(Lennon)
Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright
It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no

Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Whatever gets you to the light 'salright, 'salright
Out the blue or out of sight 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Bryan Ferry (born September 26 1945) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who rose to prominence as the lead singer and main songwriter for the influential art/glam rock band Roxy Music.

Ferry’s unique vocal style puts a wry, sophisticated spin on the sound of the crooners of the mid 20th-century. An accomplished songwriter, his solo career also saw him singing celebrated covers of the Great American Songbook and jazz standards. On his seminal 1973 solo album These Foolish Things he also covered ’60s hit rock songs like the Rolling Stones' “Sympathy for the Devil” and the Beatles “You Won’t See Me,” establishing something of the formula for his solo albums until the 1980s.

He dated model Jerry Hall, before her marriage to Mick Jagger. Their break up inspired his 1978 solo album The Bride Stripped Bare. After putting Roxy Music on hiatus 1982, Ferry released Boys and Girls in 1985, featuring original material. Ferry’s solo career has extended into the new millennium with a collection of Bob Dylan covers entitled Dylanesque. His 2014 album Avonmore returns to his classic Roxy Music sound.
