Lyrics to Re-make/Re-model
Lyrics to the song Re-make/Re-model as recorded by Roxy Music.Words & Music By Bryan Ferry
I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best time we all know
But if there is no next time where to go
She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes see what I mean (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk talk talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Ooh show me
(CPL593H)
(CPL593H)
I tried but I could not find a way
Looking back all I did was look away
Next time is the best time we all know
But if there is no next time where to go
She's the sweetest queen I've ever seen (CPL593H)
See here she comes see what I mean (CPL593H)
I could talk talk talk talk talk myself to death
But I believe I would only waste my breath
Re-make/Re-model
Album Track
The first song on the first Roxy Music album begins to the sound of a cocktail party playing in the background and it ends with everyone in the band taking solos in a sort of Jazz parody.
The song has been performed live on several tours and was filmed as a project for art students which became the first Roxy promo video. The lyrics featured the unusual chant of a car registration number CPL 593H.(a Surrey registration).
The song was re-recorded by Bryan Ferry and used as the B-side to his solo single 'You Go To My Head' and was included on his Let's Stick Together album.
The inspiration for the song title was from a pop art painting called Re-think/Re-entry by Derek Boshier in 1962.
See the painting here.
Frank Black has recorded a version of Re-make/Re-model on his album 'Men In Black'
