3집
Stranded와 같이
글램 록과
아트 록 색채를 이아나가는 동시에
하드 록 성향을 보여준다. 오프닝 트랙 The Thrill of It All 이나 록시 뮤직의 네 번째 히트곡 All I want is You, 라이브에 자주 등장했던 Out of the Blue, 그리고 전위적인 하드 록 넘버 Casanova 등 업 템포의 아트 록 음악으로 대부분 구성되었다.
앨범 커버에는 두 명의 모델 콘스탄체 카롤리와 에벨린 그룬왈드[1]가 옷을 거의 입지 않은 모습으로 등장한다.
브라이언 페리는 포르투갈에서 그들을 만나 Bitter-Sweet 의 독일어 파트 번역 작업을 도와달라 하였고 앨범 커버에 나와달라고 부탁한다. 당연히 이 자극적이며 선정적인 앨범 아트는 논란이 되었고 미국, 네덜란드, 스페인 등에서 검열되었지만 막상 영국에서는 검열되지 않았다.
The Thrill of It All
The sky is dark
The wind is cold
The night is young
Before it's old and grey
We will know
The thrill of it all
The time has come
It's getting late
It's now or never
Don't hesitate or stall
When I call
Don't spoil
The thrill of it all
And before you go to sleep at night
Preying shadows, do they ask you why?
And in the morning through the afternoon
Do you wonder where you're going to?
Every word I use
Each crumpled page
Strange ideas
Mature with age
Like leaves
When autumn falls
Turn gold
Then they hit the ground
Every time I hear
The latest sound
It's pure whiskey
Reeling round and around
My brain
Oh and all oh that jive
It's driving me wild
The dizzy spin I'm in
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I hear your name
All over the place
Hey girl
Though you're gone
Still I recall
The thrill of it all
You might as well know what is right for you
And make the most of what you like to do
For all the pleasure that's surrounding you
Should compensate for all you're going through
So if you're feeling fraught
With mental strain
Too much thinking's got you down again
Well let your senses skip
Stay hip
Keep cool
To the thrill of it all
When you try too much
You lose control
Pressure rises
And so I'm told
Something's got to give
High life ecstasy
You might as well live
I can't see
I can't speak
I couldn't take more than another week
Without you, oh no
So I will drink my fill
Till the thrill is you
Oh the thrill of it all
Oh the thrill of it all
No I won't forget
The thrill of it all
No no no no no no no
All I Want Is You
Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you’re leaving me, we’re through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you’d change your mind, I’m sure
Don’t want to hear
What’s going on
I don’t care what’s new
Don’t want to know
About anything
Cos all I want is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since I fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don’t want to know
About one-night stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All I want is the real thing
And a night that lasts for years
If you ever change your mind
I’ve a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L’amour, toujours l’amour
Don’t want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should I try to talk correct
Like they do in other scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You’re starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course I can’t refuse
All I want is you
Ooh ooh
I’m all cracked up on you
Triptych
Here the soil is barren
Here nothing grows
But crosses
They know not what they do
You, your forgiveness
Falls as dew
Nailed upon a wooden frame
Twisted yet unbroken
Open-mouthed a silent choir
Understood, unspoken
Never was there heard a sound
Until the heavens opened
Now the tide is turning
To other-worldly yearning
Though the sun’s eclipse seems final
Surely he will rise again

경건(敬虔, godliness)에 대한 노래이다.
브라이언 페리가
기독교인이라는 것을 생각하면 나무 뼈대에 못 박힌 인물은 예수를 지칭하는 것으로 추측된다.
A Really Good Time
You’ve heard enough
Of the blues and stuff
You’re pretty swell now
Cos you’re pretty tough
But I don’t have to tell you
How hard it can be to get by
You never bothered
About anyone else
You’re well educated
With no common sense
But love, that’s one thing
You really need to get by
All your troubles
Come from yourself
Nobody hurts you
They don’t care
Just as long as you show them
A really good time
All the things
You used to do
A trip to the movies
A drink or two
They don’t satisfy you
They don’t tell you anything new
You know I don’t talk much
Except to myself
Cos I’ve not much to say
And there’s nobody else
Who’s ready and willing
And able to know me, I guess
Listen to me
I’m not finished yet
There’s something to tell you
That I can’t forget
Just have a really good, really
Really good, really good time
There’s a girl
I used to know
Her face is her fortune
She’s got a heart of gold
She never goes out much
But boy when she does
Then you know
She’s got no money
Well, maybe a dime
But she knows what she’s worth
And that’s reason why
She’s gonna make it
She’s got what it takes
You’ll appreciate that
She’s probably late
But I know
And you know
We all know
She’ll have a really good time
Prairie Rose
Texas
Oh that’s where I
Belong
It seems to me
Texas
Lonesome star
Shine on
The big country
Texas
With open skies
And you
For company
Texas
Oh prairie rose
How happy
I should be
Hey hey
You can take it from me
Hey hey
I’ll be coming, you’ll see
Hey hey
Oh what a state to be in
Hey hey
You’re tantalising me
Texas
I will compose
In fancy rhyme
Or just plain prose
Texas
A song of praise
To you
Prairie rose
Texas
Though I’m not sure
I can explain
Your strange allure
Texas
Oh prairie rose
A crown of thorns
A scented flower
Hey hey
I’d better leave right away
Hey hey
I can hear you calling me
