(Ferry/Jobson)
Now you’re talking in headlines
Up to the minute and free
Stop press, hold the front page
Up as your mirror
Are you reading me?
Watch you walking in waltz time
A jigsaw puzzle in tune
Or are you faking a straight line
To suit yourself too soon
Rather nouveau than never
Contemporary ideal
Some natural kind of poet might slow it
But she sells more my speed
She sells country and modern
Ancient western song
Of oriental confusion
You so right, me so wrong
Now you’re fixing to fly me
Auto-erotic, please
Of the break that you’re gliding
Your lingerie’s a gift-wrap
Slip it to me
Nine till five the daily grind
Made-up lies make up my mind
Same machine consuming me
Consuming you
Know why
She Sells
Oh why oh why she sells
I need
Oh why oh why she sells
I need
Oh why oh why she sells
I need
Oh why see why she sells
I need
Oh why love why
She sells I need
