Bitter Sweet - Roxy Music (Cover)

From their 1974 album Country Life. One of the first Roxy Music songs that caught my attention, with its both alluring and threatening mood, its profound lyrics and unique experimental nature. Bryan Ferry at his best. 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 bittersweet applause But when the show's in full swing Every once in a while High stepping chorus lines 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 Das Ende der Welt Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst Und das Spiel geht weiter Wie man weiß Noch viele schönste Wiedersehn' And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile As if to compensate Then you break down and cry (Lyrics at vivaroxymusic.com) To hear more of my Roxy/Ferry covers, take a look at this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list... ... and also, if you enjoyed my singing, I do covers of other artists as well.
