paroles de chanson One Night In Hollywood - Feargal Sharkey

Well I met her down at Jacksons
That's a bar at the end of my street
Where the lonely-hearted congregate
And two fools on a bar stool meet
And she wore a mink from 1924
She gave me a smile
She said it helped her remember
When she was poor
And before she had starred, yeah
She said in a past life
She was the Queen of Egypt
Or maybe once a millionairess
But this time around
It's the kingdom of Hollywood
Of which I am the fairest
She said maybe you've seen me at the movies
And maybe on the screen
But right now I'm taken it easy
Right now I'm in a dream
But I'll take another drink, she said
And she lit a cigarette
And the pause in our conversation
Gave her time to forget
Then she looked at me through those masked eyes and said
They just don't realise
I can't go on forever
I can't go on forever
And someday I'll be gone
And all those fan letters
They sure do take their toll
And my agent I finally had on the table
But I'll take another drink, she said
And make it a double this time
And a big hand slipped passed twelve
And a clock began to chime
Oh, I must have my rest
Oh, the pressure's great
And all the best
And I can't go on forever
I can't go on forever
And someday I'll be gone
I bought her another drink
And I kissed her on the cheek
And she drank it down
And she stumbled to her feet
Well it was the performance of a lifetime
And we stood and gave a hand
To the greatest star in Hollywood
To the greatest star in all the land
Oh, I've got to go, she said
My limo waits for me
And I watched her through the window
As she walked silently down the street
And her words keep echoing
I can't go on forever
I can't go on forever
For someday I'll be gone
I can't go on forever
I can't go on forever
And someday I'll be gone
