“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” —“The Thrill of It All,” Roxy Music

“
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 o’ that jive
It’s driving me wild -
The dizzy spin I’m in
Everywhere I look
I see your face
I hear your name
It’s all over the place
Hey girl
Though you’ve gone
Still I recall
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?” —“The Thrill of It All,” Roxy Music

“
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
“Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.” —T.S. Eliot, “Four Quartets”
