Bryan FerryAbout
The second track on 1973’s Stranded, “Just Like You” (written by frontman Bryan Ferry) is a piano-driven ballad that deals with themes of change and love – and the loss of the latter due to the former – in a uniquely poetic fashion.
Interestingly, as noted by the online Roxy Music encyclopedia Viva...
Just Like You Lyrics
Buttercups, daisies
And most anything
They wither and fade
After blossom in Spring
Time conquers innocence
Pride takes a fall
In knowledge lies wisdom
That's all
Everything changes
Weather blows hot or cold
Through alchemy iron turns gold
Quicksilver baby
So hard to pin down
Oh when are you coming around?
Hopelessly grounded
I walk through the streets
Remembering how we spent time
Hopefully yearning that someday we'll meet
But when will we, how could we - why? Oh my!
Fashion house ladies
Need plenty loose change
When the latest creation
Is last year's fab-rave
Thought patterns hazy
This auto-style age
Will lady luck smile old and sage?
She knows that never again, no
Will I give up my heart
To gamble with fate is my crime
Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book
I'd write it but don't have much time
You see, I know it sounds crazy
But what can I do?
I've fallen head over heels, over you
Chameleon colour
All phases of moon
The shifting of planets
And leopard spots too
As destiny wills it so
Seasons will change
Just like you
