Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
Stephen's in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the house a resignation
Guilty faces, every one
Christine's fallen out with Lucky
Johnny's got a gun
Please Please Me's number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Now, Stephen's in the dock for spending money that was earned
By Christine, and the prosecution says that money burned
A hole in Stephen's pocket, for expensive sins he yearned
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved
In the news the suicide note
In the court an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried
Christine's pale and drawn
Please Please Me's number one
(It's a scandal! It's a scandal! Such a scandal!)
Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
Sorry about the mess
I'm guilty 'til proved innocent
In the public eye and press
The funeral's very quiet because all his friends have fled
They may be false, they may be true
They've all got better things to do
They may be false, they may be true
But nothing has been proved
Nothing
Nothing has been proved
Oh, nothing
Nothing
Oh, nothing
Nothing
Oh, nothing
Dusty Springfield, born Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (London, April 16, 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, March 2, 1999), was a British singer whose impact on the history of British fashion and popular music in the 20th century is comparable to that of Mina in Italy or Dalida in France. Mary was the second daughter of Gerard and Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, Irish immigrants settled in one of the working-class neighborhoods on the north outskirts of London. She grew up in the suburb of Ealing and already as a child earned the nickname Dusty for her tomboyish attitude. She inherited her passion for music from her maternal grandfather, who encouraged her to listen to authors like George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller. Her musical role model as a girl was Peggy Lee. In 1958 she left school and, responding to an advertisement in a newspaper, joined the Lana Sisters group. Thanks to this experience, she learned vocal harmony and stage work. In 1960 she began her solo career under the stage name Dusty Springfield, achieving immediate success with songs like "I Only Want to Be with You" and "Stay Awhile". Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she gained international fame thanks to albums like "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considered a masterpiece of British soul. Her powerful voice, her elegant style, and her ability to interpret pop, soul, and rhythm and blues songs with great sensitivity made her one of the most admired artists of her generation. Dusty Springfield was also a pioneer for women in music, challenging gender norms and achieving lasting success despite the difficulties of the music world.
