Roxy Music - Dance away 1979
Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight
I said it´s love you said all right
It´s funny how I could never cry
Until tonight and you pass by
Hand in hand with another guy
You´re dressed to kill and guess who´s dying?
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
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 I´m in the dark, off the wall
Let the strobe light up them all
I close my eyes and dance till dawn
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
- dance away
Now I know I must walk the line
Until I find an open door
Off the street, onto the floor
There was I - many times a fool
I hope and pray, but not too much
Out of reach is out of touch
All the way is far enough
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
Dance away the heartache
Dance away the tears
1982) Roxy Music is an English art rock group founded in the early 1970s by art school graduate Bryan Ferry (vocals and keyboards). The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitars), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members are Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), who would later become a famous producer and musician, and Eno's replacement Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Extant from 1971 through 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have announced that they are recording a new album for a yet-to-be-confirmed release date.
Roxy Music attained mainstream popular and critical success in the UK and Europe through the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their chart-topping debut album, Roxy Music in 1972.[1]. In the USA, Australia and other regions, however, while their albums sold well, the band only achieved mainstream top 40 success with the 1975 hit Love Is The Drug and their 1982 album Avalon, featuring the hit song by the same name.
The group's name was partly an homage to the titles of old cinemas and dance halls, and partly a pun on the word 'rock'. Ferry had first named the band Roxy, but learning of an American band with the same name prompted the alteration of the name. The juxtaposition of nostalgia with contemporary or futuristic themes was a distinctive feature of the band, particularly in their earliest incarnation. The group is noted for their combination of idiosyncratic experimentation and sophisticated wit, evident in their literate lyrics, restrained instrumental virtuosity, and highly developed visual presentation, mainly directed by Ferry, that expropriated imagery from the realms of high fashion, kitsch, and commercial photography.
