Shades Of Scarlett Conquering (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell[00:00:01]
Out of the fire like catholic saints[00:00:20]
Comes scarlett and her deep complaint[00:00:25]
Mimicking tenderness she sees[00:00:30]
In sentimental movies[00:00:35]
A celluloid rider comes to town[00:00:40]
Cinematic lovers sway[00:00:45]
Plantations and sweeping ballroom gowns[00:00:49]
Take her breath away[00:00:55]
Out in the wind in crinolines[00:01:01]
Chasing the ghosts of gable and flynn[00:01:06]
Through stand in boys and extra players[00:01:11]
Magnolias hopeful in her auburn hair[00:01:15]
She comes from a school of southern charm[00:01:20]
She likes to have things her way[00:01:25]
Any man in the world holding out his arm[00:01:30]
Would soon be made to pay[00:01:35]
Friends have told her not so proud[00:01:42]
Neighbors trying to sleep and yelling not so loud[00:01:46]
Lovers in anger block of ice[00:01:51]
Harder and harder just to be nice[00:01:56]
Given in the night to dark dreams[00:02:21]
From the dark things she feels[00:02:26]
She covers her eyes in the X rated scenes[00:02:30]
Running from the reels[00:02:35]
Beauty and madness to be praised[00:02:41]
'Cause it is not easy to be brave[00:02:46]
To walk around in so much need[00:02:50]
To carry the weight of all that greed[00:02:55]
Dressed in stolen clothes she stands[00:03:00]
Cast iron and frail[00:03:06]
With her impossibly gentle hands[00:03:10]
And her blood red fingernails[00:03:16]
Out of the fire and still smoldering[00:03:21]
She says a[00:03:25]
Woman must have everything[00:03:26]
Shades of scarlett conquering[00:03:31]
She says[00:03:34]
A woman must have everything[00:03:36]
