Lyrics collects the words written for music across seventeen albums, from the first iconic Roxy album of 1972 via the masterpiece of Avalon to 2014’s reflective Avonmore, introduced by the author, and with an insightful essay by James Truman.
All the classic Roxy anthems are here—’Virginia Plain,’ ‘Do the Strand,’ ‘Love is the Drug,’ ‘The Thrill of it All’—songs in which the real and the make-believe blend in a kaleidoscopic mix, shot through with cinematic allure. Also included are the evocative lyrics of romantic longing and lost illusions for which Ferry is rightly revered: ‘Slave to Love,’ ‘Mother of Pearl,’ ‘More Than This.’ As he writes in his preface, ‘The low points in life so often produce the most keenly felt and best-loved songs.’ And, it might be added, some of the best poetry.

Read the music
Been a follower of Brian Ferry and Roxy Music since they started in early 70s. Here, BF puts down the lyrics of all the songs from Roxy Music as well as his solo albums. Great companion piece for anyone into his music.

You’re better off printing the lyrics on your home printer and using a paper clip to hold the sheets together.THE QUALITY OF THIS BOOK IS TERRIBLE

Tutti i testi delle canzoni del mio cantante preferito, mai banali.
Kreso –
Great, all Bryanâs lyrics in one place!
Phil –
Great to be able establish actual lyrics as opposed to those assumed in certain songs for the last 50 years. Reflects the brilliance , depth & diversity of Ferryâs artistic literacy. Takes me right back when we were young.

Tutti i testi Roxy Music e tutto il Ferry solista in un unico volume.Un preclaro esempio di Stile per l’uso della lingua, le immagini poetiche e il frequente wit wildiano.Un volume bellissimo, stuprato da un unico svarione: nella parte in tedesco di Bittersweet è stato omesso il terzo verso (und das Spiel geht weiter), il che rende il tutto un po’ sibillino. Ma nessuno è perfetto, si sa, anche se auspichiamo una futura correzione.In ogni caso, un tesoro da custofire per tutti i boys and girls di sangue roxyano.
