Roxy Music Sentimental Fool HQ with Lyrics in Description

Track 3 from their fifth album “Siren” released in 1975 copyright Atco Records. It was recorded at AIR Studios in London, where the band was formed in 1970. Their first few albums consisted of experimental, almost avant-garde material that would later influence the punk and electronic music styles that came later. This was mainly due to Brian Eno’s unique style and the new and creative ideas that he incorporated as their keyboard player during that time. He left the band before this album was recorded, likely due to creative differences with leader, lead vocalist and main songwriter Bryan Ferry. Ferry was often compared to David Bowie for his vocal style and fashion sense and was obviously very influenced by him because as we all know, Bowie was the man. The band was much more popular in the U.K. and Europe with a devoted fanbase there but they had several worldwide hits that charted well everywhere. The album received nothing but excellent reviews and is considered by some critics to be the band’s masterpiece or at least their first, considering how great “Avalon” is. Chris Thomas’ production is impeccable and was instrumental in the album’s success. As a youngster, he was lucky enough to work with the great George Martin at Abbey Road Studios. He was in charge of mixing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and was a large part of making it the magnificent album it is. Supermodel Jerry Hall, who was Bryan Ferry's girlfriend at the time, is featured on the album cover in one of the first jobs of her career. Written by Bryan Ferry & Andy Mackay and produced by Chris Thomas. RIP John Gustafson. Featuring: Bryan Ferry – Lead vocals, keyboards & harmonica Phil Manzanera – Lead & rhythm guitars Eddie Jobson – Violin & synthesizers Andy Mackay – Oboe & sax John Gustafson – Bass Paul Thompson – Drums Surely you cannot be leading me on? Well if that's so, how ever again will I love? How could I believe again? How can I hold on? (Sentimental fool, the knowing, the fate is cruel) (You ought to forget it) Yes, I know it's true, I've seen what love can do But I don't regret it (Oh, you silly thing, can't you see what's happening?) (You're better without it) No, that's not the case, if you were in my place Then you wouldn't doubt it (Sentimental fool who broke the golden rule) (You couldn't resist it) Though it's all in vain, I'd do it all again Just to relive one minute A woman in love can make you feel good You'll know what you're living for She'll give you so much and keep you in touch With all that's worth living for Oh, once she gets in through thick and through thin She'll show you what living's for The rhythm of love, it must go on Can't stop The beat of your heart is like a drum Will it stop?
