"But Not for Me"

Old man sunshine, listen you
Don't you tell me dreams come true
Just try it, and I'll start a riot

Beatrice Fairfax, don't you dare
Ever tell me, he will care
I'm certain, it's the final curtain

I never wanna hear
From any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you Fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me

With love to lead the way
I found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee

I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi-ho, alas! and al-
So, lack-a-day

In the original lyric, Ira Gershwin references Beatrice Fairfax, a fictional character that was a famous advice columnist in a popular radio serial. In a particular horrible version of this song, Rod Stewart changes the reference to "Oprah Winfrey."

From the session notes: "This is the session where Miles asked Monk to lay out (not play) during his (Miles) choruses. Monk, who comes to play although he had practiced the idea of laying out himself long before this session, was insulted by the request. After Miles' beautifully logical solo Milt plays a forceful declarative one as Monk comps timidly at first for him. Thelonious' solo follows and he tosses rhythmic figures around like someone bouncing a rubber ball off a wall, but drops out again as Miles re-emerges to sum up in a model solo". <<< not this tune, tho

The Sinatra version was from 1979. It was from the "Past" segment of the famously awful/glorious The Trillogy. The other two discs represented "Present" and "Future" (featuring the unforgetable "World War III.")
