Velvet Goldmine Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Ladytron

Lyricist:Bryan Ferry

You've got me girl on the run around, run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down

Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
'Cause I'm gonna be your only

Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I'll get you

I'll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you

I'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose you
But still you won't suspect me


2.2HB

Lyricist:Bryan Ferry

Oh, I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill my love for you

Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder

Here's looking at you kid, celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid, wipe away tears
Long time since we're together now hope it's forever

Ideal love flies away now
White jacket black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero

Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson

Here's looking at you kid, hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid, at least not yet
Your memory stays it lingers ever will fade away never

Fade away never
Fade away never
Fade away never
Fade away never


3.We Are the Boys

Lyricist:Nick Banks, Jarvis Branson Cocker, Candida Doyle, Stephen
Patrick Mackey, Mark Andrew Webber

We are the boys
And we are a class act
We're getting trashed
So make some noise
We are the boys

We are the lads
We're street wit swags
We need their fags
We got no choice
We are the boys

We are the boys
And we don't ask why
Because we're alive
We are the boys

We are the boys
We're in the place
So shut your face
You've got no choice
We are the boys

We are the guys
We're getting high
While you're getting by
So just make some noise
And we are the boys

We are the boys
And we don't ask why
'Cause we're always right, 'cause we're alive
And we are the boys

We are the boys
And don't look now
'Cause we're coming down
To make new noise
'Cause we are the boys

Now we are the men
And that was then
It won't happen again
But we had no choice
'Cause we were the boys

We were the boys
But we're not anymore
No now we're so mature
Now we've got it short

'Cause we're not so sure
No we're not so sure
We're not so sure
That's for sure
Not so sure as we were
When we were the boys

We were the boys
We were the boys
C'mon, we're still the boys
We're still the boys
We're still the boys

C'mon, we are the boys
We are the boys
We are the boys


4.Ballad of Maxwell Demon

Lyricist:Craig Wedren

Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
Mister, show me the way to earth
The boys of Quadrant 44, vicious metal hounds
Never come around here no more

Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
I'm six feet down and age 25
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive

I came down like water for the age of solar
And hail to the father kiss your sons and daughters goodbye,
goodbye
With steam steady roller lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down

Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it
It's the only sure-fire way to win
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show

I'm here to celebrate the one below
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove

I came down like water for the age of solar
And hail to the father kiss your sons and daughters goodbye,
goodbye
With steam steady roller lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down

I came down like water for the age of solar
I came down like water kiss your sons and daughters, oh

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Your ten feet tall, better walk it back down


5.Baby's On Fire

Lyricist:Brian Peter George Eno

Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter

Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh, the plot is so bewitching

Rescuers row, row
Do your best to change the subject
Blow the wind blow, blow
Lend some assistance to the object

Photographers snip, snap
Take your time, she's only burning
This kind of experience
Is necessary for her learning

If you'll be my flotsam
I could be half the man I used to
They said you were hot stuff
And that's what baby's been reduced to

Juanita and Juan
Very clever with maracas
Making their fortunes
Selling secondhand tobaccos

Juan dances at Chico's
And when the clients are evicted
He empties the ashtrays
And pockets all that he's collected

But baby's on fire
And all the instruments agree that
Her temperature's rising
But any idiot would know that


6.Hot One

Lyricist:Nathan Larson

Well, you're the grand one, have you noticed?
When you walk in all the fairy boys are very nervous
Well, my starship doesn't want me
And neither does his wife

I'm glad I caught you on my view screen, sailor
You're the grand one
Come and court me
'Cause this booing is one of mourning

When my spacesuit comes to warm me
And hold me like a girl
I am the captain of your gravity, Maxwell
Everywhere I see your face

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime
You're mistaken
Momentary seizure of love, oh love

Well, you're the grand one
But darling, I'm a mess
I've got human minds that we can form
But the boys are not impressed

When my spacesuit comes to warm me
Just hold me like a girl
I'll be the captain of your gravity, maxwell
I see your faces in the strangest places

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a crime
You're mistaken
Momentary seizure of love

Hot one
From a starship over Venus to the Sun
But it's a drag
You're so mean
Destroying my belief in, in love, oh love


7.Virginia Plain

Lyricist:Bryan Ferry

Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee, I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it

'Cause we've been around a long time
Just try, try, tryin' to
Make make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander
But don't you, don't you throw away my pride aside

Besides what's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound, we're trying
A hard edge the hipster jiving

For last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the Cha-Cha through 'til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors

Oh wow, just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two
Got to reach for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
And where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand

But wait can't you see that Holzer mane?
What's her name Virginia Plain?


8.Satellite of Love

Lyricist:Lou Reed

Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
Out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of

Satellite's gone
Way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled
With parking cars

I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of

I've been told that you've been bold
With Harry, Mark and John
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to Thursday
With Harry, Mark and John

Satellite's gone
Up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
Out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of

Satellite of love
Satellite of love
Satellite of love
