As a kid hearing this song, the lead-off track to their 1972 debut album, I was simply mystified. The song made little sense and Bryan Ferry's voice alone caused me stress. Today, of course, I can only wish I was as cool as my mate Frank Lambert who dug this song on first listen. I'm hardly the same musically conservative kid I once was because eventually I came around to the brilliance that is Roxy Music.
