Roxy Music - Street Life Lyrics






Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there's no one there
So I walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday -
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now I'm blinded I can't really see - yeah
No more bright lights confusing me - no
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
'Cause loving you is all I can do
Hey good-looking boys - gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind,
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind
Street Life
Street Life
Street Life
What a Life
Back to nature boys - Vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it's wrong or right
Education is an important key - yes
But the good life's never won by degrees - no
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale
Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale
Week end starts Friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
- And that's really something...

  1. D.... J....

    Roxy Music.. The Only Band That Matters~!

  2. I.... P....

    First record I bought with my own money I earned from my paper round.

  3. T.... B....

    They’re weird and they’re wonderful

  4. T.... B....

    Their music is like an old truck careening out of control around every sharp curve of rock and falling over the cliff but somehow manages to right itself and continues on howling and swinging down the road...

  5. y.... ....

    saw them twice in Boston,Mass....once standing in line outside the Orpheum Theater behind Ben Orr of The Cars...Roxy was an influence for The Cars...

  6. R.... D....

    Ray and Brian shine on this tune... no doubt.

  7. a.... ....

    They always started with a rocker.

  8. M.... M....

    Bryan Ferry was the King of '70s "cool" & brian Eno was a Synthsiser genius!

    M.... M....

    Eno wasnt on this album

    M.... M....

    Credit where it's due, Eddie Jobson does the great keyboards (and violin) on this.

  9. s.... ....

    Not only a great band but also had some of the best album covers of all time!

    s.... ....

    Is this a 14 year male libido talking?

  10. S.... R....

    Always loved this one - impressive band behind the glam, Ferry certainly could write...

  11. R.... L....

    I rate this the best Roxy Music album by dint of not having heard the others...

  12. D.... C....

    my Big sister bought me this on a 45rpm single..years ago thanx Mags Ann Williamson XXX

  13. R.... L....

    The best Roxy Music album imo. Ferry manages to combine gloss with a genuine and touching concern.

  14. P.... G....
