    This has always been one of my favourites and yes I did watch this on top of the pops in 1969. I'm now approaching 71 and am in Paris for the first time. Yesterday I walked along the Boulevard Saint Michel and remembered this beautiful song.

    My mom is 60 this year. Im 16 thos year. My mom showed me this and i instantly fell in love with it. My mom used to be in a group of bikers. They would all go back to one of the guys houses above the pub and sing this song together. I wish i would have been born then.

Even a dragon with no armor but a huge heart. This is a gift of poetry that no one can steal. Peter Starstedt, God bless you. It's still good in 2020 AD.

    I am 16 and this is one of my favourite songs along with Life on Mars, Sunny Afternoon and all the "classics". To everyone on here commenting about how they remember buying this when it first came out - you are so fortunate to have experienced this live and at a time of such iconic music! Listening to these incredible songs almost makes me feel as if I lived a little slice of it myself... I'm not bashing the music of my generation, though, because I like lots of that too, but there is something timeless about this era which I really hope is treasured and never fades away.

    • @BiboNassim
      @BiboNassim 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's great. Something to remember.
      Let me tell you one too. Their first proper manager was Brian Epstein. He had been at Stowe school (Buckingham) and he brought them to the school for a performance in 1964. The boys (no girls) went crazy and the headmaster banned any more pop groups. Sadly, I started at that school the following term and so missed out on all of that. Epstein later committed suicide - because he was gay and Jewish. It was a big thing in those days.

    • @Mr3sheds
      @Mr3sheds 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Like most Beatles performances, their appearance at Stowe School is well documented. The booking was the result of a pupil from Liverpool called David Moores who was a fan of the group. The date was April 4th 1963 and it followed a session at the Paris Theatre London where they recorded a programme for the BBC. Their fee was £100. This was a long time before Beatlemania started and by all accounts, the group were greeted with polite applause by the staff and students. There will always be conjecture over the circumstances of Epstein's death. It was more than likely an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

    • @BiboNassim
      @BiboNassim 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      "polite applause"
      I went to Stowe the following term, when I was 14 (Richard Branson was a contemporary).
      The story we were all told was that the boys went berserk and that the headmaster, Robert Drayson, banned all similar performances thereafter. Don''t forget, we were all rigorously disciplined in those days.
      Drayson would frequently cane boys over trivialities (hand in pockets, walking on the wrong patch of grass etc.) and did not consider it a good caning if the boy's bum did not bleed. He was a Cambridge Blue (hockey) and proud of his bowling skills.

    Remember hearing this song around March or April back in 1969. I has just started dating my wife of 42 years. I then left to California for the summer and oh how I missed her. This song made it even more "painful". I was so in love and such a romantic at heart. Now when I listen to it again, I reminisce about that time in my life and fall in love all over again. I thank God for having placed this woman in life.

    Lyrics :
    You talk like Marlene Dietrich
    And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
    Your clothes are all made by Balmain
    And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes, there are
    You live in a fancy apartment
    Off the Boulevard St. Michel
    Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
    And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do
    But where do you go to, my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed?
    Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
    I've seen all your qualifications
    You got from the Sorbonne
    And the painting you stole from Picasso
    Your loveliness goes on and on, yes, it does
    When you go on your summer vacation
    You go to Juan-les-Pins
    With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
    You get an even suntan on your back, and on your legs
    And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
    With the others of the jet set
    And you sip your Napoleon brandy
    But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't
    But where do you go to, my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed?
    Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you?
    I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
    Your name is heard in high places
    You know the Aga Khan
    He sent you a race horse for Christmas
    And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha
    They say that when you get married
    It'll be to a millionaire
    But they don't realize where you came from
    And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
    Where do you go to, my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed?
    Tell me the thoughts that surround you
    I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
    I remember the back streets of Naples
    Two children begging in rags
    Both touched with a burning ambition
    To shake off their lowly-born tags, they tried
    So look into my face, Marie-Claire
    And remember just who you are
    Then go and forget me forever
    But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes, you do
    I know where you go to, my lovely
    When you're alone in your bed
    I know the thoughts that surround you
    'Cause I can look inside your head.

      Golam Raufu I used to sing this as a kid and was convinced it has Biarritz mentioned. That place seemed the height of sophistication and was a posh French resort, in my dreams. Not only did I miss hear the lyrics but I dragged the family on 2 weeks holiday to Biarritz on the back of this song! Wish I could afford St Moritz now. Biarritz is nice but very faded glory. Donostia/San Sebastian, down the road in Spain, was worth the holiday.
      Met a wonderfully wizened Marie Claire who gave us a bottle of wine, for carrying her shopping home for her. Where lyrics can lead eh?! The family don’t let me choose holidays now 🤣

    Timeless. First heard around 30 years ago and it sounded so different to everything else so mysterious.

    Does anyone wonder why he didn't have more hits. His voice was certainly a gift for us all

Did you like Little Arrows sung by Leapy Lee another big hit and not forgetting Lily The Pink but appreciate not every ones choice. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝

    Age doesn't matter I have loved 60's music since I was a kid and I'm 43. Sincerity and beauty are timeless. And the 60's ahd it more than any other decade.

    R.I.P. Peter. He passed away on 8th January 2017, aged 75. My thoughts go out to the Sarstedt family, especially Peter's brothers Eden Kane (Richard Sarstedt) and Clive "Robin" Sarstedt.

    This is one of the best songs ever written back in a time when you understood the lyrics and could almost picture the places and items as he sings them. My love for this song is not just because if its timeless qualities but it was No.1 in the charts the week I was born.
