"In Every Dream Home a Heartache" is a song written by Bryan Ferry, originally appearing on his band Roxy Music's second studio album, For Your Pleasure (1973).
Musically this is complemented by a cycling four-bar chord progression,(D# F# F G#) led by a 'cinema organ' style Farfisa part.
On the original vinyl LP, the song was the last one on side A, and appeared to fade out into the run-out groove, only to return, heavily processed with phase shifting techniques.
The band's live performance on an edition of the German Beat-Club shows Mackay playing the organ part, with Ferry on rhythm guitar.
The song was also used in the film The Gentlemen when Raymond Smith (Charlie Hunnam) breaks into a council estate flat.
