Roxy Music - Trash Lyrics






Are you customised or ready-made'
Heavy metal trick or treat'
Only seventeen
On the level trash is neat
Teenage fever oh you've got it bad
Caught the flavour want it all
Only seventeen
Bet you know the trash I mean
Row your features into magazines
Go to Plaza - where's the trade'
Only seventeen
Slips are lower trash is in

Roxy Music Trash Comments
  1. D.... H....

    This sounds like a cover version of a song nobody bothered to write. Possibly the weakest song they ever made.

  2. s.... h....

    当時としては珍しく、ヴィデオ収録。歳バレる。

  3. P.... ....

    Uncomfortable with these lyrics. Ironic or...a little hateful? I love Roxy...but not this one. Can't imagine they are Mr. Ferry's sentiments. My Feminist filter allows itself many a blindspot for Roxy but this one doesn't get through. The entrance is fantastic though!

    P.... ....

    Maybe a reference to Jerry Hall? She left Bryan for Mick Jagger the same year this album was made.

  15. S.... ....

    Good bass player but his look is more suited to Status Quo Mk II.

    S.... ....

    gary tibbs of adam and the ants prob was only 17 lol david skinner keys too

  16. S.... ....

    By this time Ferry even looked adult contemporary in his face somehow.

  17. M.... ....

    What a fantastic entrance here by Ferry - coming through the mannequins - a great song that was to sum up the next decade in both style and substance (lack of). And all the better for it.

    M.... ....

    +MrSunrecords1956 YES I like the way he comes running down the stairs and catches the microphone and starts singing. but I do like trash 2 better that was on the B side of the single but was never on the LP manifresto

    M.... ....

    We need the 80s now more than ever!

  18. A.... C....

    I was really excited when I heard they were reforming in '79 - then this thing came out! Hardly their finest hour. Thought they'd forgotten how to do it. Fortunately the rest of the album was pretty good.

  19. d.... a....

    trash... on the level is in.

    d.... a....

    duane anderson mssLlddz

  20. R.... ....

    Heavy Metal.

  21. M.... ....

    This is really neat. I remember how excited I was when they reunited and toured in '79. What's up with that crazy drum set Paul Thompson?

    M.... ....

    better yet if possible where is paul the great at in the video???

  22. R.... O....

    posh meets punk. Keep it up lads.
    Diamond Dogs and their owner

    R.... O....

    Yeah
    basically
    at the time

  23. m.... h....

    this video was shot in the foyer of THE REGAL cinema in fulham which closed in 1970. it then became a rehearsal building for roock bands. it was sadly demolished many years ago & the site is now a supermarket... :o(

    m.... h....

    Didn't know that. Thank you, I love the trivia bits!

  24. v.... ....

    No doubt my least favotite Roxy album!

  25. S.... ....

    There never was a cooler band

  26. N.... ....

    Only this song - the artist (Roxy Music) is a national treasure but this song was lacking.

  27. m.... ....

    trash 2 is the better version. ferrys vocals strong and pure as on much of manifesto. trash is a good track phillip should not diss it. so what that it barely entered the top40 singles chart at the time. then god help us, dance away was a big hit followed by a flimsy version of angel eyes from what was quite a powerful album track.and so the terrible decline in ferrys vocals and the bands musical strength began,alas.

  28. M.... ....

    Interestingly this is one of Phil m's least favorite songs "Trash by name,trash by nature...." I reckon it's a goodun......

    M.... ....

    One man's trash..... I agree. I love it (-:

  29. F.... L....

    Brings so many memories back, well done for finding this!!
