Highly recommend the entire "In Tokyo In Love" album (apparently now on CD) by Norrie Paramor; it's half covers, half composed for the album, all gorgeous. This cover of "Sukiyaki" isn't the best track, but the only one I find on YouTube:
“The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.” ― Joan Robinson
Born we are the same, within the silence, indifference be Thy name Torn we walk alone, we sleep in silent shades The grandeur fades, the meaning never known- 'Born' Nevermore
This dream that you believe Saying that he left? If you do not move, Saying that he left? If you hang out with you In unnecessary anxiety, If you do not sing, Saying that he left? Of your laughter, Saying that he left? So good of your delusions, Saying that he left? A still indulge yourself In what is trivial, Everything you hope, Saying that he left?
Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance Dance with me. Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with you.
This desire to be free, Saying that he left? Everything that you vibrated, Saying that he left? If you say I quit As are fools. The sweetness that is given, Saying that he left?
Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance Dance with me. Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with you.
All those hot kisses, Saying that he left? And our eyes adoring you, Saying that he left? If our days rotten Make us docile Our so beautiful nights Saying that he left?
Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance Dance with me. Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with you.
If you look stupid, Saying that he will Besides wasting time? Saying that he left? If you do not understand That life is running, The day she goes, Saying that he left?
Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with me. Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with you. Come dance dance dance Dance dance dance dance Go dance And dance with you Go dance Dance your life dance Go dance And dance with you Go dancing.
Art will be the last bastion when all else fades away. ~ Timothy White (b 1952), American rock music journalist _________________
