Lush Life

I used to visit all the very gay places Those 'come-what-may' places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life Together, feel alive from chasing cocktails The boys and you had sat in solemn brave faces With distinct eight chases That used to be there, you could see where they'd been washed away By too many through the day, 12 o'clock tails Then you came along with your sad song To turn me to madness, or It thought for a while that your poignant smile Was taint with the sadness of a great love for me Ah yes, I was wrong Again, I was wrong Life is lonely again And only last year everything seemed so sure Now life is awful again A truffle of hearts could only be a bore A week in Paris release the bane of it All I care is to smile, in spite of it I'll forget you, I will, while I do While still burning inside my brain Romance is mush, stifling those who strive I live a lush life in some small diving day around me While I rot with the rest of those whose lives are lonely too A week in Paris release the bane of it All I care is to smile, in spite of it I'll forget you, I will, while I do While still burning inside my brain Romance is mush, stifling those who strive I live a lush life in some small diving day around me While I rot with the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
