stacey kent - a fine romance

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We two should be like clams in a dish of chowder
But we just fizz like parts of a seidlitz powder (*)
Yes, a fine romance, with no glitches
A fine romance, with no bitches
You're just as hard to land as the 'isle de france'
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, and I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

Yes, a fine romance, my dear, duchess
Two old fogeys, who need crutches
True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
But we don't have the thrills that the march of time has, ba-ba-da-day
A fine romance, my good woman
My strong, age in the wood, woman
You never give the orchids I sent a glance
No, you like cactus plants, ha ha
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my dear duchess
Two old fogeys, who need crutches

True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has
You know louis, we don't have half the thrills that the march of time has,

You telling me; fine romance, my very good woman
My strong, aged in the wood, woman
You never give the orchids I sent a glance

No I prefer cactus plants

This is a fine romance!

stacey kent - au coin du monde

Tombent les nuits à la lueurs de bougies qui fondent
Et que la lumière soit
Passent les heures que s'écoulent à jamais les secondes
Et que la lumière soit

Au loin entends-tu le bruit qui court ?
Au point juste au point du jour
A deux pas de chez toi
A deux pas de chez moi

Tombent les feuilles et les larmes sur tes joues qui roulent
Et que la lumière soit
Passent les anges et les orages au dessus des foules
Et que la lumière soit

Au loin entends-tu le bruit qui court ?
Au point juste au point du jour
A deux pas de chez toi
A deux pas de chez moi

Et que la lumière soit
Comme au premier jour du premier mois
De nos corps à corps
Et que la lumière soit

Dans la cité qui n'en finit pas
Que vienne l'aurore
A deux pas de chez toi
A deux pas de chez moi

Au loin on voit les neiges qui fondent
Au coin juste au coin du monde
A deux pas de chez toi
A deux pas de chez moi
Que la lumière soit

stacey kent - breakfast in the morning tram

So here you are in this city
With a shattered heart, it seems
Though when you arrived you thought you'd have
The holiday of your dreams
You'd cry yourself to sleep if you could
But you've been awake all night
Well here's something that you need to do
At the first hint of morning light

Walk right across the deserted city
To the Boulevard Amsterdam
And wait there
For what the citizens here
Refer to as the Breakfast Tram

Climb on board
You'll soon manage
To find at the far and of the carriage
The most wonderful buffet
There's everything you'd want to eat
You can take a feast back to your seat
Whatever you can fit onto your tray
And the mist on the windows will start to fade
As the sun climbs higher in the sky
And you can sit back with your café au lait
While outside thr waking city clatters by
So things didn't quite meet expectations
But you're bound to conclude upon reflection
There's no reason you should give a damn
Just treat yourself
To a cinnamon pancake
Very soon you'll forget your heartache
When you have breakfast on the morning tram

It'll be quite quiet when you first get on
But as that tram keeps moving along
It'll fill with people starting on their day
They'll be laughing and joking as they eat
They'll be passing plates along the seats
Your night of heartache will soon seem far away
And even though you're a stranger
They'll make you feel
Right at home

They'll be offering to refill your coffee
They won't have you sitting there alone
They've seen many others just like you
And each one of them has had it happen too
So just enjoy your scrambled eggs and ham
Treat yourself
To a cinnamon pancake
Very soon you'll forget your heartache
When you have breakfast on the morning tram

And even though you're a stranger
They'll make you feel
Right at home
They'll be offering to refill your coffee
They won't have you sitting there alone
'Cause they've seen many others just like you
And each one of them has had it happen too
So just enjoy your fresh croissant and jam
And don't neglect the Belgian waffles
You'll soon forget your troubles
When you have breakfast on the morning tram

stacey kent - by myself

The party's over, the game is ended,
The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke.
They didn't pan out as I had intended;
I should know how to take a joke.

I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance.
I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance.
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing.
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing,
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than i, myself, I'm by myself alone.
I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends.
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends.
Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun.
I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun.
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own;
No one knows better than i, myself, I'm by myself alone.

stacey kent - ces petits riens

Mieux vaut n'penser à rien
Que n'pas penser du tout
Rien c'est déjà
Rien c'est déjà beaucoup
On se souvient de rien
Et puisqu'on oublie tout
Rien c'est bien mieux
Rien c'est bien mieux que tout

Mieux vaut n'penser à rien
Que de penser à vous
Ça ne me vaut rien
Ça ne me vaut rien du tout
Comme si de rien
N'était je pense à tous
Ces petits riens
Qui me venaient de vous

Si c'était trois fois rien
Trois fois rien entre nous
Evidemment
Cà ne fait pas beaucoup
Ce sont ces petits riens
Que j'ai mis bout à bout
Ces petits riens
Qui me venaient de vous

