The Ballad of Lucy Jordan Lyrics

Cover art for The Ballad of Lucy Jordan lyrics by Belinda Carlisle

This is a cover of a song originally done by Marianne Faithfull.

I think its quite easy to understand. Its about a woman who has led a pretty standard life, but at the age of 37 is at a crossroads where she thinks she wants to achieve more. She considers running down the street naked, screaming! Then a tall dark stranger offers her his hand and leads her to his car for an adventure. Maybe you are never too young to do something exciting in your life.
