Regina Spektor – Lady Lyrics 19 years ago
just expanding on the previous comment

this song is indeed about Billie Holiday

She had an album/song called "Lady Sings the Blues"

"lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regrets
takes a look around, no regrets no regrets
stretches out like branches of a poplar tree
says "I am free", sings so soft as if she'll break"

"No Regrets" is the title of a Billie Holidaysong

the part about the poplar tree is a reference to one of Billie's most reknown songs "Strange Fruit"



I simply looove this song, and Billie Holiday
