Bitter - Sweet
(ferry/mackay)
Well this is such
A sad affair
Ive opened up my heart
So many times
But now its closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter - sweet applause
But when the shows in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean im forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes im quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste - both sweet and dry

She Sells
(ferry/jobson)
Now youre talking in headlines
Up to the minute and free
Stop press, hold the front page
Up as a mirror
Are you reading me?
Watch you walking in waltz time
A jigsaw puzzle in tune
Or are you faking a straight line
To suit yourself too soon
Rather nouveau than never
Contemporary ideal
Some natural kind of poet might slow it
But she sells more my speed
She sells country and modern
Ancient western song
Of oriental confusion
You so right, me so wrong
Now youre fixing to fly me-
Auto-erotic, please,

Dance Away
(ferry)
Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said its love you said all right
Its funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
Youre dressed to kill and guess whos dying?
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
- dance away
Loneliness is a crowded room
Full of open hearts turned to stone
All together all alone
All at once my whole world had changed
Now im in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
- dance away
Now I know I must walk the line

Nightingale
(ferry/manzanera)
Before the morning comes, will I hear your song
Come little nightingale, I wont be here for long
When youre up there flying, do you care
If theres no one else around?
When your lover leaves you in the air
Do you waver, do you fall?
Now while the moon is high
Shall we, nightingale,
Duet all through the night
A pair of souls for sale
Stars cluster glistening
Captive till the dawn
Patiently listening
Theyve heard it all before
Should I stay here or should I go?
I couldnt bear to be alone
Was it really love I saw?
Oh, now Ill never know
What is this I hear?

True To Life
(ferry)
So it gets to seven
And I think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady
Well shes not telling
I dont even know her name
Its amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
Imaginationd leave you standing
Out in the could
Dancing city
Now youre talking
But wheres your soul
-youve a thousand faces
Ill never know
There are complications
And compensations
If you know the game

Still Falls The Rain
(ferry/manzanera)
Dear hyde -
No more can i
Explain, ive tried
With words in vain
They pass you by
Like falling rain
From perfect skies
Still falls the rain
Inside
Hey brother dont be square
Here it is not over there
Im your man - ive got it made
You need my fire you need my shade
Youre here hyde -
Once more inspire
This strangely tied
Uncertain frame
So torn inside
Still falls the rain

To Turn You On
(ferry)
I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
Its so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
Its raining in new york
On fifth avenue
And off broadway after dark
Love the lights dont you
I could walk you through the park
If youre feeling blue
Or whatever
Spring summer whenever

If It Takes All Night
(ferry)
Oh here it comes again
That old ennui
I hope it wont stay long
Well its every-man to his own thing
And every singer to his song
If youre feeling low
And all upset
Nothings going right
You just make a wish
Like in a fairy tale
And ill bewitch you
If it takes all night
There are many things
That I could say
To try and comfort you
But I know the words youd like to hear
Are simply I love you
Sometimes im up
Sometimes im down

Serenade
(ferry)
Darkness falls
Around your window pane
A light still burns
But just a smouldering flame
Is it the end of another affair
An open engagement with gloom
Or will you be smiling
When the sun conjures up
A broken spell au clair de lune?
Silhouette
As you draw the shade
Cloak of night
You know its tailor-made
G-plan gymnastics
By an everglow fire
Could never mean the same
As summer enchantment
By an old mill steam
From courtly love to costly game

Oh Yeah
(ferry)
Some expression in your eyes
Overtook me by surprise
Where was i how was i to know?
How can we drive to a movie show
When the music is here in my car
Theres a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They playing oh yeah on the radio
And so came to be our song
And so on through all summer long
Day and night drifting into love
Driving you home from a movie show
So in tune to the sounds in my car
Theres a band playing on the radio
With a rhythm of rhyming guitars
They playing oh yeah on the radio
Its some time since we said goodbye
And now we lead our separate lives
But where am i where can i go?
