Marianne Faithful - The Ballad of Lucy Jordan 1980
The morning sun touched lightly 
on the eyes of lucy jordan
In a white suburban bedroom 
in a white suburban town
As she lay there neath the covers 
dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange 
and the room went spinning round.

At the age of thirty-seven 
she realised shed never
Ride through paris in a sports car 
with the warm wind in her hair.
So she let the phone keep ringing 
and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes shed memorised 
in her daddys easy chair.

Her husband, hes off to work 
and the kids are off to school,
And there are, oh, so many ways 
for her to spend the day.
She could clean the house for hours 
or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street 
screaming all the way.

At the age of thirty-seven 
she realised shed never
Ride through paris in a sports car 
with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing 
as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes shed memorised 
in her daddys easy chair.

The evening sun touched gently on 
the eyes of lucy jordan
On the roof top where she climbed 
when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man 
who reached and offered her his hand,
And he led her down to the long white car 
that waited past the crowd.

At the age of thirty-seven 
she knew shed found forever
As she rode along through paris 
with the warm wind in her hair
