Bryan Ferry Album

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

My sun is set - and my day is done
When I turn to the east I can see no dawn
But iron horse come - buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
Yes I know what it is to be free
To run as far as the eye can see
But long knife come - buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Here is a girl who's working in a factory
Spends all her time there thinking what she want to be
She got no boyfriend - she got no window
She just a lonely heart - it's tearing me apart
There's a boy now doesn't have a word to say
Cat got your tongue now - night to night and day to day
He got no girl friend - he got no money
He just a lonely heart - it's tearing me apart
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Everywhere I go there's a world full of heartbreak
Hole in the sky now - tell me where for God's sake
Where is that sunshine? where is that rainbow?
Who got an answer here? tell me what I want to know
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody cares - nobody but me
And James Bond, Jackie O, Johnnie Ray and Garbo
Who got an answer here? tell me what I want to know
Why in the world are you so cruel?

I'm goin' down
Down down down
I'm going down
Down down down
I've got my big feet on the ground

I'm goin' down
Down down down
I'm goin' down
Going back underground

Oh let me down without a sound
I'm going down down down down
I'm going down down down down down
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh again, all my tears are gone

I'm goin' down
Down down down
I'm goin' down
Down down down
You're gonna miss me after all
At midnight, when all your tears are gone

Marilyn says I got nothing to wear tonite
Only a pair of diamond earrings that catch the light
Platinum blonde - is it true that you have more fun
Siberia - now I'm sad and all alone

Goddess of love
I can't go on without you - oh I want you
Goddess of love
Nobody cares like I do - what can I do?

Marilyn says all the best things in life are free
Speaking of friends will you spend a little time with me
Walking alone down the cold wet boulevard
Siberia - is the beating of your heart

Goddess of love
You make it hard to work out - when you want out
Goddess of love
You twist and tear my heart out - when you walk out

Goddess of love
Never a day goes by
Goddess of love
When I don't cry

Maybe I'll find a way - living from day to day
Look what you done tonight - niagara falls tonight

Goddess of love
I can't go on without you oh I want you
Goddess of love
Nobody cares like I do - what can I do?
Goddess of love
Never a day goes by
Goddess of love
When I don't cry

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break o' dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
on't think twice, it's all right
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right
So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's all right

When the heat is on you rant and rave
Your poison pen your shotgun slave
You realize life's not the same
Your tortured sighs they fall like rain
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me

When the cold wind blows I think of you
Your emerald eyes your golden shoes
You walk away from my rage
On the flaggy shore I watch the waves
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me

Vermilion sky I don't think so
A cigarette and voices low
What should I do - what could I say
What's goin on, let's drift away

Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
[to fade]

Ja nun hons pris ne dira sa raison
Adroitement, se dolantement non
Mais par effort il faire chancon
Mout ai amis, mais povre sunt li don

In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings

So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
And love is blind

A crowded street
An empty train
A fool for love
You cry in vain

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

In days gone by
There was a queen
A fool for love
And all it means

Red ruby lips
Don't touch me eyes
A fool for love
And love is blind

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

Like flowers in the rain
I'm twisted up inside
I'll never be the same

I hear the same old lines
You played me for a fool
You really hurt my pride

A fool for love
A fool for love
A fool for love

In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings

So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
And love is blind

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you was too young
I wish to the Lord I'd never seen your face
or heard your lying tongue
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I have a great notion
to jump into the river and drown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
stop stayin' out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
sit down by the fireside bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
I love Irene God knows I do
love her till the sea run dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Unconscious in Versailles
Press play begin
See my life flash by
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour
I wake up in Chiang-Mai
Think I must jack in
I hear the wild girls cry
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour
You make me weep
You make me moan
A thousand suns
And then you're gone
Blade runner in the night
Burn out Berlin
Oh neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour

Walk up the driveway
Endlessly curving
Go through the front door
It's so inviting
Baronial Great Hall
Once so exciting
Haunted by shadows
Faces in hiding.
San Simeon
San Simeon

Chair by the fire
I feel a tremor
Silent reminder
You used to be there
You are the princess
My wanders wake you
Fantasy playmate
Candle light lover
San Simeon
San Simeon

Teasing in French
Lace exotic promise
So undemanding
Yet understanding
Each wall a picture
Some of his best work
Delicate touches
They're simply charming
Coffee table culture
Full colour pages
Props archetypal
Floral arrangement
Stereogram cabinet
Walnut veneer
True reproduction
No one can hear
San Simeon
San Simeon

Tigerskin rug love
I stroke - you bite me
Executive leather
Uupholstered tightly
In the next room
Cocktails at seven
Soft lights, sweet music
Lounge thru' eleven
Just walk in the garden
French windows open
Patio paving
Concrete and crazy
Roses in blossom
They're doing well this year
Geranium pattern
S hrub topiary
Lie on my lush lawn
Waterfall burdens
Drink at my fountain

Forget all your troubles
Forget all your troubles
Forget all your troubles
San Simeon
San Simeon
[To fade]

I thought I could find the kind of girl
Who'd think that I was the only guy in the world
No more half-hearted kisses, oh that's bad enough
Oh-oh-oh, no more teardrops, no one-way love
One-way love
Don't look for someone who likes to love fast
You know that that kind of love will never last
If she's fast and furious, oh that can be tough
Oh-oh-oh, no more teardrops, no one-way love
One-way love

Well, there are girls who like to cheat and flirt
Those kind of girls are worst of all
How they lie, you know how they hurt

Take it from me I know what I say
I'll find me a girl who don't like to play
The game of heartbreak, well that's mighty rough
Oh-oh-oh, no more teardrops no one-way love
One-way love
One way love... [To fade]

I thought - you'd be my streetcar named desire
My way - my taste of wine
I thought - you'd be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won't die
All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new gods - looking for new blood
Looking for you
I thought - I'd find you walking in the rain
Just like a wayward child
I thought - I'd find you calling out my name
So foolish is my pride
All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new ways - looking for strange blood
Looking for you
I thought - I'd be your streetcar named desire
Your man - the one you seek
I thought - I'd take you deep within myself
Subtitles when we speak
Hold on - the flower says reach out
The thunder says no shout is greater than mine
Listen and hold on - till the day fades out
Smothered in gold
