MOTHER OF PEARL - Roxy Music Cover by Carl De Reims
ACOUSTIC RENDITION OF THE SECOND PART OF THE SONG.
LYRICS: Part 2
Well i´ve been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life´s inner meaning
And my latest fling
It´s the same old story
All love and glory
It´s a pantomime
If you're looking for love
In a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I´ve been looking for something
I've always wanted
But was never mine
But now I've seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn't change you
For the whole world
You're highbrow, holy
With lots of soul
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into-view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses
The boomerang misses
Spin round and round
Fall on featherbed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
We'll forget your past
Oh mother of pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture cameo
Oh mother of pearl
So so semi-precious
In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn´t trade you
For another girl

This is a great version, which I actually like better than any other I've heard! The minmalist approach, and your guitar work is so right for it. I wouldn't have thought something so sensitive could come out of a guy who looks like you do! I love being surprised like that -- having my preconrceptions challenged (smashed!) - lol. I am a fan of juxtaposition. Kudos!

[@CarldeReims]

+Julia O Wow! Thank you so much for such honest and thoughtful comments. I am glad that you feel my rendition touched you. As with regard to "the minmalist approach"...what else really is there? Peace and love to you, J O (;

Yes & the juxtapostion of the flag IS so unexpected!
You did a fantastic version vocally.

[@EXTRAordinaryRnR]

Amazing...juxtaposed by the wife-beater and American flag...guitar is fine, it's totally a vocal song, and thnk of it as your tribute to Eno's noise in the original! ha!

[@SKYSAW59]

+EXTRAordinaryRnR no Eno in the original!

[@cruiserkid1]

You're really good!

[@carlmosessongsdemos2394]

Thank you (:

[@CarldeReims]

Thanks, mate. Guitar sound is awful, but voice is there if your talking impromptu - it's ok for parties to show off your memory for lyrics, haha.
