the divine comedy - a lady of a certain age & lyrics
มุมมอง 140K15 ปีที่แล้ว
Issu de Victory for the Comic Muse, a Lady of a Certain Age est un titre où le sens de l'écriture et de la composition de Neil Hannon se mêlent merveilleusement... sur un sujet rarement abordé. Les paroles sont incluses pour ceux dont l'anglais peut parfois être, comme le mien, hésitant ^^

Toujours dans Timepeace la version du Love Theme de Spartacus à partir de laquelle Zero 7 a fait un excellent remix. La version d'origine présentée ici est simplement superbe.

Takes you to another dimension, so beautiful
Life story. Great song
Neil Hannon. I just love him. So glad an Irish friend made me discover him a few years ago.
Back 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!" (wie klang)
Thank you
So beautiful. Just perfect on guitar, and the lyric I'd never heard before. Just spacious and aching. Alex North also composed Unchained Melody. This version by Terry Callier is everything
Did they ever anything else that was even half as good?
Même si on ne sait pas qui est Mlle Brown...
RIP TERRY
where can I find the chords ? 😢
Mr Callier was a genius he’s style of music was so different in many ways,in my opinion he was up there with Marvin Gaye and other top musicians,Dancing girl is one of my fav songs,the layers in that song are outstanding! RIP Mr Callier and Thankyou for the beautiful music you left us,you should have been more recognised than you was ❤️
Gloriously beautiful -- music in the sky.
Can’t get enough of this song! Work of art
This goes hard.
I've known about the national express for years...but Spotify played this song the other day, I was totally engrossed for the full five minutes, what an absolute belter!
Seriously a perfect composition
C'est tout simplement un morceau génial......
Ovni sent me here
Genius
😌
Used to love this at the start of a club, in Oxford Street... You knew you were with good people...
hits my soul....

2:09 - It is 'social lists' not 'socialists' meaning the financial burden of the partying, jet-setting, designer dresses, jewellery and so forth
Are you sure? In that case "taxed" makes less sense, doesn't it? I suppose it could still work either way. But I do think it's "socialists".
@@Phagocytosis - I would say less sense with 'socialist' - Britain had a Conservative government in power from 1951 to 1964 so if this is a British socialite being described here and that she is 70 by the lyrics wrote maybe 2005? She would be born be born around 1935 so she would have done her partying as described from the mid-1950s onwards so any taxes would be paid to a Conservative government not a Labour government. To overthink it some more on my part the lyrics state "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 social lists had taxed away from you " so even if she got married at 30 circa 1965 this infers that her estate/wealth had been hit hard by her socialising and partying so to maintain that lifestyle she would have to marry someone rich Sorry for the long winded explanation... I enjoyed writing it though as I enjoyed your question :)
@@unohoncho7727 Thank you, I did not expect that much of an explanation. You might well be right, although of course it's possible the song is not set at the time the lyrics were written, or she might have gotten married later, although if she has two children with the man, then probably not much later. I guess I rather like the cynicism in "the socialists had taxed away from you". It suggests that the English lady seeks the blame elsewhere. It might not even be accurate that the socialists were in power; that's just her excuse for how she lost her wealth over time. In the end, it would of course still come down to all those things that you interpret "social lists" to mean. However, per your explanation, "social lists" certainly makes sense as well. I suppose I'll remain undecided.
@@Phagocytosis It is absolutely "socialists". It's part of the humour of the song. It doesn't need to make timeline sense, nor does it matter who was in power rather than who needed (by the character) to be blamed for influencing it. That's the beauty of the song, in that it fits the flawed but tragic mindset of the character.
@@billhicks8 I agree. In the end I realized I still didn't quite buy the "social lists" interpretation. And also, people will call just about anyone socialist or communist, and blame them for things even if socialists or communists are not in power in the slightest.
This is a masterpiece!
petite rectification : La version de Françoise Hardy date de 2006 et celle de Jean Bart de 1995 ^^
@Jean-Marc Grosdemouge Son album "Fin et Suite" est sorti en suisse en 1995 :)
Heard this song hundreds of times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up.
one of the most underated musicians of our times . how this mans music never touched more people is a crying shame his music was taken from gods own songbook bless you mr callier for the joy your music brought to me and continues to do
je l'adore!
何度聴いても素晴らしい、モノクロ映画の様な美しさ

Y a-t-il des allusions discrètes au film "Les deux anglaises et le continent" ?
Maintenant que vous le dites, je crois que si on écoute attentivement on entend la phrase "la vie est faite de morceaux qui ne se joignent pas", qui est extraite du film. Enfin à part ce petit détail et la mélodie qui reprend la musique du film, et le nom de mademoiselle Brown, et aussi une bonne partie des paroles, il n'y a pas tellement d'allusions au film.
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful song, love it.
Bravo