Mieux vaut pleurer de rien
Que de rire de tout
Pleurer pour un rien
C'est déjà beaucoup
Mais vous vous n'avez rien
Dans le cÂ?ur et j'avoue
Je vous envie
Je vous en veux beaucoup

Ce sont ces petits riens
Qui me venaient de vous
Les voulez-vous ?
Tenez ! Que voulez-vous ?
Moi je ne veux pour rien
Au monde plus rien de vous
Pour être à vous
Faut être à moitié fou.

stacey kent - hard hearted hannah

In old Savannah
I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate?s of a southern brand
But here?s what I don?t understand

They got a gal there
A pretty gal there
Who?s colder than an artic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even icemen leave her alone

They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough, but Hannah?s heart is tougher
She?s a gal who likes to see men suffer

To tease ?em and thrill ?em
To torture and kill ?em
Is her delight they say

I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man
She?s Hard-Hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA

They got a gal there
A pretty gal there
Who?s colder than an artic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even icemen leave her alone

They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Talk about you cold, refrigerated mamas
Brother, she?s a polar bear?s pajamas
To tease ?em and thrill ?em
To torture and kill ?em
Is her delight they say
An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees
Is like traveling through Alaska in you BVD?s

She?s Hard-Hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
They call her Hard-Hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah

stacey kent - he loves & she loves

He loves and she loves,
And they love
So why can't you love
And I love like too?
Birds love and bees love
And whispering trees love,
And that's what we both should do.

Oh I always knew someday you'd come along,
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong,
Hear me he loves and she loves
And they love so won't you
Love me as I love you?

Oh I always knew someday you'd come along,

Original version:
Verse 1:
Peter:
Now that I have found you
I must hang around you.
Though you may refuse me,
You will never lose me.
If the human race is
Full of happy faces -

It's because they all love
That wonderous thing they call love.

Refrain:

Verse 2:
Frankie:
Feel a funny feeling
In my heart a-stealing;
If it's love, I'm for it.
Gosh! how I adore it!
You're the silver lining
For which I've been pining.

Peter:
Lonesome days are over;
From now on, we're in clover.

Repeat refrain.

stacey kent - i guess i ll have to change my plan

I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began

Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found

Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl
The one girl I'd found

stacey kent - i won t dance

Think of what you're losing
By constantly refusing to dance with me.
You'd be the idol of france with me!

And yet you stand there and shake
Your foolish head dramatic'lly.
While I wait here so ecstatic'lly
You just look and say emphatic'lly
Not this season! there's a reason!

I won't dance! don't ask me;
I won't dance! don't ask me;
I won't dance, madame, with you.
My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do!
You know what? you're lovely,

stacey kent - i m putting all my eggs in one basket

I've been a roaming romeo
My juliets have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've got a great big amount
Saved up in my love account
Honey
And I've decided
Love divided
In two
Won't do

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

[2]
I've been a roaming juliet
My romeos have been many
But now my roaming days have gone
Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on:

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting ev'rything I've got on you

I'm giving all my love to one baby
Heaven help me if my baby don't come through

I've tried to love more than one
Finding it just can't be done
Honey
There's one I lie to
When I try to
Be true
To two

So
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I've got on you

stacey kent - i ve got a crush on you

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time
Hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

How glad the many millions of Timothys and Williams
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence,
You wore down my resistance
I fell, and it was swell

You're my big and brave and handsome romeo
How I won you, I shall never, never know

It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time
Hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo?
Could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush
'cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

Yes I've got a crush, my baby, on you

stacey kent - ice hotel

Let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
The Caribbean's all booked out and it's just as well
While I'd have been much keener, on Barbados or Antigua
But just now I think the arctic will suit us well
Let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel

We've built it all with ice that's pure and clear
The sofas, the lobby, even the chandelier
A thermostat guarantees a steady minus 5 degrees
What other place could serve our needs so well?
Let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel

Romantic places like Verona or Paris they'll always lead you astray
You'd have to be a novice to ever trust Venice and those dreamy waterways
And what the tropics can do I know only too well
So let's you and me go away to the Ice Hotel

stacey kent - isn t this a lovely day

The weather is fright'ning
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
And everything's o.k.

Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain

Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and i
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you it's a lovely day

stacey kent - jardin d hiver

Je voudrais du soleil vert
Des dentelles et des théières
Des photos de bord de mer
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Je voudrais de la lumière
Comme au Nouvelle Angleterre
Je veux changer d'atmosphère
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre
Tes mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre
Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre
Nul ne peut nous entendre
Je voudrais du Fred Astère
Revoir un Latécoère
Je voudrais toujours te plaire
Dans mon jardin d'hiver
Je veux déjeuner par terre
Comme au long des golfes clairs
T'embrasser les yeux ouverts
Dans mon jardin d'hiver

Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre
Tes mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre
Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre
Nul ne peut nous entendre
