Nobody Told Me

Everybody’s talking and no one says a word
Everybody’s making love and no one really cares
There’s Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There’s always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They’re starving back in China so finish what you got

Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed—strange days indeed

Everybody’s runnin’ and no one makes a move
Everyone’s a winner and nothing left to lose
There’s a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody’s flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody’s crying and no one makes a sound
There’s a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed—most peculiar, mama

Everybody’s smoking and no one’s getting high
Everybody’s flying and never touch the sky
There’s a UFO over New York and I ain’t too surprised

Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed—most peculiar, mama

    When it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this
    When there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this
    When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
    Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this

    When you don’t need to worry there’ll be days like this
    When no one’s in a hurry there’ll be days like this
    When you don’t get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
    Oh my mama told me there’ll be days like this

    When you don’t need an answer there’ll be days like this
    When you don’t meet a chancer there’ll be days like this
    When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
    Then I must remember there’ll be days like this

    When everyone is up front and they’re not playing tricks
    When you don’t have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
    When it’s nobody’s business the way that you wanna live
    I just have to remember there’ll be days like this

    When no one steps on my dreams there’ll be days like this
    When people understand what I mean there’ll be days like this
    When you ring out the changes of how everything is
    Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this

    Oh my mama told me
    There’ll be days like this
    Oh my mama told me
    There’ll be days like this
    Oh my mama told me
    There’ll be days like this
    Oh my mama told me
    There’ll be days like this

    Wow, this has so much class and elegance, and feeling in it, it’s fanfreakintastic, Tracey. Beautiful subtle lighting, and a pose that speaks volumes about despair. Wonderful setting, too. You should consider putting this one in this Group, I think it would fit in perfectly.

    My time out from the speeding world,
    something to ease my pain.
    Just a few minutes to shed,
    while your far away.
    A toast to all of you
    who have loved before
    and a glass I raise to my love
    and for evermore.

    fabulous moody work!! what a fantastic bench capture!!
    cheers

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Wow. Minimal post pro… just awesome staging, composition and lighting. Realism I can feel. Kinda think this style suits you.
    Jeeze, I keep going back to the way the light picks out the critical details… the outline of the collar bone. The folds in the dress. The arm of the bench. The clarity of the bottle and glass… and the way the hair falls down onto it… like black rain.
    The emotion in this just creeps into my soul and makes me wanna cry. Wow.
    Trace, this is for me the best thing you’ve done. A masterpiece. And such a worthy feature.
    Congratulations for blowing BB’s mind.
