Bryan Ferry Album

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

Mama says truth is all that matters
Lying 'n' deceiving is a sin
Drifting through a world that's torn and tattered
Every thought I have don't mean a thing

Mama says love is all that matters
Beauty should be deeper than your skin
Living for the moment - lips and lashes
Will I ever find my way again

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 moving or I'll die

(Ferry)

In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I'd like to think so
Standards of living
They're rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It's only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there

Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind

Oh Those Heartaches
Dreamhome Heartaches

I know you - inside me
Like poison like wine
Now there's no sense in falling
Say you'll be mine

Give me the world around you
Give me the time
Only a dream without you
Say you'll be mine

I've got - inside me
In darkness entwined
I would be lost without you
Say you'll be mine

Reflected in water
Imagined by fire
I will be waiting for you
Say you'll be mine

Beware bete noire
Beware bete noire
