디스코 느낌의 오프닝 트랙인 Love Is the Drug를 시작으로 Whirlwind, Both Ends Burning등 리드미컬한 록 기반 사운드와 End of the Line과 Sentimental Fool등 록 발라드로 채워진 전체적으로 매우 일관성 있는 글램 록 앨범이다.
평가적으로도 For Your Pleasure, Avalon과 더불어 가장 호평받는 록시 뮤직 앨범 중 하나이다. 일관성있고 예술적인 경향을 보여주는 가사와 소리는 좋은 평가를 받았다.
앨범 커버는 브라이언 페리의 당시 여자친구이자 슈퍼모델인 제리 헐[1]이 웨일스의 해변가에서 세이렌의 분장을 한 모습이다. 브라이언 페리가 다큐멘터리에서 웨일스 해변가를 보고 생각해냈다고 한다.
록시 뮤직의 마지막 글램 록 앨범이다. 성공적이였던 Siren 투어 이후 라이브 앨범인 Viva!를 남긴 후 1976년 밴드는 해체되었으며, 2년 뒤 재결합때는 시대에 맞춰 새로운 음악을 시도하게 된다.
Sentimental FoolSurely you cannot be leading me on? Well if that's so, however can I love again? How could I believe again? How can I hold on?
Sentimental fool Knowing that 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 Don't you see what's happening? You're better without it. No, that's not the case If you were in my place, You never would 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 a minute.
A woman in love Can make you feel good You 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?
WhirlwindMay Day Cut down to size again What then When less is more my friend I'll change Let me start again Disguise It's too weird to explain
Why I'll Always call your name Adieu, with you I could be anything That I want to be, or see
Whirlwind Wildfire and driving rain Wheels spin Bowl me over hurricane Whirlwind Crack your cheeks and blow Me Far So far How far Is Shangri-la from here And is it this way?
There she blows Tear me down tornado Whirlpool Drag me to the deeps below Whirlwind Will a wildcat strike be tame?
Earthquake Shake me to my feet again It's crosswords go you near A fatal clue I fear This case is closed Elementally, my dear. Beware Whirlwind
She SellsNow you're talking in headlines Up to the minute and free Stop press, hold the front page Up as a mirror Are you reading me?
Watch you walking in waltz time A jigsaw puzzle in tune Or are you faking a straight line To suit yourself too soon Rather nouveau than never Contemporary ideal Some natural kind of poet might slow it But she sells more my speed
She sells country and modern Ancient western song Of oriental confusion You so right, me so wrong
Now you're fixing to fly me Auto-erotic, please, On the break that you're gliding. Your lingerie's a gift-wrap Slip it to me
Nine till five The daily grind Made-up lies Make up my mind Same machine consuming you Consuming you
Oh why She sells I need Oh why love why She sells I need.
Could It Happen to Me?Do you know what it means to me To delight in your company Could it happen to me?
Do you know what I’m certain of I would love to fall in love Could it happen to me?
Hey, won’t you look at me Now I’m cracked wide open I can’t conceal My all-over trembling, I’m acting strange And while you’re out of reach I’ll never change
God knows, I’m beside myself If a tear’s a crime then I must confess My guilty secret, I’m not ashamed Take me as I am, an average man
Oh boy, is it getting rough When my old world charm isn’t quite enough I throw you cantos, I jazz ’em up But when I lay me down, you don’t pick up
Once more, it’s a crying shame Only this time no one but myself to blame All I touch turns to dust It’s right there in my cards I ought to cut
Let us sing of the tortured heart And the lonely soul in his world apart As he plays the field, takes a little pain Then move our separate ways again
Is it easy to say ‘I do’ At this moment ‘I love you’ Seems beyond me, it’s true
Now that evening is closing in Should I light that fire again? Could it happen to me Did it happen to you?
Just Another HighMaybe your heart is aching I wouldn’t know now would I? Maybe your spirit’s breaking up I shouldn’t care now should I? Maybe you’re thinking of me Well I don’t know now do I? If only you knew how I feel, oh Wish I could die now, don’t I?
I’m just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Just another high
Couldn’t believe in my eyes You drifted into my life But marriages made in heaven Can they survive in this life? Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle Well I really blew my cool, and you You just blew out the candle
Didn’t you try just another high? Didn’t you sigh as you waved goodbye Just another high
I’m just another crazy guy Playing with love was another high Such a crazy high
Lately it seems so empty here But I suppose I’m alright Maybe tomorrow’s not so clear Still I remember that night Singing to you like this is My only way to reach you And though I’m too proud to say it Oh how I long to see you
Shattered my dreams by your goodbye Scattered my hopes, they fill the sky Desolate am I I’m just another crazy guy Playing at love was another high Just another high
Well maybe I should start anew And maybe I’ll find someone who Will maybe love me like I love you But maybe I’m too stuck on you Yes maybe I got stuck on you
