My pulse is racin'
As the rain streams down my face
There's no turning back now
To fight with fate

- A Fool for Love
In days gone by there was a king. A fool for love and all it brings. So high and wise, could read your mind. A fool for love and love is blind.
A crowded street, an empty train. A fool for love you cry in vain.
A fool for love.
A fool for love.
- A Special Kind of Guy
A special kind of guy
Would take you by the hand
For all the world to see
Wish it could be me
Just give him one more chance
He'll never let you down
Without your love
- Alphaville
Nobody knows you're here
Deep undercover
You seem a bit afraid
Why do you suffer?
Another night
A night in Alphaville

- Another Time, Another Place
I knew there'd be times like this
When I'd sit at home and reminisce
Oh how one's memory slips...
So I close my book
And sighing, take a second look
Sure enough - I'm quite alone
Still, there no sound
So I spin-a-disc around and around
- Answer Me

- Avonmore
As it was
In the beginning
Before the darkness
And the fall
I lay my head
On your heartbeat
Cloaking the dagger
Of your soul
- Bete Noire
(ferry/leonard)
I know you - inside me
Like poison like wine
Now there´s no sense in falling
- 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
- Broken Wings
Through the golden sunset
Across the borderline
Stands a cross
A simple sign
- Carrickfergus
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Only for nights in Ballygrand
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Just to see my love before I die
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I wings so I could fly
I wish I could meet a handsome boatman
To carry me over my love and I
- 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
Love dove on me
Love dove on me
And when you tell me pass it on
I'll pass it on...
- Don't Stop the Dance
Mama says: truth is all that matters
lying and 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
dont' stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
- 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
- Dont Stop The Dance
Mama says: truth is all that matters
lying and 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
dont' stop the dance.
Don't - mama says - don't stop the dance.
- Driving Me Wild
My heart is pounding
I'm trembling with rage
I'm wrestling with my demons
On every page
Can't read that label
I can't make it out
It's a world of confusion
- Fool For Love
In days gone by
There was a king
A fool for love
And all it brings
So high and wise
Could read your mind
A fool for love
- Girl of My Best Friend
(ross,bobrick)
The way she walks
The way she talks
How long I can I pretend
Oh I can´t help it i´m in love
With the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair her skin so fair
- Goddess Of Love
Marilyn says I got nothing to wear tonight
Only a pair of diamond earrings that catch the light
Platinum blonde - is it true that you have more fun
Siberia - now I'm sad and all alone
Goddess of love
I can't go on without you - oh I want you
Goddess of love
- Heartache By Numbers
I can’t stop from thinking
That love makes no sense
I’m burnt out from dreaming
‘Bout nobody else
Midnight to daybreak
I can’t believe the pain
The way you look, the way you talk,
The way you walk away
- Hiroshima
Unconscious in Versailles
Press play begin
I see my life flash by
Oh, neon wind
Hiroshima mon amour
I wake up in Chiang-Mai
- I Put A Spell On You
I put a spell on you
Because you´re mine
I put a spell on you
Because you´re mine
- I Thought
I thought - you'd be my streetcar named desire
my way - my taste of wine
I thought - you'd be that flame within the fire
one dream that just won't die
All night - looking for new love
impossible true love - nothing at all
looking for new gods - looking for new blood
- jealous guy
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
- Just One Look
Just one look and I fell so hard in love with you
I found out how good it feels to have your love
Say you will, will be mine forever and always
Just one look and I knew that you were my only one
I though I was dreaming but I was wrong
But I´m gonna keep on scheming till I make you my own
So you see I really care, without you I´m nothing
Just one look and I know I´ll get you someday
- Kiss And Tell
Ten cents a dance
It's the only price to pay
Why give 'em more
When it's only love for sale
Adam and Eve
It's the oldest game in town
Just a one way street
- Let's Stick Together
And now the marriage vow is very sacred
The man has put us together now
You ought to make it stick together
Come on, come on, let's stick together
You know we made a vow not to leave one another never
But now you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
Come on now baby give our love a try
- Loop De Li
You wake up where are you
What's on your mind?
Confusion can't face it
You close your eyes
There's no one to turn to
No where to hide
Deep river, cool water
Your love has died
- Love Is The Drug
T'aint no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
Taint no big thing,
The toll of the bell,
Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - whats in store,
- Love Me or Leave Me
This suspense is killing me
I can’t stand uncertainly
Tell me now I’ve got to know
Whether you want me to stay or to go
Love me or leave me
Or let me be lonely
You won’t believe me, I love you only
I’d rather be lonely
- Me Oh My
Me oh my
I can't believe my eyes
Everything I care about is gone I wonder why
Life is tough – no matter how I try
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Tell me it's a lie
Me oh my
- 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
- New Town
New town
There's a place
A mad affair
In a new world
Heaven send
A life that's made for us
Out of luck
- Nobody Loves Me
When the heat is on you rant and rave
Your poison pen your shotgun slave
You realize life’s not the same
Your tortured sighs they fall like rain
Nobody loves me
Nobody loves me
When the cold wind blows I think of you
Your emerald eyes your golden shoes
- Positively 4th Street
You’ve got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a hand to lend
You just want to be on
- Reason Or Rhyme
Why must you shed such tender tears
In the evening of your years
No other love could stem the tide
Of the loneliness I hide
Open your heart and let me live
All the promises I could give
The sun and moon and all the stars
- Rescue Me
Protect me in your arms
I want your tender charms
I'm a lonely, I'm blue
I need you, your love true
Rescue me
Rescue me
Take my heart
Take your love
- River Of Salt
River of salt
Flowing from my eyes
Seems as though
I can't realize
My love is gone
She's left this town
River of salt
Keeps flowing down
- San Simeon
Walk up the driveway endlessly curving
Go through the front door, it's so inviting
Baronial great hall once so exciting
