Re-Make/Re-Model

The lyrics describe a man that likes the look of a woman but is afraid to approach her. Brian Eno and Andy Mackay's backing vocal chorus of "CPL 593H" is the number plate of the car in which the woman is riding. Bryan Ferry explained to Uncut magazine in January 2013 that he took inspiration for the hook from the actual number plate of a "very cool" Mini Clubman that he saw at the Reading festival. "I went with a friend and I was very attracted to this girl backstage who was wearing a fluffy jacket," he said. "I then saw her when we were driving home in the terrible slow queue to get out of the site, and she was in the car in front. And I memorized the number of the car. So it was a kind of cry in the wild... I never met her."

Former art student Ferry took inspiration for the title from Derek Boshier's 1962 painting Re-Think/Re-Entry. A pioneer of British pop art, Boshier went on to design the album covers for David Bowie's Lodger and Let's Dance.

This is guitarist Phil Manzanera's favorite track on Roxy Music's self-titled debut album. He told The Sun: "That sort of sums us up in a witty way with that ending, three chords, a lot of attack, a lot of enthusiasm."
