Bitter Sweet (Andrew Mackay/Brian Ferry)

--->original: Roxy Music

--->remake: The Venus In Furs f/ Thom Yorke


well this is such a sad affair

i've opened up my heart

oh so many times

but now it's closed



oh my dear

every salted tear it wrings

bitter-sweet applause



but when the show's in full swing

every once in a while

high stepping chorus lines

mean I'm forgetting

mein lullaby - liebchen



how rich in contrast love can be

sometimes I'm quite amused

to see it twist and turn

to taste - both sweet and dry



these vintage years!

lovers you consume, my friend

as others their wine



nein, dass ist nicht das Ende der Welt

Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst

und das Spiel geht weiter

wie man weiss

Noch viele Schoenste ... Wiedersehn



and now, as you turn to leave

you try to force a smile

as if to compensate

then you break down and cry
