Resonant Lyrics

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan
Marriane Faithfull

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

Stairway To Heaven

There’s a lady who’s sure
All that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh and she’s buying a stairway to heaven

There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
’cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There’s a song bird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thought I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it’s whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know the piper’s calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

Princes Of The Universe Queen

Here we are, Born to be kings
We’re the princes of the universe
Here we belong, Fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

And here we are, We’re the princes of the universe
Here we belong, Fighting for survival
We’ve come to be the rulers of your world
I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings
I have no rival, No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of your world

Born to be kings, Princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I’m here for your love and I’ll make my stand
We were born to be Princes of the universe
No man could understand
My power is in my own hand

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, People talk about you
People say you’ve had your day
I’m a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time – yeah
I know that people talk about me I hear it every day
But I can prove you wrong cos I’m right first time
Yeah. Yeah. Alright, watch this man fly
Bring on the girls

Here we are. Born to be kings.
We’re the princes of the universe
Here we belong. Born to be kings
Princes of the universe. Fighting and free
Got the world in my hands. I’m here for your love
And I’ll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe

Suzanna – Chris de Burgh

We sit together on the sofa
With the music way down low
waited so long for this moment
It’s hard to think it’s really so
The door is locked there’s no one home
They’ve all gone out we’re all alone
Su-sanna, Su-sanna
Su-sanna I’m crazy loving you
I put my arm aroud her shoulder
Run my fingers through her hair
It’s a dream I can’t believe it
It took so long it’s only fair
And then the phone begins to ring
And a strangers voice on the other end of the line
Says oh, wrong number, sorry to waste your time
And i think to myself,
Why now,
Why me,
Why…….
Su-sanna, su-sanna,
Su-sanna, I’m crazy loving you
Su-sanna, Su-sanna,
Su-sanna, I’m crazy loving you
Again I sit myself beside her
Try to take her hand in mine
The moment’s gone, the feeling’s over
She looks around to find the time
Then she says could we just sit and chat
And I think well that’s that
Susanna, Susannna,
Susanna, I’m crazy loving you
Still we sit here on the sofa
With the stereo on ten
The magic’s gone, it’s a disaster
There seems no point to start again
She says I think I’d better go
She says goodbye and I say… NO!
Su-sanna, Su-sanna,
Su-sanna, I’m crazy loving you
Su-sanna, Su-sanna,
Su-sanna, I’m crazy loving you
I’m so crazy loving you

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
