a whiter shade of pale

• sarah brightman'ın da güzel söylediği bir şarkı. hoş, çok hoş.
• sozleri tam olarak asagida ki gibi olan yuzyilin en iyi 20 bestesi siralamalarinda hep bir sekilde gorunmeyi basarmis siradisi bir eser.
  
  we skipped the light fandango
  turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
  i was feeling kinda seasick
  but the crowd called out for more
  the room was humming harder
  as the ceiling flew away
  when we called out for another drink
  the waiter brought a tray
  and so it was that later
  as the miller told his tale
  that her face, at first just ghostly,
  turned a whiter shade of pale
  she said, 'there is no reason
  and the truth is plain to see.'
  but i wandered through my playing cards
  and would not let her be
  one of sixteen vestal virgins
  who were leaving for the coast
  and although my eyes were open
  they might have just as well've been closed
  
  she said, 'i'm home on shore leave,'
  though in truth we were at sea
  so i took her by the looking glass
  and forced her to agree
  saying, 'you must be the mermaid
  who took neptune for a ride.'
  but she smiled at me so sadly
  that my anger straightway died
  
  if music be the food of love
  then laughter is its queen
  and likewise if behind is in front
  then dirt in truth is clean
  my mouth by then like cardboard
  seemed to slip straight through my head
  so we crash-dived straightway quickly
  and attacked the ocean bed
