A Whiter Shade of Pale

We skipped the light fandango

turned cartwheels ’cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

but the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder

as the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink

the waiter brought a tray.

And so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said, ‘There is no reason

and the truth is plain to see.’

But I wandered through my playing cards

and would not let her be

one of sixteen vestal virgins

who were leaving for the coast

and although my eyes were open

they might have just as well've been closed.

And so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale.

She said, ‘I’m home on shore leave’,

though in truth we were at sea

so I took her by the looking glass

and forced her to agree

saying, ‘You must be the mermaid

who took Neptune for a ride.’

But she smiled at me so sadly

that my anger straightway died.

And so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale.

If music be the food of love

then laughter is its queen

and likewise if behind is in front

then dirt in truth is clean

My mouth by then like cardboard

seemed to slip straight through my head

So we crash-dived straightway quickly

and attacked the ocean bed.

And so it was that later

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale.

bedankt! ❤

@moderators: May I ask why was the ownership of this song taken away from me without any comment?

Hate when stuff like this happens without an explanation.

@ evfokas, are you sure you submitted the lyrics yourself and not just translated the song?

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/whiter-shade-pale-pio-aspro-tono-toy-xlom...

I see the song was submitted on 11/05/2011 and you joined the site on 29/06/2011.

@Calusarul: As you can see for yourself the song is entered in the style most of my songs are written using [refrain:] to mark the chorus blah blah. Furthermore the only translation of the song is mine. I also created the Procol Harum entry that someone also took ownership and deleted what I've entered. So yes I'm dead sure and I don't like this.

OK, the admins will take a look at that.

I want to tell you that something... funny (euphemism of "stupid") happened to me a few months ago. I edited a song, added diacritics, a video, but I didn't change the author. A week or two later I saw that song edited "my style" and asked the admins who had stolen "my" song. Well, I realized later on that I had mistaken myself.

We'll find out who's done this terrible mistake and we'll tie him down to the pranger. (I hope I'm not guilty this time).
