Bob Geldof
Big Romantic Stuff
Did they never tell you 'bout it babyDid they never say it's toughAre you never going to give up on thatBig romantic stuffThat French song playing on the radio at noonThe singer's name was Jean Michel and he's singing 'bout la luneAnd she shivers as she comes awakeAnd remembers how to thinkAnd she shakes the hair out of her eyesBut the daylight makes her blinkAnd the song it whispers in her mind like a half forgotten sighOf times of love the longest days and youth and endless skiesAnd ooh la la laooh la la laDid they never tell you 'bout it babyDid they never say it's toughAre you never going to give up on thatBig romantic stuffTo ease the pain of it, to fill the empty voidShe stores up ancient souvenirs like ravens with their hoardsIt's not the getting old she minds, it's the meaningless of beingShe thinks about all this while Jean sings about la vieAnd accordions and violins take her back in timeLetras de cancionesWhen the only explanation was a kiss and love and life...Did they never tell you 'bout it babyDid they never say it's toughAre you never going to give up on thatBig romantic stuff
