Mother of Pearl [Konserthaus, Stockholm, Sweden]
Roxy Music
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? Yes(No no no no)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? Yes(No no no no)Well, I've been up all night againParty time wasting is too much funThen I step back thinkingOf life's inner meaning and my latest flingIt's the same old storyAll love and glory, it's a pantomimeIf you're looking for loveIn a looking glass worldIt's pretty hard to findOh, mother of pearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlDivine interventionAlways my intentionSo I take my timeI've been looking for somethingI've always wanted but was never mineBut now I've seen that somethingJust out of reach glowing very Holy grailOh, mother of pearlLustrous lady of a sacred worldThus even ZarathustraAnother time loserCould believe in youWith every Goddess a let downEvery idol a bring down, it gets you downBut the search for perfectionYour own predilectionGoes on and on and on and onCanadian Club loveA place in the CountryEveryone's idealBut you are my FavoritaAnd a place in your heart, dearMakes me feel more realOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't change youFor the whole worldYou're highbrow, holyWith lots of soulMelancholy shimmeringSerpentine sleeknessWas always my weaknessLike a simple tuneBut no dilettante, filigree 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 futureWe'll 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 wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girlOh, Mother of PearlI wouldn't trade youFor another girl
