Gainsbourg, Charlotte - Vanities Lyrics






You could have it all
You could pawn it off
You could learn to crawl
Where you used to walk

And I... I'm only burning vanities

You could tell a tale
You could sell it off
You could find a grail
Made of cinder block

And I... I'm only burning vanities

    You could have it all
    You could pawn it off
    You could learn to crawl
    Where you used to walk

    Made of cinder block

    And I... I'm only burning vanities

  16. J.... L....

    beautiful like everything that leaves her lips

  17. S.... ....

    Now I gotta understand this song is sorta lullaby..?..I guess. it's is hypnotic...Damian Rice's is a lullaby for me...I thought it's sarcasm in the song. Gainsbourg daughter has grown beautifully. salute

  18. S.... ....

    have read about Savonarola..evil.
    sinful temptation...such as?
    khahaha...like N&A???
    not moi~
    The statue looks powerful...long fingers too.

    merci~

  19. W.... ....

    "The Bonfire of the Vanities" was about discarding certain objects which could lead people into sinful temptation ..... preached by a15th century Florentine priest Girolamo Savonarola. He ordered burnings of such objects.....rose to power.....fell .....and was burned himself in a spectacular way!
    (Google >"ITAL 233, ARHA 226, HIST 212" ) Go to "Gallery" at the top of the page and there is an interesting engraving illustrating the event halfway down.)

  20. W.... ....

    SHINYamAHA21,
    This lullaby sleepily points towards a return to simplicity, the alternative to an excessive lifestyle ("You could have it all").....as though she has experienced it. Beck's orchestration describes a dark panoramic space containing fragility (wounded electronic notes and shivering violins) like a sudden change of emotional state.

  21. S.... ....

    Thank you, Westonelm for the song...actually it looks...different than just hearing it.
    hatred in the song.

  22. W.... ....

    You could have it all
    You could pawn it off
    You could learn to crawl
    Where you used to walk

    And I Im only burning vanities

    You could tell a tale
    You could sell it off
    You could find a grail
    Made of cinder block

    And I Im only burning vanities
