Roxy Music performs their classic for a Swedish crowd. Roxy Music is an English art rock band formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter, and bassist Graham Simpson. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesiser and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesiser and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1976 and again in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time. Despite a 18-year gap between activity Roxy Music never officially split up. Ferry frequently enlisted many Roxy members as session musicians for his solo releases. :: Mother of Pearl :: Turn the lights down Way down low Turn up the music Hi as fi can go All the gang´s here Everyone you know It´s a crazy scene Hey there just look over your shoulder Get the picture? No no no no .......(yes) Walk a tightrope Your life-sign-line Such a bright hope Right place, right time What´s your number? Never you mind Take a powder But hang on a minute what´s coming round the corner? Have you a future? No no no no .......(yes) Well i´ve been up all night again Party-time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of life´s inner meaning And my latest fling It´s the same old story All love and glory It´s a pantomime If you're looking for love In a looking glass world It's pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't trade you For another girl Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time I´ve been looking for something I've always wanted But was never mine But now I've seen that something Just out of reach - glowing - Very holy grail Oh mother of pearl Lustrous lady Of a sacred world Thus: even zarathustra Another-time-loser Could believe in you With every goddess a let down Every idol a bring down It gets you down But the search for perfection Your own predilection Goes on and on and on and on Canadian club love A place in the country Everyone's ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldn't change you For the whole world You're highbrow, holy With lots of soul Melancholy shimmering Serpentine sleekness Was always my weakness Like a simple tune But no dilettante Filigree fancy Beats the plastic you Career girl cover Exposed and another Slips right into-view Oh looking for love In a looking glass world Is pretty hard for you Few throwaway kisses The boomerang misses Spin round and round Fall on featherbed quilted Faced with silk Softly stuffed eider down Take refuge in pleasure Just give me your future We'll forget your past Oh mother of pearl Submarine lover In a shrinking world Oh lonely dreamer Your choker provokes A picture cameo Oh mother of pearl So so semi-precious In your detached world Oh mother of pearl I wouldn´t trade you For another girl
