If you clicked on this you either recognize the title as being one of Roxy Music's best tunes or you were just curious.

To me, this track is the best they ever did, it has such a scope, both musically and lyrically...

From their second album For Your Pleasure, the song always seems to get me in a certain mood...dunno how to describe THAT, except with word like dark, brooding and pressing.



In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They´re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It´s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there

Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of it’s comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can´t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I´ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind

Oh those heartaches
Dreamhome heartaches

Evil.

Sorry to be a stickler, but it's from their 2nd album.

LoL, serious? Then I got the dates in my WMP wrong, hehehe.

And what is evil?

GooeyTheHamster said:

Yup. 1973.

The song is evil. It freaks me out. In a good way of course.

It's a wonderful track from a wonderful album. I wouldn't call it their best song, but it is certainly one of their most notorious, and rightfully so.

love this track, easily the best Roxy Music ever made, and as a bonus I got to hear it live 2 or 3 years ago
