
How we can drive to a movie show
when the music is here in my car ?
There's a band playing on the radio
with a rhythm of rhyming guitars

they're playing
oh yeah
on the radio.

And so it came to be our song

and so on through all summer long

day and night drifting on into love.
Driving you home from a movie show
so in tune to the sounds in my car.
There's a band playing on the radio
...

It's some time since we said goodbye
and now we lead our seperate lives.
But where am I
where can I go ?
Driving alone to a movie show
so I turn to the sounds in my car.
There's a band playing on the radio
and it's drowing the sound of my tears.
They're playing
oh yeah
on the radio.

nothing lasts forever
of that I'm sure
now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
young loving may be
oh so mean
will I still survive
the same old scene?
in our lighter moments
precious few
it's all that heavy weather
we're going through
when I turn the corner
I can't believe
it's still the same old movie
that's haunting me
young loving may be
oh so mean
trying to revive
the same old scene
young loving may be
so extreme
maybe we should try
the same old scene

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

CHORUS
More than this-there is nothing
More than this-tell me one thing
More than this-thre is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

CHORUS

Now the party's over
I'm so tired.
Then I see you coming out of nowhere.
Much communication in a motion

Without conversation or a notion. - Avalon
Where the samba takes you out of nowhere
And the background's fading out of focus.
Yes the picture's changing every moment

and your destination you don't know it. - Avalon
Dancing
dancing
dancing
@ dancing.
When you bossa nova there's no holding

Would you have me dancing out of nowhere. - Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon

As they say, two can play
But keep that song away from me
In my time, too much love
Has made me sad for so long

I was blind, can't you see
Through the long, lonely night
Heaven knows I believe
Won't you take a chance with me

Sometimes I get so blue
People say I'm just a fool
All the world, even you
Should learn to love the way I do

I was lost, can't you see
Through the long, lonely night
Haven knows, I believe
You can take a chance with me

Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
There's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
No I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
