A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Live, BBC Radio 1 In Concert, Golders Green Hippodrome, 12 March 1977

Two, three, four

Skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be

One of 16 vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

So it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Thank you very much, good night
