La Vie En Rose - Neil Innes (HD)

La Vie En Rose from ‘The Innes Book of Records’.
Original broadcast date: 12th October 1981.
“When love is new you take any chance, but love is friendship much more than romance”
A song from Neil’s second album ‘Taking Off’. Neil’s plays a drunken writer’s fantasy about being a suave man-about-town in Paris out on a date with Jude Bickley (who also played the mermaid in ‘Rock of Ages’). Nick Cabaret sings and John Altman conducts the big band in his second appearance in the series.

Such a cold, cold morning
The wind against my face
No special feelings
Just a sleepless night to taste
I never had so many memories to waste
Oh oh, la vie en rose
Such a girl can make you
And then you wonder why
When in the morning
You find a way to say goodbye
But did it have to take all night
To kiss away each lie?
Oh oh, la vie en rose
Oh oh, la vie en rose
When love is new
The stars are in your eyes
When love is new
The world is in disguise
When love is new
You take any chance
But love is friendship
Much more than romance
Such a cold, cold morning
The wind against my face
No special feelings
Just a sleepless night to taste
I never had so many memories to waste
Oh oh, la vie en rose
Oh , la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie en rose
Ohh, la vie en rose
Ohh...
