A Lady of A Certain AgeBack in the day you had been part of the smart set
You'd holidayed with kings, dined out with starlets
From London to New York, Cap Ferrat to Capri
In perfume by Chanel and clothes by Givenchy
You sipped camparis with David and Peter
At Noel's parties by Lake Geneva
Scaling the dizzy heights of high society
Armed only with a cheque-book and a family tree
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was seventy"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!"
You had to marry someone very very rich
So that you might be kept in the style to which
You had all of your life been accustomed to
But that the socialists had taxed away from you
You gave him children, a girl and a boy
To keep your sanity a nanny was employed
And when the time came they were sent away
Well that was simply what you did in those days
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you on your own and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was sixty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!
Your son's in stocks and bonds and lives back in Surrey
Flies down once in a while and leaves in a hurry
Your daughter never finished her finishing school
Married a strange young man of whom you don't approve
Your husband's hollow heart gave out one Christmas Day
He left the villa to his mistress in Marseilles
And so you come here to escape your little flat
Hoping someone will fill your glass and let you chat about how
You chased the sun around the Cote d'Azur
Until the light of youth became obscured
And left you all alone and in the shade
An English lady of a certain age
And if a nice young man would buy you a drink
You'd say with a conspiratorial wink
"You wouldn't think that I was fifty three"
And he'd say,"no, you couldn't be!

I'll See You When We All Come Homeso, many a day have gone by since i've posted.
gotta say... i'm doing loads better than last time :P
then again, i've been listening to the bouncing souls A LOT. nothing new i know. but i love them with my all :)
so let's see. for once i don't have much to talk about because i don't think many people actually read this. since my last posts lots of things have been happnin. i dyed my hair [a different color (red)] for the first time ever! i was purdy thrilled about the whole thing :P the day after that my buddy holly, or geno, as i like to call her went to ATX to see the hellcat records tour. it was pretty rad. lots of good bands that i've never really heard before. we decided to hit up waterloo records and one of these days if i'm by myself i think i'm just going to go in there and buy a shit load of stuff. some vinyl too :) everytime i go into a place like that i'm so carried away that i feel that if i linger too long, my company would get bored with me. but maybe i'm wrong. not saying geno doesn't appreciate hanging in a record shop for a really long time. it's just my instinct that tells me people don't like to linger in places like that too long. but hell, i could spend the day there. i'd like to work there.
afterwards, we needed some grub so we walked all the way back to the wendy's on the other side of the highway and did that. then it was off to the show. we saw the heart attacks, time again and nekromantix. all three bands put on a great set and it was a blast.
not much has really happened since then though. i've been loaded down with school work, which will all be over in about 2 weeks!!! WOO!
then starts my brilliant summer. yikes, i gotsta make my money last awhile. but i'm sure my summer shall consist of lots of work and stuff. who knows... maybe i should take a summer class or two, and get my basics out of the way. i don't really feel like doing that though.
anyways, like i said, and sorry this one's so boring and random but i felt like sharing. stay tuned for more interesting blogs later.
