There's a message buried in their somewhere between the heaven and hell imagery. Penis ennui?
Maybe it's in the lyrics:
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

Roxy Music is one of my favorite all time bands. Their particular brand of art rock/jazz fusion wasn't being done by anyone else. Their music is sexy as hell, especially their Avalon album.
Agreed, Meth.
I used to listen to Avalon from start to finish.... in the bathtub.

in the bathtub.
Oh dear. [fans myself]
I was young and it was all perfectly innocent. It's a bath-tub album!
I thought this might cheer you, April.
Bryan Ferry - yum.
In the 1980's a group of us used to Cruz Colfax on Friday night. The fun was blaring the radio or current mix-tape and laughing with friends. (and checking out the dudes)
We would fight a bit over the choice in music. It was Chaka kahn, Prince, The Motels, or whatever 80's or 70's band we were into. Avalon was not cruzzer music.
Thanks, Chickl. Roxy Music brings the memory lane.
Brian Ferry is wearing a bow tie. I guess they're back in fashion right. My son is wearing one to senior prom.
You do not cruise to Avalon, you fuck to Avalon.
That's hot.
