I can't get started - by Bunny Berigan (1937)

Rowland Bernard "Bunny" Berigan (1908 - 1942) was an American jazz trumpeter who rose to fame during the Swing Era, but whose virtuosity and influence were shortened by a losing battle with alcoholism that ended in his early death.

 The lyrics:
I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
And the North Pole I have charted
Still I can't get started with you

On the golf course, I'm under par
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
I've got a house, a showplace
Still I can't get no place with you

'Cause you're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
Dream day and night of you
And I scheme just for the sight of you
Baby, what good does it do?

I've been consulted by Franklin D
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
Still I'm broken-hearted

'Cause I can't get started with you

bisschen Dietrich, bisschen Sandrock – von wegen dem Ton.

Due di notte senza amore
ed io appoggiato ad un lampione
solo
Due di notte a spasso
ed io che seguo i passi di quel passo
come si fa
a dire divertirsi in questa città
come si fa
a dire qualche novità

Esco da un locale
trovo davanti la mia vecchia scuola
solo
Qui le due di notte
si fanno tre ma sono poche ancora
come si fa
a spendere così la mia età
dove si va
per un po' di felicità

Qui ci vorrebbe un miracolo
una notte dai mille grandi incontri
un dolce amore là all'angolo
occhi di quelli che uccidono
le scarpe basse di un angelo
due vecchi amici che tornano
Vorrei qualcosa di fantastico
darei la vita per trovare
Greta Garbo al semaforo
ali di quelle che volano
verso un destino romantico
incontro a un nuovo pericolo

Tre di notte a piedi
a regalare cicche ai marciapiedi
solo
Tre di notte vanno
ed io che non ho soldi e non ho sonno
come si fa
a dormire in questa città

dove si va
stare fermi è un'assurdità

Via Nazionale
qui non si può che camminare
solo

Tre di notte e quattro
ed io che sono triste e insoddisfatto
come si fa
a spendere così la mia età
dove si va
per un po' di felicità

Qui ci vorrebbe un miracolo
una notte dai mille incontri
un dolce amore nel traffico
la piazza piena di fragole
due orchestre in gamba che suonano
un vecchio tempo ballabile
Vorrei qualcosa di impossibile
darei la vita per trovare
Greta Garbo al mio tavolo
e bere in due fino all'ultimo
tutto il futuro in un attimo
e poi mi porti via il diavolo

Tre di notte e quattro
Ed io che sono triste e insoddisfatto

Solo
Due di notte senza amore
ed io appoggiato ad un lampione

Solo

Due di notte a spasso
Ed io che seguo i passi di quel passo

Solo

Tre di notte a piedi
a regalare cicche ai marciapiedi

Solo

Tre di notte vanno
ed io che non ho soldi non ho sonno

Solo

The lyrics:
She had exquisite style
She was upper class
She had supernatural grace
A mélange of Aphrodite and Venus
Combined with an angel's face

She didn't talk to the press
She couldn't care less
She didn't even answer the phone
She said on one occasion, without persuasion:
I want to be left alone
From this moment on, from dusk till dawn
Till the end of time, I'll be with you
You'll be with me, forever in my mind

It's you I see before me, oh oh, Garbo
C'est toi que je t'adore, oh oh, Garbo
A lovers' greatest story, oh oh, Garbo
They say well that's amore! oh oh, Garbo

People say on the day of victory, no fatigue is felt
Garbo, it's you that has the power
That makes ev'ry man's heart melt
They say that, when the heart is a fire
Sparks fly out of the cage but beauty is like a good wine,

The taste is sweeter with age
No man can guess in cold blood
What he might do in passion
But the things that he deplores today
Are tomorrow's latest fashion
Serving one's own passion
Is the greatest slavery
But if in wanting you
I become your slave
I intend no bravery

From this moment on, from dusk till dawn
Till the end of time, I'll be with you
You'll be with me, forever in my mind
It's you I see before me....... Garbo

Karg wird sie einmal wiederkehr'n
wie die Spur eines Raben
in der Mähne des Winters.
Karg wird sie einmal wiederkehr'n
wie ein Teller voll Wasser. Karg.

Und wenn man euch erzählt,
das sie gestorben sei.
Glaubt es nicht, glaubt es ihnen nicht.
Liebt sie bloß ein wenig mehr.
Greta Garbo, Greta Garbo
mit dem Hut im 1000-Dollar-Grau
keine Göttin, nur verwundbar
Greta Garbo ist ein Zittern namens Frau.

You could be Marilyn...
Or you could forget

I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools

Venus doesn't glitter when she stands next to you
When you're waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose

Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you mustn't give it up for you're still but a guest

You could be Garbo or even Marlene
Or you could forget

Greta – Greta

denn alle Männer dieser Welt
lieben nur die Greta – Greta
geh' nur noch verschleiert aus
will mystisch sein wie du
denn mein liebes Verlangen
gibt mir keine Ruh'

Geh' nie in die Sonne mehr
blass zu sein wie Greta – Greta
doch mein Spiegel sagt zu mir du
wirst nie die Greta – Greta
schnüre mich in Leibchen ein
die göttliche Figur

doch packt mich ein Mann dann aus
flieht er auf den Flur
hätt ich nur dein Wesen …
Ich bin die Reinkarnation der göttlichen Greta

doch niemand kann es seh'n
das ist ein Problem – Greta hilf mir
hätt ich nur dein Wesen …
Wäre ich die göttliche Gre-he-he-he-he-he-ta
wär mein Leben halb so schwer
Greta hilf mir

My Greatest Greta - by 3 Cold Men (2005)

Formed in late 1999 by Franck Lopez from the french group Opera Multi Steel, Alex Twin from Individual Industry and Maurizio Bonito from Volv Uncion, this band takes its roots among the three members' common musical tastes.

Their major influences are running from the britannic Cold-Wave down to the french and german Electro-Gothic styles from the 80's and 90's. Their musical style is known nowadays as Retro Wave.

The song My Greatest Greta appeared on their 2005 released album Urban Rmxs.

They performed the song several times live and the audience loved it.

In November 2007 the A merican band DATA-BANK-A, did a special remix for My Greatest Greta (Garbot Radio Days Edit). This remix is exclusive track for download only  and will be released in January 2008 on their new album Photogram.
