作词 : Ian | |
I’m the belle of the blues, and it’s easy to see | |
If I win or I lose, it’s all one to me | |
I was born on a shelf in the rare books library | |
I reside by myself with my books and my T.V. | |
I’m an old age pension for the fossilized routine | |
Anybody for nostalgia, put a record on and see | |
Here’s a memory of olden days | |
And a heartbreak grown cold | |
All that glitters isn’t gold | |
You get no love for free | |
You live and you die | |
And I’ll probably throw it away | |
But in the end it’s mine | |
And nobody has a right to say | |
“Go down lightly - go down silently” | |
I’ll go down screaming | |
“Give it back - it belongs to me” | |
I’m the belle of the blues - I’m used to mingling | |
With the crème de la crème of higher society | |
I promise them roses, and an eight-by-ten of me | |
But when the party’s over | |
They’re all too glad to leave | |
Their children sing of sorrow | |
It’s the same old routine | |
They’ve begged and they’ve borrowed | |
Someone else’s misery | |
It’s an easy act to follow | |
At least, an easy one for me | |
Give me my tomorrows | |
You can have my memories | |
Souvenirs from an old-fashioned school | |
Plays coquette on the pillow | |
Like an old-fashioned fool | |
Go down lightly | |
Go down silently | |
You go down lonely | |
You go down like me |
