Virginia Plain

Bryan Ferry

2:58

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

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Bryan Ferry

4:14

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
I´ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Walked and i´ve crawled on six crooked highways
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I´ve been ten thousand miles in mouth of a graveyard
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
And what did you see, my blue eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a new-born baby with wild wolves around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin´
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin´
A white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one
I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin´
Heard ten thousand whisperin´ and nobody listenin´
Heard one person starve, i heard many people laughin´
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
Oh who you did meet, my blue eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
Another man who was wounded with hatred
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
Oh what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm goin´ back out ´fore the rain starts a-fallin´
Walk throught the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executioners face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the colour, and none is the number
And i´ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it
Then i´ll stand in the ocean until i start sinking
But i´ll know my song well before i start singing
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
I´ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Walked and i´ve crawled on six crooked highways
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
I´ve been ten thousand miles in mouth of a graveyard
And it´s a hard rain´s a-gonna fall
And what did you see, my blue eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?

Street Life

Bryan Ferry

3:24

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

These Foolish Things

Bryan Ferry

4:49

oh will you never let me be
oh will you never set me free
the ties that bound us
are still around us
there=B9s no escape that I can see
and still those little things remain
that bring me happiness or pain

a cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces
an airline ticket to romantic places
and still my heart has wings
these foolish things
remind me of you

a tinkling piano in the next apartment
those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
a fairgrounds painted swings
these foolish things
remind me of you

you came
you saw
you conquered me
when you did that to me I somehow knew that this had to be

the winds of March that make my heart a dancer
a telephone that rings but who=B9s to answer
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you

gardenia perfume lingering on a pillow
wild strawberries only 7 francs a kilo
and still my heart has wings
these foolish things
remind me of you

I know
that this
was bound to be
these things have haunted me for you=B9ve entirely enchanted me

the sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
silk stockings thrown aside and sin-vitations
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you

the smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
the waiters whistling as the last bar closes
the song that Crosby sings
these foolish things
remind me of you

how strange
how sweet
to find you still
these things are dear to me that seem to bring you so near to me

the scent of smoking leaves the wail of steamers
two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
just you

Love Is The Drug

Bryan Ferry

3:59

Taint no big thing,

To wait for the bell to ring,

Taint no big thing,

The toll of the bell,

Aggravated - spare for days,

Stroll downtown the red light place,

Jump up bubble up - whats in store,

Love is the drug and I need to score,

Showing out, showing out, hit and run,

Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,

Stitched up tight, cant shake free,

Love is the drug, got a
on me,

Oh oh catch that buzz,

Love is the drug that im thinking of,

Yeah, cant you see?

Love is the drug for me,

Taint no big thing,

To wait for the bell to ring,

Taint no big thing,

The toll of the bell,

Late that night I park my car,

Stake my place in the singles bar,

Face to face, toe to toe,

Heart to heart as we hit the floor,

Lumber up, limbo down,

The locked embrace, the stumble round,

I say go, he say yes,

Dim the lights, you can guess the rest,

Yeah, catch that buzz,

Love is the drug that im thinking of,

Yeah, cant you see?

Love is the drug for me,

Taint no big thing,

To wait for the bell to ring,

Aint no big thing,

The toll of the bell,

Aggravated - spare for days,

Stroll downtown the red light place,

Jump up bubble up - whats in store,

Love is the drug and I need to score,

Showing out, showing out, hit and run,

Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,

Stitched up tight, cant shake free,

Love is the drug, got a
on me,

Oh oh catch that buzz,

Love is the drug that im thinking of,

Oh oh, cant you see?

Love is the drug that im thinking of,

Oh yeah, cant you see?

Love is the drug for me,

Gota get that buzz/drug,
