Hackett, Steve - To A Close Lyrics
When the debs came down in their famous gowns
Jacqueline at once was the talk of the town
Launched and lunched on Society's cream
Smiled and curtsied so gently
As the curtains are drawn to a close
When her Daddy's bank sailed close to the wind
He traded it all for Gordon's Gin
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Conquered elsewhere never called again
Said a discreet madam with your pedigree
A belle de jour if ever I've seen
The home service the French lesson round
Propped up in bed all alone at The Ritz
The Evening Star printed she razored both wrists
Dressed in her furs with her girdle and gloves
Surrounded by photos of all her old loves

Hackett, Steve To A Close Comments
Ederra! Preciosa !
so much emotion! so much so......i'm always reaching for a hankerchief with this piece and the classical companion to it.
a delicate poet
It's just so beautiful.. a pity most people won't ever hear it.
I took the pic at 1:01. Oswego, NY. Glad you liked it!
one of my fav; great melodie
This is one of Steve's most beautiful songs ever... I really LOVE IT.... One of his most beautiful forgotten gems... the kind of song he never performs live nowadays, alas.... The Serpentine Song was a bit like this and he performed it often, with varied arrangements for the ending part, yet... Anyway, this is a perfect song. Very moving melody, performance and lyrics ... Masterpiece. the instrumental development put later on the album, called She Moves Through Memories, is magnificent too. I've always preferred Steve's classical music influences. Like with most artists that I love.
Una dolcezza infinita, fino alle lacrime... Lo Steve che amo di più... Grazie amico mio per tutte le emozioni che mi hai donato con la tua sublime arte da quando ti ho conosciuto 25 anni fa... Spero di incontrarti direttamente un giorno attraverso il nostro comune amico Marco...
Steve has got a gift to compose melodies so delicate and imaginific. It's a art which is underrated by the official musical critic.
It always reminds directly to the primary soul of Genesis 70 group. A sort of imprinting which Hackett shows in his compositions. it demonstrates he's a primary source of inspiration for the group of that magic period of music.
@JoeSzilagy Thanks.
