“The ballad of Lucy Jordan”. En riktig klassiker som vi valde att tolka på vårt eget sätt. Vår coverversion av denna visade sig vara ett lyckokast då den snabbt fick många visningar på Youtube. Den har visats i TV flera gånger, vunnit en covertävling i Japan och blivit en favorit hos många. Shel Silverstein skrev låten åt “Dr Hook” på 70-talet men fick sitt stora genombrott med Marianne Faithfuls cover på 80-talet. En rolig parentes är att vi fick förfrågan att bidra med våran version till Shel Silverstein museet då bolaget tyckte om våran tolkning och musikvideo. Riktigt kul! Låten gjorde vi 2008 och släppte videon 2009-05-16.

The morning sun touched lightly
On the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
In a white suburban town

And she lay there ‘neath the covers
Dreaming of a thousand lovers
Til the world turned to orange
And the room went spinning round

Her husband, he’s off to work
And the kids are off to school
And there were oh so many ways
For her to spend her days
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 37
She realized she’d 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 she’d memorized
In her Daddy’s easy chair

The evening sun touched gently
On the eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the rooftop 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 37
She realized she’d 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 she’d memorized
In her Daddy’s easy chair

At the age of 37
She knew she’d found forever
As she rode along through Paris
With the warm wind in her hair
