Steely Dan Reeling In The Years

[RWood]

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are

You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs

And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name, it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh a-ha-ha-ha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

The original by Peter Sarstedt from 1969

I think a lot of composers died penniless. You could say they were dead baroque.

I thought that was when they were very, trendily baroque?



(although I suspect dead hasn't been used in that way for, um, a few years or so...)

The infamous Weapons of Mass Destruction have finally been found and seized! The attached is a covert recording of them as they were unintentionally deployed in a secret location (Ask Zelda!). I'm listening to their lovely harmonies and simple melodies which are truly heart-warming (or maybe -wrenching). I just had to repost this since it has been 7 months since Zelda's first post and I was worried this talented group (The Shums) might disappear into obscurity. Enjoy!

well vr, i have to say i found your previous offering far more harmonious. also, since you do seem worried, i should reassure you : the shums are making tremendous (and highly effective) efforts on a daily basis to avoid falling into that most insidious trap which means death to all performers (i don't think the term "artist" is really merited here), i refer to "obscurity". alas.

(by the way, i think you do mean "heart-wrenching".)
