Divine Comedy - I`ve Been To A Marvellous Party слова песни


You know, quite for no reason
I`m here for the season
And high as a kite -
Living in error
With Maud at Cap Ferret
(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 Noonoo, 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 Dubonnet and gin
And scratched her veneer with a Cartier pin!
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. Peter`s in Rome,
But the weight was so great that she had to go home!
And 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 a hundred years hence...
We talked about growing old gracefully,
And Elsie - who`s seventy-four -
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 have any mind at all,
Gibbon`s 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
You 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-dee!",
Then he ripped off his trousers
And jumped in the sea!
And I couldn`t have liked it more!
I`ve been to a marvellous party
Elyse 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 Freddie - 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!
