There are so many brilliant lyrics throughout the whole of the Roxy, Bryan cannon. As Mandy said it might be just a line or a whole song. Some that spring to mind, for me are: 'You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying' With those 8 words Bryan has managed to capture a feeling, a scene that would take a whole page of prose. His former love going out with her new man, dressed up to the nines and the old lover seeing them together is torn apart. Brings a lump to my throat when I hear it. '....Running wild - like you do When all your dreams came true.... ....Running wild - like you do When all your dreams fall through.... ....Running wild - like we do If only dreams came true....' What I love about this set of lyrics is how Bryan just changes a couple of words and it changes the whole meaning. Some of the imagery throughout whole songs is so stiking, evocative and beautiful....A Song For Europe, Mother Of Pearl. And then there's hopelessness, the end of a dream...Spin Me Round. So many songs....... |

It is very difficult to pick out one favourite, just too many that stick out but Beauty Queen is the one that always pops into my mind first. Beauty Queen (Ferry) Valerie please believe It never could work out The time to make plans Has passed, faded away Oooh the way you look Makes my starry eyes shiver Then I look away Too much for one day One thing we share Is an ideal of beauty Treasure so rare That even devils might care Your swimming-pool eyes In sea breezes they flutter The coconut tears Heavy-lidded they shed Swaying palms at your feet You're the pride of your street While you worship the sun Summer lover of fun Gold number with neighbours Who said that you'll go far Maybe someday be a star A fast mover like you And your dreams will all come true All of my hope, and my inspiration I drew from you Our life's pattern's drawn in sand But the winds could not erase The memory of your face Deep in the night Plying very strange cargo Our soul-ships pass by Solo trips to the stars - in the sky Gliding so far That the eye cannot follow Where do they go We'll never know |

"I would do anything for you I would climb mountains I would swim all the Oceans blue I would walk a thousand miles reveal my secrets more than enough for me to share" Sorry for having so many go's at this, I can't help it, and as others have said, there are far to many great Lyrics just to choose one |

Thanks vivaroxymusic for the dr p stuff. special. re ferry lyrics...the older i get, and the more (drug and sex) slang i pick up, bry's lyrics just seem to get darker and darker every time i read them again. there have always been some sexual/ansgt/obession/addiction references every place you look. what i think i now see is that even many of the lighter toned songs...and apparently light lyrics...are pretty full of menace, triple meaning etc etc. But then it could just be me getting more warped as time goes by. |

Even an inconsequential song like my little girl has There's a small cafe where other's take their time good for rainy day's too bad the weather's fine another hidden gem |
