Roxy Music - Mother Of Pearl (LIVE MUSIKLADEN GERMANY 1974)


Well i've been up all night againParty time wasting is too much funThen I step back thinkingOf lifes inner meaningAnd my latest flingIts the same old storyAll love and gloryIts a pantomimeIf youre looking for loveIn a looking glass worldIts pretty hard to findOh mother of pearlI wouldnt trade youFor another girlDivine interventionAlways my intentionSo I take my timeIve been looking for somethingIve always wantedBut was never mineBut now Ive seen that somethingJust out of reach glowingVery holy grailOh mother of pearlLustrous ladyOf a sacred worldThus even zarathustraAnother time loserCould believe in youWith every goddess a let downEvery idol a bring downIt gets you downBut the search for perfectionYour own predilectionGoes on and on and on and onCanadian club loveA place in the countryEveryones idealBut you are my favoritaAnd a place in your heart dearMakes me feel more realOh mother of pearlI wouldnt change youFor the whole worldYou're highbrow holyWith lots of soulMelancholy shimmeringSerpentine sleeknessWas always my weaknessLike a simple tuneBut no dilettanteFiligree fancyBeats the plastic youCareer girl coverExposed and anotherSlips right into viewOh looking for loveIn a looking glass worldIs pretty hard for youFew throwaway kissesThe boomerang missesSpin round and roundFall on featherbed quiltedFaced with silkSoftly stuffed eider downTake refuge in pleasureJust give me your futureWell forget your pastOh mother of pearlSubmarine loverIn a shrinking worldOh lonely dreamerYour choker provokesA picture cameoOh mother of pearlSo so semi-preciousIn your detached worldOh mother of pearlI wouldnt trade youFor another girl
