Bitter - Sweet Lyrics - Roxy Music

Well, this is such a sad affair 

I've opened up my heart, oh, so many times 

But now it's closed 

Oh, my dear 

Every salted tear, it wrings 

Bitter-sweet applause 

But when the show is in full swing 

Every once in a while 

High stepping chorus lines mean I'm forgetting 

Mein lullaby-liebchen 

How rich in contrast, love can be 

Sometimes I'm quite amused 

To see it twist and turn 

To taste both sweet and dry 

These vintage years 

Lovers, you consume, my friend 

As others, their wine 

Nein das ist nicht 

Das ende der welt 

Gestrandet an leben und kunst 

Und das spiel geht weiter 

Wie man weiss 

Noch viele sch'nste wiedershen 

And now as you turn to leave 

You try to force a smile as if to compensate 

Then you break down and cry
