billie holiday ve lisa ekdahl da harika okur bu parçayı.
lyrics:
they're writing songs of love, but not for me.
a lucky star's above, but not for me.
with love to lead the way
i've found more clouds of grey
than any russain play could guarantee.
i was a fool to fall and get that way;
heigh-ho! alas! and also, lack-a-day!
although i can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss, i guess he's mot for me.

he's knocking on a door, but not for me.
he'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
i know that love's a game;
i'm puzzled, just the same,
was i the moth or flame?
i'm all at sea.
it all began so well, but what an end!
this is the time a feller needs a friend,
when ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
and there's no knot for me.

chet baker yorumu, üç dakikalığına kartal-kadıköy minibüsünde olunduğu unutturan şaheser.

george gershwin tarafından bestelenen ve sözleri ira gershwin'e ait olan 1930 tarihli popüler caz parçası. ilk olarak aynı yıl sahnelenen girl crazy müzikalinde ginger rogers tarafından seslendirilmiştir. yıllar içerisinde defalarca coverlanan şarkının en ünlü yorumları arasında judy garland, billie holiday ve ella fitzgerald ön plana çıkmaktadır. ayrıca bu eser, manhattan (1979), when harry met sally (1989) ve four weddings and a funeral (1994) gibi filmlerde de soundtrack şarkısı olarak kullanılmıştır. şarkının birbirinden biraz farklı sözleri bulunmaktadır. genel kabul gören sözler şöyledir;

old man sunshine listen you
never tell me dreams come true
just try it
and i'll start a riot
beatrice fairfax don't you dare
ever tell me that she will care
i'm certain
it's the final curtain
don't want to hear from and cheerful pollyannas
who tell me love will find a way
it's all bananas

they're writing songs of love
but not for me
a lucky star's above
but not for me
with love to lead the way
i've found more clouds of gray
than any russian play
could guarantee

i was a fool to fall
and get that way
hi ho alas
and also lackaday
although i can't dismiss
the memory of her kiss
i guess she's not
she's not for me

it all began so well
but what an end
this is the time
a fellow needs a friend
when every happy plot
ends with a marriage knot
and there's no knot
no (k)not for me

chet baker yorumu born to be blue filmi izledikten sonra başka türlü duyulan gershwin güzelliği.

herkes soyler ama $öyle bi de verse'u vardir, onu herkes soylemez iste.

old man sunshine - listen you
never tell me dreams come true
just try it - and all start a riot

beatrice fairfax don't you dare
ever tell me she will care
i'm certain - it's the final curtain

i never want to here from any cheerful pollyanna's
who tell you fate supplies a mate - it?s all bananas

julie london tarafindan da yorumlanmis bir parcadir. ancak chet baker ayni sarkiyla sonbaharda okyanus kiyisi, julie london ise yaz ortasi bir gol kenari hissi verir.
