This seven-minute live version of Roxy Music singing "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" is dark and eerily erotic. The lyrics are haunting, and the guitar is fabulous. It is one of those songs I fell in love with the very first time I heard it. I do adore it when friends tell me about a song (as was the case with this one), and I like it an extraordinary amount.
Do give it a listen. After all, if you dislike it, it is only seven minutes out of your life that you will never get back. ::smile::
Oh, and I think you will notice that my music tastes are eclectic, to say the least.
Here are the lyrics to it, because the Brit accent can be difficult at times to understand:
In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They´re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It´s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
Deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can´t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I´ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind
Oh those heartaches
Dreamhome heartaches
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I`d like to think so
Standards of living
They´re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It´s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of its comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
Deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can´t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I´ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind
Oh those heartaches
Dreamhome heartaches

I listened.. and it was okay, but not something that I would want to hear again. For one thing I couldn't understand him half the time. But.. diversity in music is what makes the world go round', right? It may not be something that I would call a favorite, but I am always willing to give a new song a listen! :) Thanks for sharing!

A bit different than what I've listened too, but not bad. The lyrics, I agree are haunting.
