tatiana, “been a fool”
from: spider’s web, 2011
“I’ve been a fool
I’ve stood around and acted oh so cool
I’ve been unfaithful and betrayed so cruel
Trust that’s not easily given...
I’ve been a fool
I had a temper that was not so cool
I lost my mind and broke the golden rule
Things that just can’t be forgiven
If I hadn’t been this way
Who knows where I might be today
Please make an example of me
Or do you wanna be alone?
I’ve been such a fool
I’ve been such a fool
I’ve been a fool
Back in my face is where my bad deeds came
I know I’ve only got myself to blame
Not that it makes me feel better
If I hadn’t been this way
Who knows where I might be today
Please make an example of me or
Do you wanna be alone?
I’ve been such a fool
If I hadn’t been this way
Who knows where I might be today
Please make an example of me or
Do you wanna be alone?
I’ve been such a fool ”
Tatiana Okupnik’s big, bold vocal delivery and the twangy guitars recall Shirley Bassey’s great James Bond themes. Love the oh-so-Euro, polymorphously erotic video too — the way the facial expressions underscore the devastating lyrics.
