Product Information

Lyrics’ presents his entire body of work, including his six post-Roxy Music solo long players, the latest being 2014’s aptly titled ‘Avanmore’. Ferry’s solo career has extended into the new millennium with a collection of Bob Dylan covers entitled Dylanesque.

Perhaps Ferry’s words on the book’s back cover sum it up his worldview best, “In every dream home a heartache, And every step I take Takes me further from heaven, Is there a heaven? There are some songs that through our lives when you hear them playing on the radio or via your own playlist, they will take you back to those moments in your life for reasons of real happiness or moments of deep sadness.
