Bryan Ferry Album

I'm in with the "In" crowd
I go where the "In" crowd goes
I'm in with the "In" crowd
And I know what the "In" crowd knows (How to have fun!)
Any time of the year, don't you hear? (How to have fun!)
Dressin' fine, makin' time
We breeze up and down the street
We get respect from people we meet
They make way day or night
They know the "In" crowd is out of sight

I'm in with the "In" crowd
I know ev'ry latest dance
When you're in with "In" crowd
It's easy to find romance (And we work out!)
At a spot where the beat's really hot (And we work out!)
If it's square we ain't there
We make ev'ry minute count
Our share is always the biggest amount
Other guys imitate us
But the original's still the greatest

We got our own way of walkin
We got our way of talkin' (Gotta have fun!)
Any time of the year, don't you hear (Gotta have fun!)
Spendin' cash, talkin' trash
Girl, I'll show you a real good time
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don't care where you've been
You ain't been nowhere till you been in with "In" crowd

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'll 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"

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's minds
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego
I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse
Criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Now the whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of Karma, says you reap, just what you sow
So unless you've, lived a life of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another
'Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way you do
Well I may be common people but i'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin you

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I
If I only, had the wings, of a little angel
Don't you know I'd fly, to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry

Well hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How I'm doing?
I guess I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
Yet it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away

How's your new love?
I hope he's doing fine
Heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just other day
Gee, ain't funny how time slips away

Gotta go now
Guess I'll see you around
Don't know when tho' never know
When I'll be back in town
But remember what I tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprising how time slips away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all someday

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the french I took
But I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

I don't claim to be an "A"-student, baby
But I tryin' to be
For maybe by being an "A"-student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the french I took
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want babe
I'm not the one you need
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door

But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for

Go lightly from the legde babe
Go lightly on the ground
I'm not the one you want babe
I'd only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone who will die for you and more

But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for

Go melt back in to the night babe
Everything inside is made of stone
There's nothin' in here and that's a moving
And anyway I'm not alone
You say you're lookin' for someone
To pick up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And to come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more

But it ain't me babe
No, no, no
It ain't me babe
It ain't me that you're looking for

I used to jump when you called
And I would cry when you leave
I had to plan every move
Just to keep you pleased
But I don't care no more
About nothing you do
Now I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
I got bags under my eyes
From losin' sleep
You gave me malnutrition
'Cause I just couldn't eat
But I don't care no more
About nothin' you do, boo hoo
'Cause I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you
You never bought me no clothes
I had to steal what I wear
I wore shoes so long
'Til my feet were bare
But I don't care no more
About nothin' you do, oh no
And I'm goin' shoppin'
Finger, fingerpoppin' on you

Take the rippon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Laying soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light.
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
It's so sad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.

I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips...
So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough - I'm quite alone
Still, there no sound
So I spin-a-disc around and around
And slide the needle in the groove...

Drive down any highway baby
But don't bid me adieu
Through a sea of twisting by-ways
I'll be trailing you
Eternity'll solve our problem
Take it as you may
And destiny will stand corrected
Should we connect some day

Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love to share with you

Deep emotion springs from this life
Wells up inside
Quick, pick me up and pour me over
The clouds crying by

Another time - to spend
Another place - to go
Another love this time it's true

Anyway you want me lover
Used to be your tune
I looked you up - you looked me over
My lucky strike won through
I was cut, dried and discarded
Just a rusty blade
But since I found my four leaf clover
I've seen the light again

All the tears
In the world
Seem to fall from you
At their
Rainbow's end
A halcyon day
Or two
How soon
We fool ourselves
How slow
We tread
Astral planes
Collide head on
And on and on we glide
As if forever
