Virginia Plain - Roxy Music, Griff Rhys Jones

Make me a deal and make it straight

All signed and sealed, I'll take it

To Robert E. Lee I'll show it

I hope and pray he don't blow it, 'cause

We've been around a long time

Just try try try try tryin' to make make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster

Take me for an airplane ride

Take me for a six day wonder

But don't you throw don't you throw my pride aside besides

What's real and make believe?

Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio

Throw me a line, I'm sinking fast

Clutching at straws, can't make it

Havana sound we're trying

A hard edge, a hipster jiving, ohh

Last picture show's down the drive-in

You're so sheer, you're so chic, teenage rebel of the week

Flavours of the mountain streamline

Midnight blue casino floors

Dance the Cha-Cha through till sunrise

Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow!

Just like flamingoes look the same

So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon

Some place near the desert strand

And where my Studebaker takes me

That's where I'll make my stand, but wait!

Can't you see her Holzer mane?

What's her name?
