Roxy Music : The Atlantic Years 1973 1980
Lyrics
1. DANCE AWAY
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
2. ANGEL EYES
Angel eyes, am I deceived or did you sigh?
For all I know you let you love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, you never close, who's got the time?
I can wait until your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes, on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me
3. OVER YOU
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.
4. LOVE IS THE DRUG
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 downtown the red light 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
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
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, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
5. OH YEAH
Some expression in your eyes
Overtook me by surprise
Where was I how was I to know'
How can we 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 playing Oh Yeah on the radio
And so came to be our song
And so on through all summer long
Day and night drifting 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
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They playing Oh Yeah on the radio
It's some time since we said goodbye
And now we lead our separate 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
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
There's a band playing on the radio
And it's drowning the sound of my tears
They're playing Oh Yeah on the radio
6. AIN'T THAT SO
I've been around
So far it seems
Too bad the blues
Blew my schemes
Dynamite
Such sweet surprise
In southern heat
Or northern skies
Ain't that so
Shadows cling
Where shutters close
Who can tell
Heaven knows
Why some can laugh
And some can sing
Stand in line
Or get on down and swing
Ain't that so
Cross the street
Who's ringing bells?
Peeling walls
Of cheap hotels
Neon flare
A sudden chill
And there you lie
And time stands still
Ain't that so
7. MY ONLY LOVE
Do I ever wonder?
More than words can say
Heaven knows it´s hard enough to pray
Let me tell you something
There´s a change in me
Even now you´re gone you´ll always be
My only love
Does it seem so funny
For a fool to cry?
Do you know the meaning of goodbye?
There´s a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you need to know remember me
My only love
Let me tell you something
More than words can say
But they´re all I have, no other way
There´s a river flowing
By a willow tree
When you find you´re there remember me
My only love
8. IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
And see that twinkle in your eye
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all things I told you
In the midnight hour
9. STILL FALLS THE RAIN
Dear Hyde
No more can I
Explain, I've tried
With words in vain
They pass you by
Like falling rain
From perfect skies
Still falls the rain
Inside
Hey brother don't be square
Here it is not over there
I'm your man, I've got it made
You need my fire you need my shade
You're here Hyde
Once more inspire
This strangely tied
Uncertain frame
So torn inside
Still falls the rain
Two minds, one vein
Still falls the rain
Inside
Hey doctor don't be scared
It's you and me so where's my share?
I'm the man just move aside
Call me mister call me Hyde
Hey lover don't be shy
I'm a single minded guy
Better watch me, boy I'm rough
Half a man ain't strong enough
Hey brother don't be square
Here it is not over there
I'm your man, I've got it made
You feed my fire you need my shade
10. DO THE STRAND
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
