Editions Of You — текст песни (Roxy Music)

(Ferry)

Well I´m here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step in to my life
Another fine edition of you
A pin-up done in shades of blue
Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
The country air and all its joys
But badgers couldn`t compensate at twice the price
For just another night with the boys oh yeah
And boys will be boys, will be boys
They say love´s a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
And while sun shines you´d better make hay
So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
Then let the chips fall where they may
In modern times the modern way

And as I was drifting past the Lorelei
I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo
So look out sailor when you hear them croon
You´ll never been the same again oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane - this way

So love, leave me. do what you will
-Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don`t play yourself for a fool
Too much cheesecake too soon
Old money´s better than new
No mention in the latest Tribune
And don´t let this happen to you
