I've Been to a Marvellous Party - song lyrics

I must say it's the most extraordinary experience not everybody I suppose it's something to do with the sun and all that but I wouldn't understand myself really and I'm not sure its even legal

You know quite for no reason I'm here for the season and high as a kite
Living in error with Maud at Cap Ferrar which couldn't be right
Everyone's here and frightfully gay nobody cares what people say
Though the Riviera seems really much queerer than Rome at its height
On Wednesday night I went to a marvellous party
With Nunu and Nada and Nell
It was in the fresh air and we went as we were and we stayed as we were which was hell
Poor Grace started singing at midnight and she didn't stop singing til four
We knew the excitement was bound to begin when Laura got blind on Dubonet and Gin
And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin - I couldn't have liked it more!

I couldn't have liked it more...

I've been to a marvellous party. We played a wonderful game. Maureen disappeared and came back in a beard and we all had to guess at her name. Cecil arrived wearing armour, some shells and a black feather boa. Poor Millicent wore a surrealist comb made of bits of mosaic from St Peters in Rome but the weight was so great that she had to go home - well I couldn't have liked it more.

I've been to a marvellous party. I must say the fun was intense. We all had to do what the people we knew might be doing 100 years hence. We talked about growing old gracefully and Elsie who's 74 said a) it's a question of being sincere and b) if you're supple you've got nothing to fear then she swung upside down from a chandelier - and I couldn't have liked it more.

It was the most fabulous excitement, I've never seen such a carry on obviously it couldn't happen anywhere else but on the Riviera it was most peculiar.
You know people's behaviour away from Belgravia would make you aghast. So much variety watching society scampering past... You know if you had any mind at all, Gibbons divine 'Decline and Fall' well it sounds pretty flimsy no more than a whimsy by way of contrast on Wednesday last...

I went to a marvellous party we didn't sit down til ten. Y'know young Bobby Carr did a stunt at the bar with a lot of extraordinary men. And then Freda arrived with a turtle which shattered us all to the core. And then the Duchess passed out at a quarter to three and suddenly Cyril cried 'fiddle-de-de' and he ripped off his trousers and jumped in the sea - I couldn't have liked it more.

I've been to a marvellous party - Elise made an entrance with May. You'd never have guessed from her fisherman's vest that her bust had been whittled away. Poor Lulu got fried on chianti and talked about esprit de corps. Louise made a couple of passes at Gus and Freddy who hates any kind of a fuss did half the big apple and twisted his truss - HA HA! I couldn't have liked it more!

Hey lady, you lady Cursing at your life You're a discontented mother And a regimented wife I 've no doubt You dream about the things you'll never do But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you Ooh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run Took the hand of a preacher man And we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces Because I had to be free I've been to paradise but I've never been to me... Please lady please lady Don't just walk away 'Cause I have this need to tell you Why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me Still living in your eyes Won't you share a part Of a weary heart that has lived a million lives Ooh, I've been to Nice and the Isle of Greece When I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo And showed them what I've got I've been undressed by kings And I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see I've been to paradise but I've never been to me... Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie A fantasy we created about people and places As we like them to be But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding And it's that man you fought with this morning The same one you are gonna make love to tonight That's truth that's love Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children That might have made me complete But I, I took the sweet life I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet I spent my life exploring The subtle whoring That costs too much to be free Hey lady I've been to paradise But I've never been to me... I've been to paradise - never been to me (I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run) I've been to paradise - never been to me (I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht) I've been to paradise - never been to me

After, after all, I've been good to you (I've been good to you) Oh yes, I have And you know, I've always been around And I never, never, never let you down And now you telling me, that you must go You know that you're hurting me so But there, there come a time One day, one day, one day you gonna wake up and find You come back to me, on your bending knee, and you're gonna be crying And oh, believe me, what I say it true, baby After all (after all), I've been good to you (I've been good to you) Every day, and every way (I've been good to you) Whoa, you know, you know, you know, baby I've been so good, (I've been good to you)

Postcards and letters T-shirts and sweaters Passports and Parkas Mobiles and chargers Two tennis rackets Blue Rizla packets A new sheep-skin jacket I lost it all All through my life there have been Many rare and precious things I have tried to call mine But I just cannot seem To keep hold of anything For more than a short time Possessions of a sentimental kind They were mine, now they're not Gym-kits and trainers Asthma inhalers Silk-cuts and Bennies Ten-packs and twenties C-class narcotics Antibiotics The holes in my pockets I lost it all All that I'd like is to know Just where do those lost things go? When they slip from my hands Then one night in a dream I passed through a sheepskin screen To a green, pleasant land I found them all piled up into the sky And I cried tears of joy

It was not that long ago it first occurred to me That my mother was a person in her own right And now I realize how very lucky I have been And there, but for the grace of God, go I, go I Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can When I was a teenager, I really did believe That my parents had adopted me And the way I carried on they must have thought They'd brought the wrong little baby home from maternity Well, I'd like to say I'm sorry but my Mother dear, she already knows Mother dear, she'll never let me go Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear If I ever get arrested by the C.I.A. Because they take me for a foreign spy They won't need no lie-detector, all they'll have to do Is make me look into my mother's eyes And I'll tell them anything they like Mother dear, she can see inside Mother dear, and I've nowhere to hide Mother dear, kept me warm and safe Mother dear, I'll never lose my faith in mother dear Mother dear, mother dear My mother dear Mother dear, did I spoil your plans? Mother dear, I do the best I can

Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong With a divine Beatles bassline And a big old Beach Boys sound I'll match you pound for pound Like heavy-weights in the final round We'll hold on to each other So we don't fall down Give me a wink And I'll give you what I think you're after With just one kiss I will whisk you away To where angels often tread We'll paint this planet red We'll stumble back to our hotel bed And make love to each other 'Til we're half dead Maybe now you can see Just what you mean to me Give me your love And I'll give you the perfect lovesong Give me your word That you'll be true to me always come what may Forever and a day No matter what other people may say We'll hold on to each other 'Til we're old and grey
