Artist/Band: Nana Mouskouri
Lyrics for Song: Attic Toys
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri



(Vallee / Kretzmer)



Rocking chairs and rocking horses

Teddy bears and flying saucers

Brik-a-brak and broken souvenirs

Christmas lights and covered wagons

Paper kites and Chinese dragons

Mingle in the shadows of the years



Attic toys in great profusion

Lying here in strange confusion

Cut into the memory like a knife

Smiling dolls and faded cotton

Dusty world I had forgotten

Tell again the story of my life

Smiling dolls and faded cotton

Dusty world I had forgotten

Tells again the story of my life



Gone the time and dead the season

Now I ask the rhyme and reason

Why my little world got left behind

Here among this helter skelter

Taking stock and taking shelter

I may find a moments peace of mind



Attic toys in great profusion

Vanished hopes and disillusions

Peel away the memories like a knife

Broken dreams and paradoxes

Side by side in cardboard boxes

Recollect the story of my life

Broken dreams and paradoxes

Jungle up in cardboard boxes

Tell again the story of my life



Attic toys of pain and pleasure

Lying here like buried treasure

Measure up the story of my life


Attic Toys

Nana Mouskouri's "Attic Toys" stands as a poignant example of her ability to blend classical vocal technique with contemporary pop sensibilities. Recorded in the Netherlands, the track exemplifies her signature style, characterized by a warm, emotive tone that bridges the gap between traditional art song and modern balladry. While often associated with her broader discography of romantic and nostalgic themes, this recording highlights her versatility in adapting her voice to diverse musical arrangements. The song reflects a period where Mouskouri actively engaged with international audiences, showcasing her enduring appeal across genres. It serves as a testament to her career's capacity to maintain artistic integrity while embracing new musical landscapes, capturing the universal sentiment of childhood memories and lost innocence through her distinctive vocal delivery.