Haunted by shadows faces in hiding
Chair by the fire, I feel a tremor
Silent reminder you used to be there
You are the princess, my wand doth wake you
Fantasy playmate candlelight lover
- Send in the Clowns
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
- Sensation
Never seem to touch, ohh babe, temptation
I didn't feel enough motivation
Then I hear you call, ohh babe, sensation
Then I need it all, ohh babe
Oh my love
Oh my love
- Shame, Shame, Shame
Well I tried to tell you, baby, but it made no sense
Now you got me, baby, up against the fence
Ain´t that a shame, shame, shame, shame, the way you do
Well, it's a shame, shame, shame, shame,
Oh it's a shame on you
Well, you walk out in the evening, don't say where you going
Six o'clock in the morning, you come walking home
- shameless
I can read your lips
I can read your mind,
It's all I want to hear,
Why am I so blind?
And the way we were
Fatefully entwined
In a shameless world,
- Sign Of The Times
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh we cry
We know not why
Lipstick ’n leather wear ’n tear
Of another sign of the times
We’re chained and bound
- Slave To Love
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary, and there's no escape
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor
Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love, oh oh, slave to love
- Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
They asked me how I knew my true love was true,
I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied.
They said someday you'll find all who love are blind,
When your heart's on fire, you must realize,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
So I chaffed and then I gaily laughed,
To think that they could doubt my love,
Yet today, my love has flown away,
- Song To The Siren
Long afloat on distant oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
- Sweet And Lovely
Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent her my way.
Skies above me
Never were as blue as her eyes;
And she loves me
Who would want a sweeter surprise?
- Sympathy For The Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and fate
I was around when Jesus Christ
Had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
- Take Me To The River
I don't know why I love you like I do
After the things that you put me through
You stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't see hide nor hair of you yet
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd really love to stay
Take me to the river, and wash me down
- Taxi
Taxi!
Take me to the other side of town
Just as fast you can
Taxi!
Before my baby puts me down
Now please, won't you hurry
See, she's got me worried
- Tender Is The Night
Now picture this, my point of view
In an ideal world I see the likes of you
Such as it is, babes in the wood
At the best of times I feel misunderstood
No work, no play
A million miles away
Tender is the night
I’m frantic today
- That's How Strong My Love Is
If I was a songbird way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is
That's how strong my love is
- The 'In' Crowd
I'm in with the "in" crowd
I go where the "in" crowd goes.
I'm in with the "in" crowd
And I know what the "in" crowd knows.
Any time of the year
Don't you hear?
Dressin' fine
Makin' time
- 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
- 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
- The Name of the Game
Out of control
And as far I can see
No religion can save me now
Through i'm trying to believe
How could I know
Her madness'd cling
From the time of her first caress
To the final fling
- 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
- The Same Old Blues
Have you heard that rumor that's going around?
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Yes I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway but you was gone
- The Way You ook Tonight
Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
- These Foolish Things
Прошло какое-то время и потомственный шахтер по имени Брайан Ферри, в прошлом - певец группы Roxy Music, где-то услышал эти слова и взял их на заметку. "Бывать - не бывать" - решил он и записал несколько альбомов, где перепел по-своему песни поэтов и художников прошлого.
И только он спел несколько этих песен, как сразу из представителя шахтерского сословия превратился в самого ни на есть представителя высшего света и претендента на титул "самого хорошо одетого человека Солнечной системы". Недаром говорится: "Красота - это страшная сила".
Прислушайтесь внимательно - как идеальна точна здесь его фразировка, как вкусно он выговаривает каждый слог; а, впрочем, может и не стоит обращать на это внимания - просто позвольте волне счастья подхватить вас и понести все выше и выше. И вообще - самое время признаться кому-нибудь в любви. Не упустите момента.
- This Is Tomorrow
Here in the hush of evenin'
On a night in June
Overhearin' conversations
Bayin' at the moon
Suddenly a voice I'm hearin's
Sweet to my ear
This is tomorrow's callin'
- This Island Earth
So I send an SOS
Semaphore myself
Catch me falling finally
Through the air and underground
Everywhere this sound
Screams whisper "I can't breathe"
I feel it in my bones
Though I know I'm not alone
- this love
This love
This love is a strange love
In that it can lift a love
This love
This love
I think Im gonna fall again
And even when you held my hand
Intending me to face,
- Tokyo Joe
My girl friday she no square
She like lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed but she´s never blue
Oh no........not tokyo joe
Way past midnight - she not home
She cut the ice down the danger zone
Water-tight dresses - she don´t care
- 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
- Walk a Mile in My Shoes
If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's minds
If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego
I believe you'd be, surprised to see, that you'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse
- When She Walks In The Room
When she walks in the room
Then you know
Why your date says it's late
Time to go
And you know you can't leave
You must stay
'Til her laughter has drifted away
So you talk to the walls
- 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
- Windswept
Oh, baby, do it again and again
I can hear nothing
Windswept is the sand
Oh, baby, oh show me more
I can see nothing
Windswept is the shore
- You Can Dance
In a discotheque at dawn
Is when it came to me
I'd been ravin' through the night
Lookin' for some company
It was the Mambo talkin'
It's got a lot to say
Do you come here often?
- 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
- Zamba
Девочка моя,
ты снова сводишь меня с ума.
Почему ты никогда не приходишь,
если мне до чёртиков хреново?
Почему ты даже не пытаешься коснуться
моей озябшей земли своими ногами?
Скажи мне, что я ребёнок в своих фантазиях,
