Elkie Brooks - No more the fool 1987

Elkie Brooks - No more the fool 1987

Just why I stayed around
When all I found was a heartache
I believed your every word
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make

But why did it take so long
Alas, now I've seen the light
I found the heart to say

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now

No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break

No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool

You thought I'd break
Then you were wrong
That I won't see what's goin' on
But I knew

Here I am
I'm alive
And you'll see I'll survive
Without you

And I won't be the one who comes runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
It's your turn to run to me

And I won't be the one who comes runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
It's your turn to run to me

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now

No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break

No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool

All the nights I waited for you to call
I waited for a sign that you would stay
But it's so clear
You didn't care at all

No more the fool

No more the fool
No more the nights
No more the fool
No more the nights
No more the fool

No more the sight
No more the sound
And hit the ground
No more the fool

No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now

No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break

No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool

No more the fool
No more the nights
No more the fool
No more the nights
No more the fool

No more the sight
No more the sound
And hit the ground
No more the fool

She LIVES the song !!!!

What a voice !! Fantastic!

[villiers210]

My favourite British female blues singer - by a mile! First saw her live in 1972. She's done it all and seen it it all. The original wild woman of rock. And still belting out Jimi Hendrix stuff today. Awesome.

What a performance, truly outstanding singer. X-Factor rubbish, eat your heart out, this is what a truly talented performer sounds like!!

[SuperFoxylady2010]

Amazing lady an singer you stole the show elkie

[harryandsimba]

What a marvellous tone.

Sadly underrated,poorly promoted abroad I'd guess.She should have been massive all over

the world,puts some of the big names to shame.
