Vega, Suzanne - Frank & Ava Lyrics

Linda música

On the way to the bidet is when the trouble used to start
It didn't mean she wasn't queen of the tinderbox that was his heart
Her fire, his desire meant that everything must come undone
And, so, now we know that it's not enough to be in love
(Not enough to be in love, not enough to be in love)
He's so true, she is, too; she says "I love you Frank, " and then they drank all night
What a fight! He says "it isn't me you're thinking of"
She's cool; it makes him cruel, and they needle till the jewels go raining down
Upon the ground; she says "it's not enough to be in love"
Not enough to be in love
(It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough to be in love)
They woke up, but they broke up; they were so volatile, and all the while life passed
And it went fast; and yet they never could forget their chemistry
Like you and me, it proved to keep them both apart for life
And so, now we know that it's not enough to be in love
Not enough to be in love

Wtf did i do

ความรักสวยงามเสมอไป

Boy,... She sure looks Pretty in that Black dress/outfit on the Balcony. Love her style & Of Course Her Music too. : ) Also Looks so very Pretty in the Gold outfit : ) <3
Ohhhhh You guys,... Check out Her other song ===> No Cheap Thrill, also--> We of Me

Brutal song ...... Brutal video .....

I love this song so much!  Such a beautiful, quirky melody.  Thank you to all involved, and Suzanne.

She's a VERY sexy woman.

The voice of an angel

Oh my God.......

This is a good song. However, for some weird reason, there is a kind of effect on the vocal that is very annoying.

This song is all hook. And pretty damn fabulous.

Sinatra & Gardner?

longcat Yeah, unfortunately the real reason they broke up is Ava used the same hookers Frank used...but that's not a Suzy V song 😐

Nice to hear she had one cool one left in her after, If I Were A Weapon. New Fave!

Not a bad song, but not really the mood I would have associated with the theme. Maybe that would have rather been something for Sade.

I could listen to this piece for 29 hours straight.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant

The best!!!!

Molto bella.
Composta la Vega..

This has a Punk Rock sound. Such an incredibly versatile artist.

2007...

Trying to find the guy who shot this video. René? I worked with him briefly in 2013.

I used to fancy Ava's first hubby, Mickey. I love my Dorothy musical doll; when you turn the key in her back, the tune Over the Rainbow = played.

It's a pity that no more video has been released of Beauty&Crimes .Many songs of this beautiful record are so inspiring !

I found my brake up song..

This is a great song from her "Beauty & Crime" album, and cleverly crafted song
about the tempestuous relationship between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner.  I
saw Suzanne play this Live in 2010 and she was absolutely fantastic.  The whole
album revolved around New York City, where she lives.  The songs are all about
life experiences, both personal and otherwise. 

the backing vocals are kinda sheryl crow-y, aren't they? great song from a great album.

@kisdubos79 That's actually KT Tunstall, the excellent Scottish singer :-)

Always Suzy the Voice the Guitar the Life !

your still numbe 1 in my top 10

I can't believe this jewel of a singer and song writer is not always on the top 10!

This should have been a pop hit on alternative radio. But, thing is, the subject matter is probably lost upon the demographic that buys music in vast numbers. Suzanne is quite capable of creating music that becomes widely popular - and has done so quite a bit. But she's unwilling to sell her soul to put out pure calculated crap just to gain additional popularity or make a few more bucks. She has integrity and has demonstrated it throughout her career.

Suzanne is old enough to be my mother but she's hot or at least not bad

Nothing wrong with liking an older woman.

This song plays at work and it's awesome, this singer is very talented.

I love you Suzanne!

She good Singer better than new one out there

This was a really good idea. Good song, awesome and catchy tune.

A tune with great insight into Frank and Ava's doomed love affair, but the images, Frank with sideburns, I think not, the closest he came to them was when he welcomed Elvis home from the army, otherwise, lovely tune and lyrics.

No problem about the few songs she seems to be known for. Sooner or later people will get tired of listening to every new mediocre grasping a microphone and pretending to be a singer. Suzanne has never felt forced to use extravagance to express herself, nevertheless she's great due to the incredible quality of her music.

Z którego to roku???

Love Tamara Gorski as Ava Gardner in the video - go Tamara!

hey the lady in the kitchen is from hercules show

I <3 SV and KT

Suzanne Vega is as smart a songwriter as she is beautiful. It is so rare that one finds one of such exquisite taste in selecting songs. Her lyrics, always so visual are just perfectly juxtapositioned against wonderful arrangements and her always distinctive voice. She has a consistent style, and yet she has always taken chances - her music is very diverse. But, as with all great artists, I think she is much more into making quality music than topping charts - thankfully!

@kenrogers2009

Amen...and kinda talented, too.

CRIMINAL

..that Suzanne does not garner more attention for her absolute first-rate tunes and lyrics such as this small jewel. Some artists, alas, must seek extra solace in the knowledge that they will remain important and relevant far into the future, instead of but in the here and now.
A little more here and now here would be nice, though.
Alas.

@luviindream It was in 2007.

Excellent. Production also way up there.

@kenrogers2009 what year was this?

This woman just keeps getting better. It's a shame she's only known for Luka and Tom's Diner. Her stuff over the last 10 years blows those songs out of the water.

At the time Suzanne made this video, she was 48. At that age, Suzanne is as beautiful (maybe even better looking) as she was back in the '80s.
