Bryan Ferry - Cruel Lyrics
My sun is set--and my day is done
When I turn to the east I can see no dawn
But iron horse come - buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
To run as far as the eye can see
But long knife come - buffalo gone
Like blades of grass they cut us all down
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Here is a girl who's working in a factory
Spends all her time there thinking what she want to be
She got no boyfriend - she got no window
She just a lonely heart - it's tearing me apart
There's a boy now doesn't have a word to say
Cat got your tongue now - night to night and day to day
He got no girlfriend - he got no money
He just a lonely heart - it's tearing me apart
Why in the world are you so cruel?
Everywhere I go there's a world full of heartbreak
Hole in the sky now - tell me where for God's sake
Where is that sunshine? Where is that rainbow?
Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know
Nobody knows the trouble I see
Nobody cares - nobody but me
And James Bond, Jackie O, Johnnie Ray and Garbo
Who got an answer here? Tell me what I want to know

Bryan Ferry Cruel Comments
Freaking fabulous
Bryan ferry’s best solo work... amazing album .... it even featured in eastenders —- goddess of love
So good artistically
Just really listened to this song properly for the first time... Am not even going to try to choose a perfect adjective!!!
It's the Lyrics that have me totally stumped 🤔!
Is Bryan singing about God, or destruction by mankind, or both?!!
(scratches head...)
Buffalo and Long knives?
America and China perhaps?
Native Americans and "Night of the Long Knives" then why no mention of Russia (Lenin)...
Probably would have been banned there I guess.
Oh, I don't know, perhaps am taking it too seriously?
Hope not. Damned fine track (oops!) with only the truth to say 💪👏💯...
Just so... Random.
Off to listen to the full album. Maybe not so random after all.
Sorry about the essay dude! Regards 🙏
Somehow I missed this album.... Its like a missing piece of my life.
Great song by my man Bryan Ferry. I loved it first time I heard it. 💗
A great, underated song from what might be Bryan's best album. Thanks for posting.

Молодец. Джеймс Бонд, Джеки Q, Джимми Рей энд ГАРБО....
