Roxy Music Tribute EP

Ladytron

You've got me on the run around you've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around and it is getting me down

Lady if you want to find a lover 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

Virginia Plain

Make me a deal and make it straight all signed and sealed, I'll take it

To Robert E. Lee I'll show it I hope and pray he don't blow it because

We've been around a long time just trying to make the big time

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 flying down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast clutching at straws can't make it

Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving

Last picture shows down the drive-in you're so sheer you're so chic

Teenage rebel of the week flavours of the mountain steamline

Midnight blue casino floors dance the cha-cha through until sunrise

Open up exclusive doors just like flamingos look the same

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

Far beyond the pale horizon some place near the desert strand

Where my Studebaker takes me that's where I'll make my stand but wait

Can't you see that Holzer mane what's her name Virginia Plain

Do The Strand

There's a new sensation a fabulous creation a danceable solution to teenage revolution

Do the Strand love when you feel love it's the new way that's why we say do the Strand

Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's slow and gentle sentimental

All styles served here Louis says he prefer Laissez-faire Le Strand

Tired of the tango fed up with fandango dance on moonbeams slide on rainbows

In furs or blue jeans you know what I mean do the Strand

Had your fill of Quadrilles The Madison and cheap thrills bored with the Beguine

The samba isn't your scene they're playing our tune by the pale moon

We're incognito down the Lido and we like the Strand

Arabs at oasis eskimos and Chinese if you feel blue look through Who's Who

See La Goulue and Nijinsky do the Strandsky

Weary of the Waltz and mashed potato schmaltz Rhododendron is a nice flower

Evergreen it lasts forever but it can't beat Strand power

The Sphinx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica did the Strand

Love Is The Drug

It ain't no big thing to wait for the bell to ring it ain't no big thing the toll of the bell

Aggravated spare for days 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 love is the drug, got a hook on me

Catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of

Can't you see love is the drug for me

Late that night I park my car stake my place in the singles bar

Face to face, toe to toe heart to heart as we hit the floor

Lumber up, limbo down the locked embrace, the stumble round

I say go, she say yes dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of

Can't you see love is the drug for me

Angel Eyes

Angel eyes am I deceived or did you sigh

For all I know you let your lovelight shine on me

Angel eyes you never close, who's got the time

I can wait until your lovelight shine on me

Angel eyes seems to me you fill the skies

I'm far below so let your lovelight shine on me

Angel eyes on the wing and open wide

No matter how high the moon shine down on me

Avalon

Now the party's over I'm so tired

Then I see you coming out of nowhere

Much communication in a motion

Without conversation or a notion

Avalon

When the samba takes you out of nowhere

And the background is fading out of focus

The picture changing every moment

And your destination you don't know it

Avalon

When you bossa nova there's no holding

Would you have me dancing out of nowhere

Avalon
