20 Feb 00 - 08:05 PM (#181879) Subject: Lyr Add: GRAND HOTEL^^ From: Greg F. Yes, it s David Blue, not Phil. The following is strictly from memory (from about 1968) so may not be 100%. Somewhere round here I've got the album with David Blue performing it; when/if I find it will post any corrections & discography. Hope this helps. Best, Greg GRAND HOTEL (David Blue, a.k.a. Dave Cohen) The lady speaks with tenderness, she offers up her key "Ah, come to me when you need a rest, I only want to please" And I go to her with an open mind, seeking only peace She smiles and takes my weary coat: "I'll fill all your needs" Ah, but there I was treated especially well, it was a grand hotel. Her pillow lay like fine perfume, so gentle[or gently] for my head And her sheets were turned with love in mind, it was a perfect bed At night she would sometimes ask what was inside of me And fully I gave her all the truth, but my words she would not believe Ah, but there I was treated especially well, it was a grand hotel
Convinced that I held back from her she grew dissatisfied

21 Feb 00 - 12:03 AM (#181985) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: grand hotel From: MarkS The album is "These 23 Days in September" on Reprise, # 6296. It has likely been out of production for years, I looked on Amazon.com and got no return for either the album or for David Blue. Best bet, maybe the used shops MarkS |
