ABOUT the LP, Good, Bad, But Beautiful:
Good, Bad but Beautiful is a 1975 album by Shirley Bassey. In the first half of the decade, Bassey recorded nine albums, with three making the top ten. Good, Bad but Beautiful, released in the autumn of 1975, spent seven weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at #13. The album reflects the formula that brought Bassey back to the charts: a combination of contemporary songs combined with her forte of standards, show tunes, and torch songs, featuring arrangements aimed squarely at the adult contemporary, or middle-of-the-road, audience. This was also achieved by modifying her backup orchestra to include electric guitars, a string and brass section with a more contemporary sound, and drumming that is more soft rock-oriented than jazz-oriented, while side two's opener, "Feel Like Makin' Love" displays a smooth jazz style.

This was Bassey's seventh album of the 1970s to make the Billboard 200, peaking at #186. It also reached #54 on the US R&B chart. In the UK the album was awarded a silver disc six weeks after it was released.

LYRICS - Living:
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I had a dream
The other day
Somehow my dream
Seems far away
A child is born
The earth had flown
No hearts were torn
We were living, living, living

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

If such a dream
Turned out to be
Not just a dream
Reality
Man would give birth
To peach on earth
And make his worth, while living
Living, living!

Repeat - La la la
Repeat - La la la
Repeat - La la la
