BRYAN FERRY:   Boys And Girls

Sensation

Never seem to touch
I didn't feel enough
Motivation
Then I heard you call
Then I need it all
Never been in love
Never needed much
Complication
Then I hear you call
And I need it all
Where beat goes on
There you've been and gone
When I hear your name
Will I feel the same
Sensation

Slave To Love

Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
There's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
No I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Don't Stop The Dance

Mama says truth is all that matters
Lyin' 'n' deceiving is a sin
Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
Every thought I have don't mean a thing
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
No more music, don't stop the dance
Mama says love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than the skin
Living for the moment - lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
No more music, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
Mama says only stormy weather
Don't know why there's no sun in the sky
Footsteps in the dark come together
Got to keep on movin' or I'll die
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
No more music, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance
No more music, don't stop the dance
Don't stop, don't stop the dance

A Waste Land

When love's gone
There's no one
A waste land
A ghetto
When love's gone
A tear on
A waste land
Your pillow

Windswept

Oh baby do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh baby show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
Heat wave to night shade
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Oh baby don't leave me there
With a low whisper
Windswept on the air
You say it's nothing
But a game to play
Oh I'm feeling swept away
Slow baby you can take your time
I can hear nothing
Windswept is on the tide
A feeling only or state of mind
You can take me high mama
Mama take me high

The Chosen One

Gold and silver walk the main street
Sons and lovers learn to suffer
Born in shadow where we first meet
Dreams that money cannot offer
Swollen river I've been thinking
Words of passion and sorrow
Make believing is the real thing
Here today or gone tomorrow
April fever is no stranger
Night and morning in my shadow
World of pleasure and danger
Take my spirit - I must follow

Valentine

Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he's on the line
Happiness - hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I'm outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to great unknown

Stone Woman

What do you find on the street tonight? - nothing
It's a river of no return
Diamonds they're your only friend tonight
Break the mirror and bang the drum
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure is yet to come
What do you see on the street tonight - nothing
But another heartbreak hotel
Stranger - you're the only friend tonight
Pick a number and ring the bell
Let's be cool about it
Oh we're cool about it now
Stone woman - the pain is gone
And the pleasure has just begun

Boys And Girls

I'm a stranger in your town
That's the place I belong
Laid behind the frame
And the curtain's torn again
A wailing saxophone
And you know it's all in my song
All the sin that I can take
But you don't even know my name
You've got so sense of fun
But you know I've one
All the good has turned to bad
All you know what I think of that
No time to dream
No time to sigh
No time to kill
When love walks by
And who's that crying in the street
Death is the friend I've yet to meet
