歌曲歌詞
At the villa of the Baron De Signac
Where I spent a somewhat infamous year
At the villa of the Baron De Signac
I had ladies in attendance
Fire-opal pendant
Liaisons What's happened to them
Liaisons today
Disgraceful What's become of them
Some of them
Hardly pay their shoddy way
What once was a rare champagne
Is now just an amiable hock
What once was a villa at least
Is digs
What once was a gown with train
Is now just a simple little frock
What once was a sumptuous feast
Is figs
No not even figs raisins
Ah liaisons
Now where was I Where was I Oh yes
At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara
Who was prematurely deaf but a dear
At the palace of the Duke of Ferrara
I acquired some position
Plus a tiny Titian
Liaisons What's happened to them
Liaisons today
To see them indiscriminate
Women it
Pains me more than I can say
The lack of taste that they display
Where is style
Where is skill
Where is forethought
Where's discretion of the heart
Where's passion in the art
Where's craft
With a smile
And a will
But with more thought
I acquired a chateau
Extravagantly overstaffed
Too many people muddle sex
With mere desire
And when emotion intervenes
The nets descend
It should on no account perplex
Or worse inspire
It's but a pleasurable means
To a measurable end
Why does no one comprehend
Let us hope this lunacy's just a trend
Where was I Where was I Oh yes
In the castle of the King of the Belgians
We would visit through a false chiffonier
In the castle of the King of the Belgians
Who when things got rather touchy
Deeded me a duchy
Liaisons What's happened to them
Liaisons today
Untidy Take my daughter I
Taught her I
Tried my best to point the way
I even named her Desiree
In a world where the kings are employers
Where the amateur prevails
And delicacy fails
To pay
In a world where the princes are lawyers
What can anyone expect
Except to recollect
Lia
