Roxy Music – A Really Good Time

(Ferry)

You´re heard enough

Of the blues and stuff

You´re pretty swell now

´Cause you´re pretty tough

But I don´t have to tell you

How hard it can be to get by

You never bothered

About anyone else

You´re well educated

With no common sense

But love – that´s one thing

You really need to get by

All your troubles

Come from yourself

Nobody hurts you

– They don´t care

Just as long as you show them

A really good time

All the things

You used to do

A trip to the movies

A drink or two

They don´t satisfy you

They don´t tell you anything new

You know I don´t talk much

Except to myself

´Cause I´ve not much to say

And there´s nobody else

Who´s ready and willing

And able to know me – I guess

Listen to me

I´m not finished yet

There´s something to tell you

That I can´t forget

Just have a really good time

There´s a girl

I used to know

Her face is her fortune

She´s got a heart of gold

She never goes out much

But boy – when she does

Then you know

She´s got no money

Well, maybe a dime

But she knows what she´s worth

And that´s reason why

She´s gonna make it

She´s got what it takes

You´ll appreciate that

She´s probably late

But I know

And you know

We all know

She´ll have a really good time
