Nellie in the Bistro

If Nellie was to be an all-round chanteuse, she needed a real heartbreaker of a cabaret song. I did my best. Nellie's voice got a lot of extra tweaking to get a natural looseness and Piaf type lilt to her delivery. The orchestra is just what you see in the picture -- concertina, tuba, guitar and violin. The violin was a lot of work. Al Standish helped me with the tuba part. I think Nellie looks good in her Apache outfit, too.

 

Youre
Still Gone

 

 

I'm still here, among the things I love,
And the heavens overhead, still blue....
I still wander at night, and the moon's still as bright
And I still can see all the stars that were there with you.
I still lead the life I used to live,
And the days still go on much too long.
Everything's the same with me
It's just like it used to be
And you're still gone ...you're still gone.

I still keep a mirror by the door.
And I still look pretty good somehow.
When I walk through the town, all the boys turn around
And they still will thrill ... and they'll give me a smile and bow.
I still sing the songs I used to sing
And I still believe in every song.
Everything is still the same
Nothing's ever going to change.
And you're still gone ...you're still gone.

I still sleep on my side of the bed
And I still reach out for you at night.
I still want you to call, I still hurt from it all
But I still would fight ... and I still would believe I'm right.
I still keep my best face for the crowd
I still won't admit it when I'm wrong.
I still don't know what to do,
I still love no one but you,
And you're still gone ...you're still gone.
