[ti:]Lush Life
[ar:]John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
[al:]John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
[00:04.49]I used to visit all the very gay places
[00:08.92]Those come-what-may places
[00:12.40]Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[00:17.81]To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
[00:24.79]
[00:26.06]The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
[00:31.12]With distingue traces that used to be there
[00:35.53]You could see where they d been washed away
[00:38.93]By too many through the day, twelve o clock tales
[00:46.61]
[00:48.49]Then you came along with your siren song
[00:53.76]To tempt me to madness
[00:57.43]I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
[01:02.68]Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
[01:11.88]Ah yes, I was wrong
[01:20.02]Again, I was wrong
[01:29.42]
[01:31.68]Life is lonely again and only last year
[01:42.47]Everything seemed so sure
[01:49.19]Now life is awful again
[01:55.24]A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
[02:04.91]
[02:06.00]A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
[02:15.03]All I care is to smile in spite of it
[02:22.08]
[02:23.48]I ll forget you, I will while yet you are still
[02:33.40]Burning inside my brain romance is mush
[02:42.85]Stifling those who strive
[02:47.31]
[02:47.87]I ll live a lush life in some small dive
[02:55.14]And there I ll be
[02:59.11]While I rot with the rest of those
[03:04.37]Whose lives are lonely too
[03:10.95]
[04:25.53]Romance is mush
[04:34.25]Stifling those who strive
[04:39.61]I ll live a lush life in some small dive
[04:52.26]And there I ll be
[04:57.42]While I rot with the rest of those
[05:03.61]Whose lives are lonely too
