The Picture's Changing Every Moment



Avalon
Roxy Music (1982)
The final studio album by Roxy Music was released 40 years ago today.  It was the #1 album in the UK for three weeks, and while it didn't chart as high across the pond, it did go on to sell over a million copies in the United States.

Roxy Music went their separate ways in 1983.  Although Bryan Ferry has reunited the band on several occasions for tours in the years that followed, they never recorded another studio album after Avalon.
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No, there's nothing
