Once I Was A Lady
Lucky Fonz III
GENRE
Once I was a lady
Dressed in black and blue
I used to walk the boulevard
Because that's what ladies do
My nails were always polished
My secrets always hid
I just did whatever it was
That all the other ladies did
At nighttime around my bedside
I keep a million lights
One for every soldier
Who fought the war and died
For my husband is a landlord
Whose eyes are full of greed
And his army full of young men
Whom he never even sees
But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves
And diamonds on my mind
Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light others leave behind
Once I was a soldier
In the army of some lord
I have never even seen him
I just got paid to hold his sword
I kept my armour shiny
And I kept my secrets hid
And whatever I was told to do
That is what I did
When I think about it now it's hard for me to say
Whether I had a choice in life to do the things my way
Because by the time I heard about that lady's bedside state
I had already gone far too far and it was already too late
But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves
And diamonds on my mind
Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light others leave behind
Once I was a student
I had to pick up my degree
And I thought about the years gone by
The years that numbered three
How things that had seemed important
Turned out to be a joke
And things that had seemed natural
Had all gone up in smoke
Earlier a crowd had come to see me win my prize
I felt like I deserved it, it was justice in my eyes
But the only thing that I could think was
What am I gonna do?
When all of this is over
When my days of hope are through?'
But now I am somebody else with golden books upon my shelves
And diamonds on my mind
Strolling through the woods at night to find the little bits of light others leave behind
Dressed in black and blue
I used to walk the boulevard
Because that's what ladies do
My nails were always polished
My secrets always hid
I just did whatever it was
That all the other ladies did
At nighttime around my bedside

Who fought the war and died

Whose eyes are full of greed
And his army full of young men
