'N Abend!
Auf einem Oldiesender habe ich vor einiger Zeit mal ein ziemlich geniales Stück mitgeschnitten. Und wie das bei schönen Stücken so üblich ist, war das Band nach etwa einer Minute zu Ende. Hier mal ein Textausschnitt:
At the age of 37
she realized
she’d never ride
through Paris
with a sportscar …
Der Witz ist, dass man nicht so ganz definieren kann, ob es eine männliche Frauenstimme oder eine weibliche Männerstimme ist, die da singt…
Wär’ genial, wenn jemand wüsste, wie das Ding heisst und von wem’s ist.
Thanxxx
das Lied ist von Marianne Faithfull. Hier der Text:
The Ballad of Lucy Jordan
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she’d never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she’d memorised in her daddy’s easy chair.
Her husband, he’s off to work and the kids are off to school,
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she’d never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she’d memorised in her daddy’s easy chair.
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she’d found forever
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair …
Hey Danke, Du bist ein Schatz!
War gestern Abend ziemlich frustriet, weil ich nirgends den Text gefunden hab’ und hab’ schon mit dem Gedanken gespielt, in diesem Forum nach dem Text zu fragen! Das grenzt schon an Gedankenübertragung!
Also viiiielen Dank nochmal und Grüße aus Landau/Pfalz!
