BRYAN FERRY:   Mamouna

Don't Want To Know

I want to be just everything
More than you need
I want to hear you call
Nothing but me
I'd be lost on my own
A bird on the wing
Heaven knows like a bird
I see everything

I want to play on night to night
The world on a string
You look at me
And I wonder what goes on
All that money could buy
All of those things
I could never be sure
Where to begin

Friday night in the rain
Somebody new
Better now babe never
Take it from me
I got nothing but no
So many times
Hold it out to me now
Broken in two

N.Y.C.

Hey there mister
Let me tell ya
I got something here
Gonna blow your mind
The way that it is
There's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood
Never out of your mind

No way out of this place
My neighbourhood
House and garden topiary
Just like Hollywood
On the mainline to Harlem
You want to live
Desmona waiting for ya
Somethin's gotta give

Your Painted Smile

Too fast to live
Too young to die
One stolen babe
A certain smile

We never close babe
We dance all night
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile

The name of the place
The name of the place

You'll never know babe
The state I'm in
It's a plastic world babe
No tiger skin

Don't talk to me
Your perfume sighs
I'm lost inside babe
Your painted smile

Mamouna

So you say
You're living just for fun
Isn't it enough?
So you say
You wait o will it come
Isn't it enough?
You a prisoner of loving
You're chained and bound
I could never be the one
In the moonlight and the sun

O Mamouna Mamouna run

You and me
We're just like night and day
The here and now
The ghost of yesterday
Hack and tear
We're prisoners of loving
We're chained and bound
There's a road I've got to take
A thread you got to break

The Only Face

Havana moon
You got me in the strangest mood
Just me myself no-one else
Could ever be so blue

No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face - out of place
An empty shell

Havana moon
Nobody knows me like you do
Nowhere to turn I never learn
I can't break through

No backstreet woman
No grand hotel
The only face - out of place
An empty shell

You make me nervous
Your telephone
You drive me crazy
I want to be alone

I want to be alone
Me myself no-one else
I want to be alone

The 39 Steps

Where do we go from here
Your place or mine
What do you want from me
And is there time?

Where do we go from here
I wish I knew
Getting too hot to bear
Let's keep it cool

Where do we go from here
I'm in the mood
Living on borrowed time
Let's make a move

Don't ask me why
My heart is breaking
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
I'm tired of wanting
Some other spring some time

Don't ask me why
My heart is yearning
Don't get me wrong this time
Trouble in mind
My heart is breaking
Some other spring some time

Which Way To Turn

I didn't know which way to turn
I didn't know which way to turn
Can't control my feelings if I tried
Right from wrong from left to right

I didn't know which way to turn
Walk on ice feel your fingers burn
Walk on ice feel your fingers burn
And the world you know
Easing out of time

Can't control my feelings if I tried
Can't control my feelings if I tried
And the world you know
Easing out of time
Easing out of time...

Wildcat Days

Hanging round endlessly
Dog eat dog - dead end street
Brave new world
I can't break you down
I can see there is no way out

Wild and free in dead of night
I can dream - what I want I get
Out of touch with all that kitchen jive
Wildcat days - lonely nights

Fair is foul - foul is fair
I cry out loud but there's no-one there
The more we live the most who die
Wildcat days - lonely nights

Gemini Moon

Tick tick time it don't mean nothing
Evil eye me high above
Tick tick time and time is money
Deep inside you can't deny my love

Gemini moon

Tick tick time o mad desire
Black cat bone moanin'
Tick tick time o light the fire
Deep inside you can't deny my love

The hanged man card
The sacrifice
The change of heart

Tick tick time toil and trouble
Jet black coal my soul on fire
Tick tick time my mind is rocking
Deep inside you can't deny my love

Chain Reaction

From time to time you get the sign
Move your body right next to mine
From day to day you get nowhere
Oh baby don't leave me there
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...

It's a chain reaction it never stop
What's on your mind
A chain reaction it never stop
Think about you all the time
Oh baby what's on your mind

No sympathy dedicate it to memory
Oh turn it on treat me square
How can I be everywhere boy...

I'm down on my knees
Down on my knees
Lovey dovey on me
Lovey dovey on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
