Альбом Bryan Ferry

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'
Wishin` you were here

Layin' in my hotel bedroom
Feelin' ceilin' blues
Wall to wall a TV's twitchin'
Clearly not a muse
Then flashin' through the interference
Beams a thousand tunes
This is tomorrow callin'
What have I to lose?

Truckin' by the railway station
I'm on the road again
Steerin' clear of all termination
Unto the point of pain
When steamin' thru on cue
I hear that wailin' whistle blow
If this is tomorrow callin'
Oh what a way to go!

Day to day you live old fashioned
Hi-toned, fancy free
A double take, an image-spittin'
Tailored to a T
While history is tellin' you
The same old thing
This is tomorrow callin'
Let's stick a new oar in
This is tomorrow callin'
Y'all 'n
Come on in

Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line

Can't you hear me talkin'to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry

Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator
Help me to pass it on

A final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin'
I count on your call

Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs
All night operator
Reader between the lies

With half the world dreamin'
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin'
A diary of crossed lines

Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line

If you feel me driftin' away
Slippin' into my song
All night operator
All of a sudden - gone

Now is the moment
Here is the place
And soon's the time to go
Seein's believin'
Or so he thought once
Now he's not so sure
One kiss - one for the road - what is more?
One kiss - roughly expressing all that lips are for

Where do they come from?
Doesn't she speak?
Where can they co from here?
Forever or never
Or once in a while
Their situation's clear
One kiss - never too late to miss
One too many a broken-up affair - like this

Spinning together
Drifting away
The song of love is strange
A never ending
"See you soon"
Too late - the music changed
One kiss - what kind of end is this?
One more touching impression - one lost love - one kiss

Just as he's trying
To open the door
He fumbles with the key
Clumsily playing for time
Without words
Some things you can only feel
One kiss - lost in shade
One tear - ever so slowly falling left to fade

Are you still cutting it on the street
Do you make savage love when you meet
In the zig-zag shadows that promises much

Don't talk about it - Show me
Talkin' about it's - Easy
Don't talk about it - Love me up

Is that lightning exciting ya quite as much
Would I could feel it, would I could touch

Don't talk about it - It's not the same
Love me madly - Once again

Don't make it easy for me
Some like it tough you see
Loving is easy for me
A whole lotta love has passed this way

Don't talk about it - Show me
Talkin' about it's - Easy
Don't talk about it - Love me up

Is it as passionate as it seemed?
Was it for real or some kind of dream?

Don't talk about it - It's not the same
Love me madly - Once again

And should we meet again
Uncertain, out of reach
On the other side of time
Barriers broken
Thoughts entwine
Never words spoken
Love me madly again

And who can draw the line
A strand from me to you
A world apart, a smile
Loving is easy
Hard to end
Love letter's tearing
Love me madly again

And when you find the time
Let's share a silk caress
Somewhere for a while
Mirror to mirror
Frame on frame
Within' without you
Love me madly again

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
A trifle risqué, a tart, no sir........
Oh no........sounds like Tokyo Joe

Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatale or ingenue?
She very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon
When all the world's a stage, oh where are you?

Tokyo Rose on the radio
Or Diz 'n Bird puttin' on the moan
Tappin' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ra me fah so?
Let's go........call for Tokyo Joe

Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-kokey till the cows come home
Big shot - from the hip - neon cool
Say, when you've been around, what's left to do?
Don't know? Ask Tokyo Joe

So inscrutable her reply
"Ask no question and tell me no lie"

GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' "je t'adore"........
Ah so........that's Tokyo Joe

When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within' yourself
For there is no-one else
Well it's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth

Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again
It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth

Party doll
Oh how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long

Party doll
Without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann........

It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth

And if our secret love
Is haunting you -
No-one can hold me
Like you used to do........

Party doll - what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain
What people say
When it don't mean a thing
It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win

Party doll - I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up - let's twist again
It's a skin
Skin to skin
Amen

Once again
You're the song
I'm the one
Who turns the pages

There you go
Flying high
Here am I
Rock of ages

Ring the changes
Ring all changes
Try to move me as of old
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
Tough my soul

Lost again
All alone
Turned to stone
Cold and sober

After you
There's no fun
On the run
The party's over

Ring the changes
Ring all changes
Do you move me as of old
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
Touch my soul

Who can say
Here today
Where we'll stray
Gone tomorrow

After all
Is said and done
Will you stay
And share my sorrow?

Sing your praises
Sing all praises
Still you move me
Knock me cold
Rock-a-bye me
Rock of ages
You touched my soul

Hark the frozen chimes of winter
Crystal shimmer in your mind

To the first time when you saw her
You implored her to be kind

In the open fields around you
All before you gone to ground

Both the question and the answer
Deep inside you - you shall find

And while you're strollin'
Through the summer of your years
Enchanted, a garden overgrown
Don't call me sentimental
Those of you who care
Could find there a lover and a friend.....to the end

And if you're taken
by the sprit of your age
No reason to carve a cornerstone
Sway me, trade me
Your philosophy-
First you're sowin'
Then you're growin'
Then you reap......until you sleep

Will you scale the silver studded mountain
Where contemplation'll spring to mind
See the veiled prophet's withered gaze
Reflect the "nouvelle-vague"
Glazed visions imprisoned in your mind

Unwinding rivers flowing through the meadows
To the sea - paths of glory
Through shifting glades to fall

Present laughter and the memory
Of troubles you have seen
It is written in your mind
