    Lyrics:
    In every dream home a heartache
    And every step I take
    Takes me further from heaven
    Is there a heaven?
    I'd like to think so
    Standards of living
    They're rising daily
    But home oh sweet home
    It's only a saying
    From bell push to faucet
    In smart town apartment
    The cottage is pretty
    The main house a palace
    Penthouse perfection
    But what goes on
    What to do there
    Better pray there
    Open plan living
    Bungalow ranch style
    All of it's comforts
    Seem so essential
    I bought you mail order
    My plain wrapper baby
    Your skin is like vinyl
    The perfect companion
    You float in my new pool
    De luxe and delightful
    Inflatable doll
    My role is to serve you
    Disposable darling
    Can't throw you away now
    Immortal and life size
    My breath is inside you
    I'll dress you up daily
    And keep you till death sighs
    Inflatable doll
    Lover ungrateful
    I blew up your body
    But you blew my mind
    Oh those heartaches
    Dreamhome heartaches

      His standards of living they're rising daily with different styles and types of dream homes all have a heartache: apartment, cottage, penthouse, open plan bungalow ranch style, lives alone in a wonderful expensive dream home, the main house a palace, what to do there and he ordered a mail order 'blow up doll' sent in plain wrap for privacy to hide it from prying eyes at the post office and neighbors. Skin like vinyl, perfect companion, immortal lover ungrateful, deluxe delightful life size, disposable darling but can't throw the doll away now, dress the doll up daily, his roll is to serve the doll till death sighs, from blowing it up his breath is inside the doll, it floats in his new pool, the blow up doll blew his mind. He is afraid his steps are taking him away from heaven and he better pray in his dream home...loneliness, alone, no human female companionship, he has no real woman companion, no wife lives with him...is his personal dream home heartache...every dream home has a heartache.

    It's pure J.G Ballard this song! Reminds me of high rise! Wasn't aware that Ballard was an influence on Roxy music, but then I'm sure Ballard can't have been an unknown quantity in art school campus's back then and his influence does tend to pop up in unexpected places.

      Apt observation it seems J. G. Bs work influenced a whole generation of subversive musicians 😂 and I say that in a kind way its wierd how much imagery from his books flood into music videos. For example in reading the drowned world the mental picture I kept getting was the hungry like the wolf video and for some reason because he's vague about clothes my mind starts painting the characters in new romantic/Johnny kidd and the pirates style

Back then roxy were untouchable and brilliant but 2 cut a long storey short Bryan ferry got that full of himself with his phoney posh accent and I'm Bryan ferry who are you attitude ? It's only people of my age remember what a good band they were ? Saw them loads of times so I can honestly say they were top class band of undoubtably high standards 👏👍😋❤️
