| | Lush Life Lyrics Artist(Band):Nat King Cole
Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get the feel of life... From jazz and cocktails. The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distingue traces That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away By too many through the day... Twelve o'clock tales. Then you came along with your siren of song To tempt me to madness! I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness Of a great love for me. Ah yes! I was wrong... Again, I was wrong. Life is lonely again, And only last year everything seemed so sure. Now life is awful again, A troughful of hearts could only be a bore. A week in Paris will ease the bite of it, All I care is to smile in spite of it. I'll forget you, I will While yet you are still burning inside my brain. Romance is mush, Stifling those who strive. I'll live a lush life in some small dive... And there I'll be, while I rot With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..

Review about Lush Life Recording unauthorized by composer | Reviewer: drjeo | 6/27/2007 While this recording displays Nat Cole's great voice to good advantage, it was made without the knowledge or consent of the song's composer, Billy Strayhorn. The recording did serve to introduce the song to a wider audience; Strayhorn had regarded it as a private effort, which he played only at parties or for friends. The arrangement is awful, and departs entirely from the original intent of the song. This song has a dour, even bitter, outlook, belying the young age of the composer, who started writing it while still a high school student. Some have guessed that the song is a reference to Strayhorn's homosexuality. A great song - oddly, not really a jazz song at all - which deserved better treatment than this recording.
