- THE CHOICE WIFE
- (Instrumental)DIED FOR LOVE
- Ab Bb Ab BbJohn Gumblain, Annie Painter
- Eb Ab BbThey were true lovers to the endAb Bb Ab Bb
- They grew up togetherEb BbIn the streets where no one is your friend
- Eb BbThey mixed their hearts' blood togetherEb Bb
- They swore they'd always be trueEb BbWhen Annie left for the summer
- Eb Ab BbShe said "For now, but never adieu"
- "I'd give my life to be with you"
- Some will die for fortune,Some will die for pleasure
- But only lovers died for love
- The summer turned into winterBut Annie Painter never cameCold wind blew through the dark town
- And it chilled the heart of John GumblainHe took the road to every cityHe sailed to every port of call
- He hung his head as tears were fallingHe scratched his message on the wall
- "I'd give my life to be with you"Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasureBut only lovers died for love
- He was broken, he was . . .His face was old and cracked with tears
- He was dying of diseaseThat shook his frame for thirteen yearsAs he lay sickening by the roadside
- A voice came drifting through the airIt was the voice of Annie PainterShe sang a song ?three times clear?
- "I'd give my life to be with you"Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure
- But only lovers died for loveHe went running through the city
- He searched for day after dayWhen he found her, she was dyingAnd all for love of John Gumblain
- She said "Forgive my cruel fatherHe tried to keep me awayAnd don't despair for my dying
- For this is our wedding day""I'd give my life to be with you"
- Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasureBut only lovers died for loveBut only lovers died for love
- (repeat)STRANGE AFFAIR
- This is a strange affairThe time has come to travel but the road is filled with fear
- This is a strange affairMy youth has all been wasted and I'm bent and grey with yearsAnd all my companions are taken away
- And who will provide for me against my dying day?I took my own provision but it threw me and wasted awayThis is a strange, this is a strange affair
- Oh, where are my companions?My mother, father, lover, friend and enemy
- Where are my companions?They're prisoners of death now and taken far from meAnd where are the dreams I dreamed in the days of my youth?
- They took me to illusion and they promised me the truthAnd what do sleepers need to make them listen, why do they need ?moreroom??
- This is a strange, this is a strange affairLAYLA
- I drew near to the house of LaylaIt was then I heard her call
- Her sweet voice made me wish that it would never end at allOh, you say you see some good in meIt's only from her light
- Take this . . . from me, don't look to her delightShe was pleased with me
- She drew me nearerShe turned me into a retreatOh, she didn't like company
- She spoke to meShe let me, a sinner, free
- (Chorus)Oh, Layla, Layla, Layla, LaylaOh, Layla, Layla, Layla, Layla
- Oh, Layla, Layla, Layla, LaylaOh, Layla, Layla, Layla, Layla
- Then she came close to meThe veils fell from her sightShe dazzled me, she bewildered me
- Confused me with her lightOh, you say you see some good in meIt's only from her light
- Take this . . . from me, don't look to her delightAnd there she took me
- And there she possessed meShe showed her meaning to meI thought my soul
- Would be her ransomI thought that she was leaving
- (Chorus)And there she slew me
- She tore me to piecesMy blood stained like a dyeAnd when I was dead
- She brought me to lifeMy star shone in her sky
- (Chorus)PAVANNE
- Pavanne, cold steel woman, PavanneHow do you love a woman
- With eyes cold as the barrel of her gun?Who's never missed her mark on anyonePavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
- Casino doors swing open, the rich men raise their eyesThey say "Who is this beauty, as elegant as ice?"
- And later there's an accident, another charge d'affairesIs lying in a pool of blood, no witness anywhereAnd they say she was a hundred miles away
- The hotel porter saw her climb the stairsAnd the maid, with trembling hands, knows what to say
- When the judge says "Are you sure?", "I'm sure," she swearsPavanne, cold steel woman, Pavanne
- How do you love a womanWith eyes cold as the barrel of her gun?Who's never missed her mark on anyone
- Pavanne, Pavanne, PavanneAt the presidential palace, a thousand people saw
- His Excellency leave his car and never make the doorThe blood flows from his fingers as he clutches at the stainHe staggers like a drunken man lies twisted in the rain
- And they say she grew up well-provided forHer mother used to keep her boys for sure
- And father's close attention led to talkShe learned to stab her food with a silver fork
- Pavanne, cold steel woman, PavanneAnd they say she didn't do it for the money
- And they say she didn't do it for the manThey say that she did it for the pleasureThe pleasure of the moment
- Pavanne, cold steel woman, Pavanne
- How do you stop this womanWhen everyone is moving in a trance?Like prisoners of some slow portly dance
- Pavanne, Pavanne, PavannePavanne, Pavanne, Pavanne
- HOUSE OF CARDSOh, the rain is falling Blow, blow, down
- And the whirlwind rolls Blow, blow, downI'll shake your windows Blow, blow, downAnd rattle your door Blow, blow, down
- Blow down this house of cardsBlow down this house of cards
