Well this is such
A sad affair
I´ve opened up my heart
So many times
But now it´s closed
Oh my dear
Every salted tear
It wrings
Bitter - sweet applause
But when the show´s in full swing
Every once in a while
High-stepping chorus lines <--- LOL first time
Mean i´m forgetting
Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast
Love can be
Sometimes i´m quite amused
To see it twist and turn
To taste - both sweet and dry
These vintage years!
Lovers you consume, my friend
As others their wine
Nein - das ist nicht <--- second
Das ende der welt
Gestrandet an leben und kunst
Und das spiel geht weiter
Wie man weiss
Noch viele schönste...wiedershen
And now, as you turn to leave
You try to force a smile -
As if to compensate -
Then you break down and cry

somehow i'd forgot what a weird splice of unutterably sad and GOOSESTEP BONKERS MAYHEM this song is (ie roxy music's "bitter sweet")!!

(the second side of country life is probbly my favourite roxy sequence; still it catches me by surprise)
(next song = triptych = b.ferrari gets jeebus)
