Now the party’s over
I’m so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication
In a motion
Without conversation
Or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background’s fading
Out of focus
Yes, the picture’s changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don’t know it
Avalon
(Dancing, dancing)
(Dancing, dancing)
When you bossa nova
There’s no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon
This video set all of the unreasonably high expectations of how 12 year old me thought I'd spend all of my Saturday nights as an adult. I thought there'd be falcons, dancing in castles and Bryan Ferry in a tux. There's only laundry, cat hair and my husband snoring on the sofa in a tshirt.
Lost my youngest bro last year 55, we were in the army together in the eighties both loved Roxy played this at his funeral, god bless you little bro KARL. Love from tony
Bryan Ferry for me was the James Bond of music, he always had the best clothes and had all the beautiful women on his arm and just oozed charisma and sophistication. Roxy Music were the personaification of coolness and made some of the best music during the 70s and early 80s
I remember running, literally, to the record store the day that Avalon was released. I ran upstairs, pulled the paper sleeve out of the cover and while studying the front cover artwork I remember dropping the stylus onto the fresh clean vinyl and hearing "more than this" erupting in my bedroom... I can still remember sitting on the edge of my bed transfixed by the beauty, the perfection and the ambiance they had created... the perfectly produced and arranged audio honey coming from my wharfedales and when it got to track three, Avalon I was in heaven
There are only a handful of albums I can sit all the way through and then play again immediately front to back... This is one of them

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
When the back and fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture's changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
Dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing
When you bossanova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon
Avalon

Bryan Ferry was sexy, classy and British. He could have been James Bond !! I always loved his music (Roxy Music). You won't get that with the junk acts of today.
