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
Took many years after i bought the vinyl, and still the proud owner off Roxy and Ferry albums that the love theme they are singing about is
Orfeus and Euridice. Learned about it at school, never heard it so beautiful performed. My honours Mr. Bryan Ferry and Band.
In the right frame of mind, I could loop this song until the end of time.
And for those suitably inclined, this album was, and probably still is, the best music to impress any desirable heavenly body.
took a while before i understood that it the song is about Orpheus and Ouredice, from the greek mythology. Also understands the album cover.
Because |Bryan just lost his father, i can understand the pain. My deepest condeleances.
