True To Life Lyrics
So it gets to seven and I think of nothing
but living in darkness
And the diamond lady, well she's not telling
I don't even know her name
It's amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
well, imagination, it'd leave you standing
out in the cold
Dancing city
Now you're talking
But where's your soul?
You've a thousand faces I'll never know
True to life
True to life
There are complications and compensations
if you know the game
Agitated in Xenon nightly
I'll take you home again
Travel way downtown in search of nothing
but the sky at night
And the diamond lady, well she's not talking
That's alright
True to life
True to life
True to life
So I turn the pages and tell the story
from town to town
People tell me, "Be determined
poor country boy"
Too much luck and too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm with my seaside diamond
I'll soon be home
but living in darkness
And the diamond lady, well she's not telling
I don't even know her name
It's amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
well, imagination, it'd leave you standing
out in the cold
Now you're talking
But where's your soul?
You've a thousand faces I'll never know
True to life
if you know the game
Agitated in Xenon nightly
I'll take you home again
Travel way downtown in search of nothing
but the sky at night
And the diamond lady, well she's not talking
That's alright
True to life
True to life
from town to town
People tell me, "Be determined
poor country boy"
Too much luck and too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm with my seaside diamond
I'll soon be home

Buahhh! Pure playboy sound from the great master!! The fucking English, they have so many genius... Could it be possible a better sound for a sophisticated and seductive scene. And besides, the irony and depth of Sir Ferry's lyrics
One person is left looking for a perfect attachment, a diamond in this persons mind. This one person has realized their imagination cannot be realized and is outdated.
But this person will persist and find someone in the 'dancing city' only to realize the faces are all the same. Including fake Xenon advertising faces. Unless there's a one-night compromise.
So to keep searching, in search of nothing, has been accepted. You are where you are because of too much luck, you are finally on your own. And alone.
