Ferry, Bryan - Sign Of The Times Lyrics
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Here is another sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh we cry
We know not why
Of another sign of the times
We're chained and bound
Hard lines, crack down
On stony ground
Here is a taste of here and now
Red is the bloody sign of the times
The bride stripped bare
Of all despair
We're cut but we don't care
Here is a rainbow for your hair
Light up in anger I'll be there
Fight for a sign of the times
We live we die
We laugh and we cry
We know not why
Bent on a life between the lines
End on a sign of the times

Magnificent drumming by Rick Morotta
The beard was okay here when it was still designer stubble but he let it grow a little bit more and it looked awful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdwUbk9W7jc Thankfully he's never had a really long shaggy hippy beard like Manzanera had in the early 70s.
Blakes's 7 phoned and said they want the extras back and so does the 1971 Doctor Who story Day Of The Daleks.
Wow! Very cool. Never seen this great video.
This is my favourite Bryan Ferry single.
Don't remember this but love it!
Well considering that video was from 1978 the way he dresses in that video is very 1980s.
MR COOL HIMSELF !!
Pure class
I love how he looks with a beard. Coolest man on the planet. Always years ahead of everybody else.
It wasn't years ahead. Beards had just gone out of fashion with the end of the hippy/prog rock era. Hipster beards are basically a revival of hippy beards - two years without shaving and they think they're Allen Ginsberg.
Pure class
Lyrically there are references to the punk movement and there appears to be some nazi imagery in the video that the early punks may well have appreciated
Try and try and try as I might....I STILL cant be Brian Ferry. Fantastic song by the coolest Englishman ever
Welcome to my world lol
The pigeon's not impressed...
Pigeon. What the fuck you on have another look
1min 18... Lorraine chase.. Nar Luton Airport campari advert
Just waiting for her to start singing "oo-ee-oo"
Love the song and video but whew did Ferry look stoned!!!
Gary Brewer ha yeah
Fucking totally top man
It must've been clear where all this was heading... Ataris, Venetian blinds, airbrushes and Duran Duran.
RObert Palmer copied this video in the famous Addicted to L
ove video
Abraham Lincoln sings a Duchamp-quote (the bride stripped bare)?
The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors. An art work by Marcel Duchamp
Ferry forever.
Lurcio Titters agree to 100%❤️
Luh dat DEVO!
FAB-YOU-LOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He looks like a bond villian.
He is x
Right! Christoph Waltz
In ma spank bank too
Ohh shit....I be right back.
This video needs a lyric caption added, the lyrics are just fantastic and relevant to the moment, whenever that moment is.
Agreed! Is there any more romantic lyric in the world than "Here is a rainbow for your hair..." ??!
The proto Futuristic/New Romantic look
The Cocaine years...
Just follow this one.
Love, love, love this version of an old Petula Clark song!
its a completely different song with different lyrics
This is written by Ferry.
Yea bit apart from that, it's identical! WTF?
What song by Petula Clark?
Hate the beard. Makes him look like the history teacher who occasionally fondled me after class during 1981.
if he did it more than once did you accomodate him?
Ah yes... good times! ;-)
Where do you live
One of the first singles I bought!
Love this song and the video, which reminds me of some of Devo's stuff.
The guy can even grow a great looking beard. FERRY ROCKS!!
Bryan Ferry was one of the best performers.....new wave, romanticism, punk, glam,Caribbean rhythms........all done with total class and style.
The eagle had the time of their life.
BF wrote this song after his breakup with Jerry Hall.
Bryan Ferry, everything with such style.
Still the coolest man on the planet.
This should have been on Manifesto.
The Bride Stripped Bare was the first Bryan Ferry album to catch my notice. A very good album that offers a lot of variety and a good introduction to the man and his music. Ferry, it seems to me, always managed to gather top notch musicians that gave the recordings a sound all their own, especially when joined to such a unique voice.
Wow, that was a strange one. Ferry seems to have accidentally wandered onto the set of a Gary Numan video. And very surprised to see he had a beard for a time. A bizarre curio, thanks for posting this.
Well came out before Numan became big......
Well, in this time the nazi paraphernalia was quite "in", I remember this from the days at Cambridge University in the beginnings of the 80's, all the partys were that style, just a fashion statement, as a backlash to the 70's,,,, i guess,,,, well, anyone else have opinion about this?
Not really, this song was recorded after his girlfriend Jerry Hall left him for Mick Jagger. “Coincidentally” his secret love for Nazi paraphernalia appears in this clip.
At perilous times like these, this song starts to make sense: the eagle over the sphere; the absurd technology in control of the uniforms…, the violent backstage images; bombs and fascist cops over the people…, there's more than meets the eye...., a sign of the times!
TIME TO WAKE UP!!!
the eagle is the sign of Bryan Ferry having a good time in 1978 !
The eagle is a sign of the times; it's, one of the main symbols of Scottish-Rite Freemasonry, is found on the dollar bill.
He always did like his birds pmsfl!
He looks Japanese up close.
Yeah, American dominance I've figured.
The eagle is a Sign of the times…
Bryan was so talented, that he passed through and way above the 70s and 80s, and survived…, more than survived!!!
The beard.. why not? Lemmy shaved for God Save The Queen. But the eagle is the epitome of wtf
This is why I hate videos
I'm stuck on the beard, myself.
Is the eagle from the Avalon album; the whole court of King Arthur thing?
i never saw hi with a beard!
Bryan looks a wee bit Oswald Moseley... I got cornered by a "New world order" bloke at a party last week....99 conspiricies about this and that......I slipped away when the birthday cake came along !
@spooneye The beard is great, too bad it's only here and in his video/cover of the Velvets' "What Goes On" (also on YT and at least one Roxy video compilation).
This would have been '78, and I have to believe someone remembered the girls when Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video was in concept phase about 7 years later. As for the eagle...well, a raptor does show up again on the Avalon cover.
great posting - thanks - haven't seen this one before - great performance - he is just one cool dude!
So many questions. I'm going to start with the beard and the eagle.
