paroles de chanson Mother of Pearl (Horoscope Version) - Bryan Ferry

Well, I've been up all night
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
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
Never mine
But now I've seen that something
Out of reach, glowing in the
Holy grail

Oh, mother-of-pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus even Zarathustra
Another time loser
Believe in you

With every goddess a let-down
Every idol a bring-down
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 favorite
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
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 feather bed quilted
Faced with silk softly stuffed
Eider down

Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
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, mm
