![]() Siren (1975) [ larger cover art ] |
T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up, what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up, what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me

Mmmmm. |

I bought the vinyl album when it came out in 1980, that's 29 years ago - so it has had a long rest. This song is from the Siren album that came out in 1975. The first 5 Roxy albums, including Siren, are pretty cool art rock albums. There is a small component of Cheese in their work ( I'm sure it's courtesy of the crooner himself, Mr Ferry) but then again, cheese can sometimes be pretty tasty. The "fromage a trois" ... smelly but it tastes good. |

| Carl (The Summit City) | Posted: Dec 13, 2009 - 17:46 Excellent seamless transition from Feist "My Moon My Man"! |

| rolland69 (Jax, Fl) | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 08:04 I am sitting in my cube writing a training program for Self-administered Specialty Drugs. The word drug is on every page more or less. Then this song comes on and three beats into it I knon it will now be forever linked to this training module. FOREVER. D'Oh! |
