Belle of the Blues - Janis Ian[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:01]

I'm the belle of the blues[00:00:10]

And it's easy to see[00:00:16]

If I win or I lose[00:00:20]

It's all one to me[00:00:27]

I was born on a shelf in the rare books library[00:00:30]

I reside by myself with my books and my TV[00:00:40]

I'm an old age pension for the fossilized routine[00:00:51]

Anybody for nostalgia[00:01:01]

Put a record on and see[00:01:05]

Here's a memory of olden days[00:01:09]

And a heartbreak grown cold[00:01:16]

All that glitters isn't gold[00:01:21]

You get no love for free[00:01:24]

You live and you die[00:01:30]

And I'll probably throw it away[00:01:35]

But in the end it's mine[00:01:40]

And nobody has a right to say[00:01:43]

Go down lightly go down silently[00:01:49]

I'll go down screaming[00:02:00]

Give it back it belongs to me[00:02:03]

I'm the belle of the blues[00:02:09]

I'm used to mingling[00:02:13]

With the crème de la crème of higher society[00:02:18]

I promise them roses[00:02:28]

And an eight by ten of me[00:02:32]

But when the party's over[00:02:37]

They're all too glad to leave[00:02:41]

Their children sing of sorrow[00:02:47]

It's the same old routine[00:02:51]

They've begged and they've borrowed[00:02:55]

Someone else's misery[00:02:59]

It's an easy act to follow[00:03:05]

At least an easy one for me[00:03:10]

Give me my tomorrows[00:03:15]

You can have my memories[00:03:17]

Souvenirs from an old fashioned school[00:03:23]

Plays coquette on the pillow[00:03:33]

Like an old fashioned fool[00:03:36]

Go down lightly[00:03:41]

Go down silently[00:03:46]

You go down lonely[00:03:51]

You go down like me[00:03:56]
