《Lush Life》歌词

[00:00:00] Lush Life - Beverley Staunton

[00:00:00] I used to visit all the very gay places

[00:00:05] Those come what may places

[00:00:08] Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

[00:00:14] To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails

[00:00:21] The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

[00:00:26] With distant gay traces

[00:00:29] That used to be there you could see

[00:00:32] Where they'd been washed away

[00:00:35] By too many through the day

[00:00:39] Twelve o'clock tales

[00:00:43] Then you came along with your siren song

[00:00:48] To tempt me to madness

[00:00:53] I thought for a while that your poignant smile

[00:00:58] Was tinged with the sadness

[00:01:04] Of a great love for me

[00:01:10] Ah yes I was wrong

[00:01:15] Again I was wrong

[00:01:26] Life is lonely again

[00:01:31] And only last year everything seemed so sure

[00:01:41] Now life is awful again

[00:01:47] A troughful of hearts could only be a bore

[00:01:58] A week in Paris will ease the bite of it

[00:02:05] All I care is to smile in spite of it

[00:02:16] I'll forget you I will

[00:02:22] While yet you are still burning inside my brain

[00:02:31] Romance is mush stifling those who strive

[00:02:40] I'll live a lush life in some small dive

[00:02:51] And there I'll be while I rot

[00:02:57] With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
