She Sells Lyrics - Roxy Music

Now 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 

Of 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 me 

Consuming you 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

She sells, I need 

Oh why? Love why? 

She sells, I need 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

She sells, I need 

Oh why? She why? 

She sells, I need 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

She sells, I need
