Ferry, Bryan - Heartache By Numbers Lyrics






I can't stop from thinking
That love makes no sense
I'm burnt out from dreaming
'Bout nobody else

Midnight to daybreak
I can't believe the pain
The way you look, the way you talk,
The way you walk away
Oh I can't take

Heartache by numbers
From violet to grey
I paint all your colours
I wash them away

I live for the moment
I long for the day
You walk in my garden
You lie in my shade

Every night I run around
With every girl in town
But I would rather stay at home
If you were still around

Midnight to daybreak
I'd do it all again
The way you look the way you talk
I'd be your lover not your friend
Oh I can't stand

  12. Z.... W....

    Love, wisdom

  13. 6.... ....

    It's so god damn Beautiful from 3:10. From 4:13 I get goosebumps.

  14. k.... j....

    The song is not earth-shattering but it is pretty good and the title of the song "lucked it out".

  15. j.... l....

    he's like a good wine, aging brings more quality !

  16. k.... ....

    Yeah, MrFinder, the song writing is disappointing. Shit all round.

  17. f.... ....

    Lovely song from a very evocative, sincere and elegant album. Would love to hear this live. Thanks Bryan x

  18. t.... ....

    this song is shite. Like he has been for 30 years.

    t.... ....

    use ur ears

  19. G.... D....

    This music does'nt age! Still as brilliant as the early days with Brian Eno..

  20. G.... ....

    @SolsburyHill22
    LOVE BeteNoire... this might have to grown on me- i hope..

  21. K.... B....

    Great song... But:
    Pretty bad bass trill at end of verse section (0:49)
    Really bad/cheesy guitar part through bridge section (2:38)
    & I don't really like the choir/chorus section (Especially w/phasing effect@3:10)

  22. j.... ....

    @smashatto -- you took the words right out of my mouth! I was introduced to Bryan Ferry in 1984 and he is the epitome of class and elegance! If i was on a dessert island I would only want him and his music!!!!

  23. R.... L....

    Undoubtedly his best Solo Album :)

  24. N.... X....

    I love the songs Scissor Sisters have written with other artists. This is beautiful

  25. A.... L....

    @Bigdadda20 I wouldn't say it ruins it, but it's not as strong as the rest of the song.

  26. B.... ....

    *Beautiful*

  27. G.... D....

    Despite, our elderly ears and years, the audio production remains still brilliant! and eloquent

  28. I.... H....

    wrong@bigdadda20: it's definitely the chorus which makes this song unique, in my opinion

  29. B.... ....

    I love this song, except the chorus ruins it. Does anyone else feel the same way?

    B.... ....

    no way, it is a deliberate reversion to early Roxy Music.

  30. G.... D....

    @Skyman46 If only you've seen and heard the stuff this 'head has done!

  31. J.... W....

    This song sounds very much like Roy Orbison's classics ...it is weird but this song trasnports me to the Bete de Noire times ...i never felt like that until now ....this song and Alphaville are such cool ones ....

  32. G.... D....

    Thanks. this brilliant music has uplifted my life, I will still fly hang gliders, but with brilliant tunes!

  33. A.... C....

    mitico!!

  34. G.... D....

    I also concur, a masterful stuff of music!

  35. d.... ....

    We Love You Bryan!
    Kansas City Fan Club - Lisa & Dr. John since 1983 - love evolve love
    Namaste!

  36. G.... D....

    Jerry Hall was the best album cover ok?

  37. M.... H....

    What??? heard it for the 1st time today what a magical song.. well thought out and brilliantly put together.. he is an amazing artist

  38. 6.... ....

    I love when the chorus enters at the end of the song. So harmful. Gives me such peace.

  39. G.... M....

    @smashatto You put this just about right even tho you didnt use the words....Fucking brilliant.

  40. w.... ....

    A few more days of listening to this album. It's pretty good.

    The lyrics on this song are pretty awful, really. Ferry has done so much better, so often. But the chorus and the ending on this are terrific. Pure pop, with style.

  41. M.... B....

    MI MANDA RAPINO: Bryan Ferry è sempre un grande, un'icona e non vedo l'ora di ascoltare il prossimo nuovo album.

  42. n.... ....

    Mi manda Rapino: Sonorità elettronica anni ottanta, nel complesso brano fluido e gradevole

  43. M.... A....

    Mi manda Charlie Rapino: such a stylish sound ... a perfect mix of charme and modern ideas, the kind of music that makes me feel in good mood .

    M.... A....

    Brilliantly done

  44. f.... ....

    charlie rapino dixit!

  45. w.... ....

    Interesting wall of sound effort. Lyrics are a bit middling, but the overall effect is classy.

  46. P.... A....

    Every night I run around
    With every girl in town
    But I would rather stay at home
    If you were still around
    Midnight to daybreak
    I'd do it all again
    The way you look the way you talk
    I'd be your lover not your friend
    Oh I can't stand

    Heartache by numbers
    From violet to grey
    I paint all your colours
    I wash them away
    I live for the moment
    I long for the day
    You walk in my garden
    You lie in my shade

  47. f.... ....

    I heard him on NPR.

  48. B.... P....

    Bryans voice is orgasmic sooooo sexy

  49. B.... P....

    Bryans voice is orgasmic soooo sexy

  50. M.... ....

    Excellent Album. You won't be dissapointed. Ferry is updating his sound and it is a nice infusion of the Roxy Music, Ferry's R & B style and techno.

  51. G.... L....

    che classe strepitosa !

  52. S.... G....

    Loved this song from the moment i heard Bryan sing this . congrats Bryan, You are so chicque keep up the good work will be getting the delux I have the standard cd for now

  53. S.... G....

    This song grabbed me from day one too what a wonderful performer loved song to the siren as well Bryan congrats on bringing this out hope it gets to no 1 you are well deserving of this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  54. L.... F....

    All good. This was the start of new wave/alternative/post punk. Bryan and the legendary Roxy Music, along past members Eddie Jobson and Eno, and the awesome David Gilmour....this is what music is all about!

  55. C.... b....

    hurry bryan welcome back missed you good luck with new album

  56. J.... W....

    Welcome back again... Bryan.
    From the halcyon days of the early 1970's to the turbulent noughties. You've always been there magnificently for us all.
    Fabulous.
    Johann Van
