this song is stuck in my head today…
(as sung by diana krall)
East Of The Sun
(And West Of The Moon)
East of the sun and west of the moon
We’ll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We’ll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we’ll keep it that way
Up among the stars we’ll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
Revelations about what I REALLY want from life:
Peel Me A Grape
(as sung by diana krall)
Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
Talk to me nice, talk to me nice
You’ve got to wine and dine me
Don’t try to fool me bejewel me
Either amuse me or lose me
I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape
Pop me a cork, french me a fry
Crack me a nut, bring a bowl full of bon-bons
Chill me some wine, keep standing by
Just entertain me, champagne me
Show me you love me, kid glove me
Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
I’m getting hungry, peel me grape
Here’s how to be an agreeable chap
Love me and leave me in luxury’s lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say, “do it,” jump to it
Send out for scotch, boil me a crab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never out think me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, don’t bug me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape
I tell ya, wouldn’t it be nice? I could live like that.

Diana Krall is so great.
And I’ve always loved “Peel me a Grape”. I could live like that too.
Sure, why not? I’ll peel you a grape. What a funny song. Actually I’ve never heard it. But the lyrics kinda make me chuckle.
I love that song. I used to peel my own grapes. I need a slave, especially after reading the last paragraph.
I can’t believe how many Diana Krall fans there are these days.
Laaa lalaaaa
ARGHHH DIANA KRALL>…MUST …POUR MOLTEN…IRON…IN..EARS…
dare to dream… dare to dream…
Diana Krall is great. I like her version of “I Get Along Without You Very Well.”
hehehe… very swanky!
(“french” me a fry? haha!
)
re your comment on the spaghetti plate: I dunno what’s wrong with a spoon, I just suck it up myself
btw any spare slaves you have send them to me. I can keep them occupied when not peeling grapes or shaking out the mink rugs.
one of the most amazing things about my life, is that my monkey comes darn close to that… he doesn’t snap to, and I wouldnt ask him to, but he does spoil me and treat me like a princess. and he likes to do it. who knew they actually exisited…
he likes diana krall, too. I’ll ask him to play the song for me
Diana Krall is in the news all the time here in the Great White North. Unfortunately, that’s mostly cos of who she’s presently sleeping with.
But I love her for herself too.
That song is so> Nowel Coward. I’ll peel you a grape. I do it all the time for my niece. All you needed to do was ask, damnit. There was no need to bloody sing. really.
