Dandies

A dandy is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance. A dandy could be a self-made man who strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. Previous manifestations of the petit-maître (French for "small master") and the Muscadin have been noted by John C. Prevost, but the modern practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and in Paris. The dandy cultivated cynical reserve, yet to such extremes that novelist George Meredith, himself no dandy, once defined cynicism as "intellectual dandyism".

The day outside is right and bright but to me now everything is wrong
I took your love for granted and now it's suddenly gone
You know just how it happens by chance
You blurt out a certain word and cast a certain glance
And there you are, all hot and rocking and all alone

It was when you left without saying a word
That I've realized what I must have lost
The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow
With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun
With all its fun and joy - what have I done!
Too late to cry, too late to pray, "Don't go away!"

Now what's the use repeating to myself, "Be careful what you blurt out!"
What's the use repeating to myself, "Be gentle with the ones around you!"
Don't think yourself completely awesome
Lest you turn definitely lonesome
Parted with the one you know you cannot live without

It was when you left without saying a word
That I've realized what I must have lost
The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow
With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun
With all its fun and joy - what have I done!
Too late to cry, too late to pray "Don't go away!"

It was when you left without saying a word
That I've realized what I must have lost
The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow
With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun
With all its fun and joy - what have I done!
Too late to cry, too late to pray, "Don't go away!"
It was when you left without saying a word
I've realized what I must have lost
The whole world of ours was blown into pieces with a single blow
With all its friendly stars and the shiny sun
With all its fun and joy - what have I done!
Too late to cry, too late to pray, "Don't go away!"
