Duke Ellington - Lush life
Tekst :
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come-what-may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingue traces
That used to be there
You could see where they d been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me
Ah yes, I was wrong
Again, I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I ll forget you, I will
While yet you are still
Burning inside my brain
Romance is mush
Stifling those who strive
So I ll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I ll be, while I rot with the rest
Of those whose lives are lonely too
Inne utwory
Day dream Satin doll Rocks in my bed I got it bad Sophisticated lady Caravan Azure Everything but you All too soon I let a song go out of my heart Prelude to a kiss My little brown book In a mellow tone Drop me off in harlem Solitude Bli-blip In a sentimental mood Just squeeze me Lost in meditation Losowe utwory
In silence I am wandering
Can t avoid the screaming words
I try to make up my mind
All this thinking makes me blind
No control in my mind.
[Chorus:]
And I open my eyes
Don t know what to do
I m waiting for answers
But they are all...
Grace in light
somehow i found you here
torn from the hope and fear
holds us inside
pull me out
out from the world i ve known
and all love was broken cold
brought me here
from you one look
just one look and everything is shattered
from you...
I was down in the Hell s Ditch
along with my fears where time fell asleep
and it s dreaming I saw a girl wrapped up in tears
It was you, once again you
I reached out my hand straight to you...
Just a dream......
I used to think that I wasnt fine enough
and i usto think that i wasnt wild enough
but i wont waste my time trying to figure out
why you playing games whats this all about
and i cant believe you hurting me
im mad...
Dawn emptied the bars
And the town is licking her scars
And this murkey bar-chair mood slid away
And fell down with the moon
And the morning finds me alone
In Marianne s car
Harsh morning headlines echo across the empty square
Sleepy buses are making their first pass
I...
