So sentimental
Not sentimental no
Romantic not discussing it
Darling I'm down and lonely
When were the fortunate only?
I've been looking for something else
Too late too late too late she'll be late too late too late
So go slowly discourage
Distant from other interests
On your favorite weekend
Ending this love for gentlemen only
That's where the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
A Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot like a riot oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From the mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still.
Discuss, discourage
On this precious weekend
Ending this love for gentlemen only
Wealthier gentlemen only
Now that you're lonely
Too late too late too late she'll be late too late too late
So go slowly discourage
We'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not where the fortunate only
But I better be something else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
A Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot like a riot oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From the mess to the masses
Oh,
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
Time, time is your love, time is your love, yes time is your
From the mess to the masses
A Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot like a riot oh!
Discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss discourage!
Not sentimental no
Romantic not discussing it
Darling I'm down and lonely
When were the fortunate only?
I've been looking for something else
Too late too late too late she'll be late too late too late

On your favorite weekend
Ending this love for gentlemen only
That's where the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes

Think less but see it grow
Like a riot like a riot oh!
Not easily offended

Not sentimental, no!
Romantic, not disgusting yet
Darling I'm down and lonely
When were the fortunate only?
I've been looking for something else
Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel
Let's go slowly, discouraged,
Distant from other interests
On your favorite we can end it
This love's for gentlemen only
That's with the fortunate only
No I gotta be someone else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Discuss, discourage
On this precious we can end it
This love's for gentlemen only
Wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Duel it, duel it, duel it, juggle it, duel it, duel
Let's go slowly, discouraged,
We'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only
Not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes it comes it comes it comes it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a ride, like a riot, Oh!
Not easily offended
Know how to let it go
From a mess to the masses
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
Time, time to show it up, time show it up, that's time to show it up
Time, time to show it up, time show it up, that's time to show it up
From a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot oh!
discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss, discuss, discourage!
so its talking about how fans get crazy when they see a performer that they love
I find it hard to believe nobody here has considered Franz Liszt love with Princess Carolyne.
I think this is simply a song of loving someone and not being able to be together because of the "WORLD" ways, in this situation because of society nobles not allowing a marriage of love. I think it is an uplifting song too, while we can't be together, we live, we move on, we grow, we burn the pictures, we know what happened- happened, WE DO IT! Let’s go slowly, discouraged but its not a song about one person leaving the other because the love was gone. Its a song about hope to those that can and can't live with the love of their life. For those that are in love, its a song of joy knowing that it could be done. And to those who can't marry its a song to grow. I don't think it s a song about breaking up.
I did some research and Franz was suppose to get married:
It was planned that the couple would marry in Rome, on October 22, 1861, Liszt's 50th birthday. Liszt having arrived in Rome on October 21, 1861, the Princess nevertheless declined, by the late evening, to marry him. It appears that both her previous husband and the Tsar of Russia had managed to quash permission for the marriage at the Vatican. The Russian government also impounded her several estates in the Polish Ukraine, which made her later marriage to anybody unfeasible.
Also- Carolyne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein (February 8, 1819 – March 9, 1887[1]) was a Polish noblewoman who pursued a 40-year liaison/relationship with Franz Liszt.
This makes sense of the words...
*** "This love’s for gentlemen only, That’s with the fortunate only" So who can get divorced in those times "Gentlemen Only" he was blocked to marry his true love. I think that's what the lyrics mean.
***"Now I gotta be someone else" - Franz after not being able to marry went to the church. Liszt afterwards announced that he would retreat to a solitary living. He found it at the monastery He became increasingly plagued by feelings of desolation, despair and preoccupation with death—feelings which he expressed in his works from this period. As he told Lina Ramann, "I carry a deep sadness of the heart which must now and then break out in sound."
The opening verses we see him neurotically fighting himself to exteriorize his feelings as little as possible. He's trying to be someone else. This love's for gentleman's only. He must remain as calm and contained as he can. Think the cold parade of nightclub narcissism.
In the chorus he finally explodes and demands himself and the people in the room to let go and show their real feelings.
