(And Now - The Waltz) C'est La Vie

UK, 19th November, 1981

Having previously tried their hands with both The Bolero and The Hokey Cokey dance steps, the band now gave us a "Waltz" beautiful Rock "Power Ballad"!

UK/European Picture Cover of "(And Now - The Waltz) C'est La Vie".


This would be  the lead single release to be taken from their forthcoming next eleventh Studio Album, "The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome" the following year, in 1983, and the song was also featured on its American counterpart album, "Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply", the year after that, in 1984.
The single reached Number 50 in the UK Singles Charts, remaining in the charts for seven weeks.


The B-Side was a live rendition of Merry Xmas Everybody (Live And Kickin') creditted to Slade And The Assorted Nutters Choir!

My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star

(And Now The Waltz)
He will never be free
Yeah, he'll always want you
He'll always need you

We lay there, your long hair was warm
The last night together, we made love until dawn
My nights on the town made you cry
Let's make love one more time, before I say goodbye

[Chorus]
C'est la vie
Ooh cherie
C'est la vie
Another time - another place - ooh
We'll be together again - you never leave me baby
Another time - another place - ooh
We'll start all over again

We talked of the fun, oh, we'd had
Remember the good  times - we remembered the bad
My two timing ways made you low
Let's make love one more time before I have to go

[Chorus]
C'est la vie
Ooh cherie
C'est la vie
He will never be free - never never
Yeah, he'll always want you - I'll always want you
He'll always need you - I'll always need you
Another time - another place - ooh
We'll be together again - yeah

Another time - another place 
We'll start all over again
C'est la vie
Ooh cherie
C'est la vie
Ooh cherie
C'est la vieeeeah!
He will never be free - he never can
Yeah, he'll always want you - I'll always want you
He'll always need you - I'll always need you
He'll always need you - I'll always want you - wouwouwouwou!
