T'aint no big thing



I'm so excited! The BBC Proms season tickets have gone on sale today, and as usual my first priority is the grand finalé.

I have just booked two tickets to the ultimate season-closer, our annual pilgrimage, Proms in the Park - starring tenor Joseph Calleja, Nigel Kennedy, Sir Terry Wogan, the BBC Concert Orchestra, Dame Edna Everage...

...and none other than Bryan Ferry!



Wow.


T'aint no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T'aint no big thing,
The toll of the bell

Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - what's in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, cant shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of,
Yeah, cant you see?
Love is the drug for me

T'aint no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T'aint no big thing,
The toll of the bell

Late that night I park my car,
Stake my place in the singles bar,
Face to face, toe to toe,
Heart to heart as we hit the floor

Lumber up, limbo down,
The locked embrace, the stumble round,
I say go, she say yes,
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Yeah, catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of,
Yeah, cant you see?
Love is the drug for me

T'aint no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T'aint no big thing,
The toll of the bell

Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - what's in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, cant shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of,
Oh oh, cant you see?
Love is the drug for me

      I'm sorry that I made you cry.
      Oh no, I didn't mean to hurt you.
      You're just a jealous guy."

    1. Plenty of time to cultivate the "lounge lizard" look (as opposed to the "marina iguana" look...). Jx

    1. As soon as I found out he was on the bill, I thought of you and your "Ferry-mania" of last year! Jx

    2. Hehehe - I am glad to say he did indeed deliver a fantastic concert! Hope to see him again in the future. BTW, have you seen/heard his recent cover of "Back To Black" (Amy Winehouse). I love it!

    3. I have actually heard very little of his "Jazz Age" stuff - that is rather good (even if he could do with polishing up his diction to do this style of music justice)! I am sure Miss Winehouse would have loved it, had she ever been sober enough to pay attention. Jx
