Bob Geldof Big Romantic Stuff Lyrics

Big Romantic Stuff Lyrics

Did they never tell you 'bout it baby



Did they never say it's tough



Are you never going to give up on that



Big romantic stuff







That French song playing on the radio at noon



The singer's name was Jean Michel and he's singing 'bout la lune



And she shivers as she comes awake



And remembers how to think



And she shakes the hair out of her eyes



But the daylight makes her blink



And the song it whispers in her mind like a half forgotten sigh



Of times of love the longest days and youth and endless skies



And ooh la la la



ooh la la la







Did they never tell you 'bout it baby



Did they never say it's tough



Are you never going to give up on that



Big romantic stuff







To ease the pain of it, to fill the empty void



She stores up ancient souvenirs like ravens with their hoards



It's not the getting old she minds, it's the meaningless of being



She thinks about all this while Jean sings about la vie



And accordions and violins take her back in time



When the only explanation was a kiss and love and life...







Did they never tell you 'bout it baby



Did they never say it's tough



Are you never going to give up on that



Big romantic stuff
