Bryan Ferry Glastonbury

This programme contains flashing images. Welcome to Glastonbury 2014,

here on BBC 4. Something from the wine list perhaps? No, I thought I'd

get dressed up this evening to show due respect to one of our most

enduring crooners and artists. He's suave and sophisticated, yet, let's

not forget, he was once at the cutting edge of art rock with Roxy

music. When I first saw him on the old grey whistle test, it blew my

mind. He is just one of our most enduring and Cherished artists. I

didn't want him to come on and think, blimey, a field of full of

scruffy gits. I wanted him to know we are paying respect to him. It's

up to me to give you, Bryan Ferry. # I could talk talk talk, talk

myself to death # But I believe I would only waste

my breath # Ten cents a dance

# It's the only price to pay # Why give 'em more

# When it's only love for sale? # Adam and Eve

# It's the oldest game in town # Just a one way street

# To a faded magazine # Kiss and tell

# Money talks - it never lies # Kiss and tell

# Give and take - eye for an eye # Fever - the heat of the night

# Dreamer - stealer of sighs # One public face

# In a private limousine # Flash photograph

# It's the only light you see # No secret life

# There's no secret you can steal # Your lips are moving

# But I will never know # Money talks - and love...it burns

# Kiss and tell # Dreamer - stealer of sighs

# Fever - the heat of the night # You've got me all around town

around run around # You've got me girl on the run

around # Then you look no further

# For I'm gonna be your only # Searching at the start of the

season # And my only reason

# Is that I'll get to you # I'll find some way of connection

# Hiding my intention # Then I'll move up close to you

# I'll use you and I'll confuse you # And then I'll lose you

Still you won't suspect me # Some expression in your eyes

# Overtook me by surprise # Where was I, how was I to know

# How can we drive to a movie show # There's a band playing on the

radio # They're playing Oh Yeah on the

radio # And so came to be our song # And so on through all summer long

# Day and night drifting into love # Driving you home from a movie show

# So in tune to the sounds in my car # There's a band playing on the

radio # They're playing Oh Yeah

on the radio # It's some time since we said

goodbye # There's a band playing on the

radio # There's a band playing on the

radio # And it's drowning the sound of my

tears # They're playing Oh Yeah on the

radio #. # Why must you shed such tender

tears # All the promises I could give

# The sun and moon and all the stars # They bow down to you whenever you

pass # In a world of fading sadness

# An emerald ring, a photograph # That look in your eyes,

the brush of your cheek # These are the moments in life that

I seek # No reason or rhyme, no presence of

mind # All the promises I could give

# The sun and moon and all the stars # They bow down to you whenever you

pass # No reason or rhyme, by chance or

design # Just a dance to the music

of time #. tonight

# Can it go, it's riding high # Can't let go, when I run out of

control tonight # Can't let go, until every trace is

gone # Now the headlights are flashing by

so fast # Both directions seem the same

# And the windscreen wipers beat # You can't let go again

# Nowhere to run tore hide # I can't let go

# No, no, no # Sometimes the world outside will

take you in # With just a smile

# And you so blinded with desire # A hundred sleepless nights have

left me wasted and so cold # But I can take it, I'm hanging on

# Can't let go # There's a madness in my soul

tonight # Can't let go

# Must ride it like the storm # Can't let go

# Will I run out of control tonight? # Can't let go

# Until every trace is gone. # Can't let go

# can't let go # Can't let go

# Can't let go # # Look around corners

# Try to find peace of mind, I say # Try to keep a straight course not

easy # A certain reaction we find

# What should it try to be, I mean # If there are many

# Meaning the same # Be specific just a game

# Shake your hair girl with your ponytail

# Takes me right back (when you were young)

# Throw your precious gifts into the air

# Watch them fall down (when you were young)

# Lift up your feet and put them on the ground

# You used to walk upon (when you were young)

# Lift up your feet and put them on the ground

# The hills were higher (when we were young)

# Lift up your feet and put them on the ground

# The trees were taller (when you were young)

# Lift up your feet and put them on the ground

# You used to walk upon (when you were young)

Let's hear it for George on the saxophone.

from heaven # Is this a heaven?

# I'd like to think so # Standards of living rising daily

# But for the sweet home it's only a saying

# # From bell push to faucet

# In a smart town apartment # The cottage is pretty

# The main house, a palace # Penthouse perfection

# But what goes on # What to do there

# Better pray there # Open-plan living

# Bungalow ranch style # All of its comforts

# Seem so essential # I bought you mail order

# My plain wrapper baby # Your skin is like vinyl

# The perfect companion # You float in my new pool

# De-Luxe and delightful # Inflatable doll

# My role is to serve you # Disposable darling

# Can't throw you away now # Immortal and life size

# My breath is inside you # I dress you up daily

# And keep you till death sighs # Inflatable doll

# Lover ungrateful # I blew up your body

# But you blew my mind # Oh, those heartaches

# Dream home heartaches # Oh, those heartaches

# Dream home heartaches # Oh, those heartaches

# Dream home heart aches On keyboards, our band leader,

Paul. # You - the hero

# So many times # You've loved

# And didn't linger # Now my finger

# Points at you # Another loser

# You - an island # On your own

# Complete # In every detail

# Monumental # A precious jewel

# Or just a fool # Innovator

# It's in your mind # And blood

# I watch it simmer # I see you're courting

# More despair # No hope

# Not a glimmer # Now you're nothing

# But second hand # In glove

# With second rate now # Now you're flirting

# With heroin # Or is it cocaine?

# I troll downtown the red light place

# Jump up bubble up - what's in store

# Love is the drug and I need to score

# Showing out, showing out, hit and run

# Boy meets girl where the beat goes on

# Stitched up tight, can't shake free

# The locked embrace, the stumble round

# Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

# Make me a deal and make it straight

# All signed and sealed, I'll take it

# I hope and pray he don't blow it cos

# We've been around a long time just try try try tryin' to

# Take me on a roller coaster # Take me for an airplane ride

# Take me for a six days wonder but don't you

# Don't you throw my pride aside besides

# What's real and make believe # Baby Jane's in Acapulco

# We are flyin' down to Rio # Throw me a line I'm sinking fast

# Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving

# Last picture shows down the drive-in

# Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise

# So me and you, just we two got to search for something new

# That's where I'll make my stand but wait

# Both ends burning, will the fires keep

# Somewhere deep in my soul tonight # Both ends burning with a strange

desire # That feeds the fire in my soul

tonight # Both ends burning while you're

counting sheep # Hell - who can sleep in this heat

this night? # Come on, cop on, let's stick

together # You know we made a pact to leave

# # Let's stick together, come on, cop

on, let's stick together # You know we made a vow to leave

one another better # Let's stick together

# Come on, come on, let's stick together

# You know we made a vow to leave one another better

# Well, if you're stuck for a while consider our child

# You want to make us stick together # Come on, come on, let's stick

together # You know we made a vow to leave

one another never # # They say love's a gamble, hard to

win, easy lose # And while sun shines you'd better

make hay # So if life is your table and fate

is the wheel # Then let the chips fall where they

may # And as I was drifting past the

Lorelei # I heard those slinky sirens wail

- whooo # So look out sailor when you hear

them croon # You'll never be the same again

oh no # Their crazy music drives you

insane - this way # Learn from your mistakes is my

only advice # And stay cool is still the main

rule # Too much cheesecake too soon

# Old money's better than new # No mention in the latest Tribune

# And don't let this happen to you # Thought that you were trying to

hide Magnificent!
