Rating: This is the seventh album by Roxy Music.
Scaruffi gave it 3 out of 10.
Scaruffi is a music critic.
Once, a friend and I sneaked into a construction site to retrieve a ball.
While I'm writing this, I'm shirtless.
In the garden of England, dead moles lie in their burrows, in the rain the blind tunnels crumble beneath their feet, isn’t it a shame?
Can't you see them?
Can't you see them?
The roots can't hold them, insects console them.
I don't want to hate, I just want to grow.
Why can't I let myself live and be free?
Instead, I am dying very slowly alone; I know no other ways.
I am so afraid.
Myself doesn't let me just be myself and so I am completely alone...
Call her Daughter of the Moon who dances in the shallow waters of a river.
Lovely Daughter of the Moon who dreams in the shadow of a willow.
She speaks to the trees about the strange cobweb.
Sleeps on the steps of a fountain.
Conducts the song of the night birds with silver sticks.
Waits for the sun on the mountain.
She is a Daughter of the Moon who gathers flowers in a garden.
Lovely Daughter of the Moon who drifts in the echoes of the hours.
Sails in the wind in a white dress.
Drops round stones on a sundial.
Plays hide and seek with the ghosts of dawn waiting for a smile from a Son of the Sun.
How can you copy and paste such beautiful texts (Pawn Hearts) into the review of an album like this?
My teeth grind a cereal and chocolate bar.
Like feathers of a rare foam metal, or like silver wine poured in a spaceship.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 In the Midnight Hour (03:12)
(Cropper,Pickett)
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
02 Oh Yeah (04:52)
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.
03 Same Old Scene (03:58)
Nothings last 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
(repeat 3x to fade)
Nothings last forever
Of that I'm sure
Now you've made an offer
I'll take some more
04 Flesh and Blood (03:13)
(Ferry)
My friend's flesh and blood
She lies overtime
You´d nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
I´m not that kind
My friend's flesh and blood
Night size - perfect ten
So rude - she´s no good
But as she says
It pays to win
Play to win
She plays to win
My friend's flesh and blood
Street wise for her time
You´d nail her if you could
But she says
Love me for my mind
In my time
07 Eight Miles High (04:54)
(Clark,Crosby,McGuinn)
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You find you´re
Stranger than known
Signs in the street
That say where you´re going
Are somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is there
Warmth to be found
Just those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain grey town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces around
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing
Alone
09 No Strange Delight (04:46)
(Ferry/Manzanera)
So there goes your life
Disappeared from ever loving friends
And now a slave to obsession
Your strange delight
You lie awake
How your senses ache
Shaking off the night
Is there more strange delight?
There goes your self
In the clear forever out of line
And there you´ll stay through obsession
Your strange delight
Can´t bear this heat
You poor heart skips a beat
Tearing off the years
To when you really cared
So where's your soul?
In the field where every story ends
And then how plain your obsession
Your strange delight
So this is hell
Not so hard to tell
Better men than I
Have tried your strange delight
Is there no strange delight?
10 Running Wild (05:01)
(Ferry/Manzanera)
There's that melody again
Burning through my head it does me in
Turns me right around to my old friend
Wonder how you've changed, are you still
Running wild - like you do
When all you dreams come true
Happy days you pretend
That your love will never end
There's that melody again
Where it's coming from I must have been
Drifting out of time, now I´m in
Underneath you'll find I'm just the same
Running wild - like you do
When all your dreams fall through
I can always pretend
That I'll fall in love again
Running wild - like we do
If only dream came true
I could even pretend
That I'll fall in love again
