Boys And Girls
Bryan Ferry (1985)
The first studio album released by Bryan Ferry after the members of Roxy Music went their separate ways was released forty years ago today. It remains his most successful solo album to this day, and it includes Slave To Love, which is one of the highest charting singles of his career. I love that song, but my favorite is the next song on the album. It features Nile Rodgers of Chic on guitar, and it's one of those tracks that's best played while driving through the rain on a city street at night. It's called Don't Stop The Dance.
Mama says truth is all that mattersLying and deceiving is sinDrifting through a world that's torn and tatteredEvery thought I have don't mean a thingDon't stop, don't stop the danceNo more music, don't stop the danceMama says love is all that mattersBeauty should be deeper than your skinLiving for the moment, lips and lashesWill I ever find my way again?Don't stop, don't stop the danceNo more music, don't stop the danceMama says only stormy weatherDon't know why there's no sun in the skyFootsteps in the dark come togetherGot to keep on moving or I'll dieDon't stop, don't stop the danceNo more music, don't stop the dance
