killrhythm We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
And the room was hummin' harder
As the ceiling flew away
And when we called outfor another drink
But the waiter brought a tray

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

You said: "There is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wander through my playin' cards
Would not let him be
One of the sixteen virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
A whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A whiter shade of pale

no reason i like this song.

i was listening to it on a cd that was immediately followed by "bohemian rhapsody", and noticed that, coincidentally, both songs incorporated the word "fandango".

Flowers from Safeway I love this song!
Sarah Brightman covered it, and I kinda like that too.

pipedream but her face turned pale....was it the dancing, was it the prospect of leaving...maybe they were charismatic pirates on the run...and sixteen virgins...sacrificial, almost 030629
