Said Roxy Music in their 1973 single 'Pyjamarama'.
Oh, but how could Bryan Ferry be so right? A man made so perfect, so beautiful. He just makes sense, doesn't he? And his voice is unbelievably suited to Roxy Music's sound.
I think this; some do not.
Anyway, while I do enjoy waxing lyrical about Roxy lyrics, and recommend them to anyone who hasn't already fallen in love, either with Roxy Music or Bryan himself, I feel that you probably don't want to hear about it; so, I will instead move onto something more interesting (or, in my opinion, much less interesting).
The Credit Crunch. Is it right to capitalise those 'C's? It has been said on many topical panel shows that it sounds like some kind of economy-based cereal, and so I won't claim that as my own joke. We're all being told that it's 'on', and it almost definitely is. I think things are more expensive... But then I don't really look. Call me insular, self obsessed, whatever; i just don't tend to buy bread. Anyway, CDs are still pretty much the same price, so I guess that's ok. Can the credit crunch 'end'? Surely such a phenomenon can only be a permanent state of 'things being more expensive', until everything just evens out, and we get paid more, and then the value of the money changes? Otherwise.. What are we meant to do? Just not have as much stuff? Because I need stuff. Stuff pads out my life, lets me glide through it with ease. It reminds me of when I bought it, or who gave it to me, or who I was with, or how I felt, and it lets me relive moments that would otherwise be forgotten. Food, music, films, BOOKS and electricity are all things that I can't go without/cut down on. So don't make me, O' Credit Crunch. Thanks.
Oh, and Credit Crunch, if you're listening, your name sounds stupid.
Because we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl.
