Francoise Hardy - Tiny Goddess

One of Ms Hardy's impossible to find early songs. There are Italian and French versions. The original is in English and was first a hit by a group called Nirvana in England...Not THAT Nirvana :). In my opinion, the Italian version is the best I have ever heard. This is the English version.
Ms Hardy has a huge English Speaking following and every now and then she would throw us a bone by recording something in English. :) This is off an early LP. I still think she looks stunning and hopefully I show this in the clips.
I also have the French version and will put that out in a few days.

Lyrics
------------------------------
tiny goddess wrapped in lace
that certain smile upon your face
is telling me what's to be when he leaves
in a room just five foot eight
I sit alone and I will wait
to hear from him, to wait for him to call me

don't let him humour me
with letters I won't read
please sympathise with me
if only you could speak

photograph that's in my case
will travel with me every place
reminding me
what to be for his love
orchards smell of sweet perfume
the mountainside is now in bloom
and I am here
waiting for his company

don't let him humour me
with letters I won't read
the clock's at half past three
it's stopped awake like me

tiny goddess wrapped in lace
that certain smile upon your face
is telling me what's to be when he leaves
in a room just five foot eight
I sit alone and I will wait
to hear from him, to wait for him to call me

[Amanzi1]

You are very welcome. I've been trying to find her rare stuff. I don't want to post anything that is easily available on CD or DVD. This was another of those songs I loved when I was little.

[tickpush]

I've been in love with her form and face and her French femininity since the sixties. Combine these with her beautiful voice and the intense romantic themes of her songs and you have extasy.

So charming, her French accent when sung in English. Great song for her voice, too in any language. What a classy lady.

Andreas Dorau sampled part of this for "Allein im Park", a great little tune from the nineties with some haunting story to it. Thanks so much for putting this up :)

WONDERFUL, MARVELLOUS FRANCOISE! I discovered this song, and believe-me I started to love-it, as ever, FHardy puts the sun through the windows. A fan from Argentina salutes-you all, friends!!!

UltraSexy performance!

[rutaloot]

I am 17 and absolutely love Francoise Hardy!....if only today's artists had not only her talent but also her great style

[longboarder771]

If you like this, listen to her singing,"Only Friends", touchingly beautiful.
