“Valentine to me always had the feeling of a Brecht-Weill Berlin cabaret thing with the la-la-la-la chorus of European street songs, and I deliberately contrasted it with a reggae mood."
(from “The Importance of Being Bryan Ferry” by Timothy White in the October 1985 MUSICIAN).
Tell me something I must know
The burning question why
Half a man is twice as much
When he's on the line
Happiness - hard to get
Valentine in hand
None of them will ever guess
But you understand
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to the great unknown
Tell me something I must know
I'm outside looking in
Train of mirrors none so fair
Let the show begin
How many men in a world of their own
There is no end to the great unknown
