And the present thing tends anyway to be only sex, bodies, not romantic love particularly except to the degree that sex itself is or seems like romance. The public Ferry persona is capable of deep or at least yearning feelings only in remembrance, it sometimes seems. It may be that the persona is in fact too self-absorbed for love, capable only of lust and sating desire. It is easy after all to remember - which can easily mean invent - a romantic glow after the orgasms are done with." Exactly, Tim! Wish you were at coffee yesterday to say just that - instead I blurted out something like 'Ferry's into the chase rather than the substance of an affair. Thanks for saying it so well!!! Best wishes.

I find sometimes with these moments from Roxy/Ferry songs that although it is a beautiful lyric it's the way he sings it that makes it special.

Did anyone see Stars in their Eyes (British talent show where people impersonate famous singers) at the weekend? Well, there was a guy on there who had applied for the show about 5 times to be 5 different people - one of whom was Bryan Ferry. We all know that our Bry is tall and slim. Well, this guy was the opposite. He ended up as Bobby picket singing 'The Monster Mash'. Hmmm.
