As a french kid born in the 2000's:

Great idea! However, I'm considering Summer Wine as a Paradise-era song even though she released it after Paradise. And Some Things Last A Long Time have been released during Honeymoon era, isn't it?

CONCEPT
 
Retrosexual, the debut album by Lady Gaga, released mid-to-late 2007
First single: Filthy Pop
 

 

Serene Queen Picture Disc concept

 

I was listening to the fabulous Rich Whores recording of Yayo today, and it set me thinking about this song -- I think this is THE definitive Lana song.
 
It ought to speak to its incredible significance that it's been the ONLY consistent returner throughout nearly the entirety of Lana's career -- it was still new and shaky at the Union Pool show in June '07, and it's since reappeared time and time again, in demos, two studio albums, and live performances ranging from the Lizzy Grant club shows to the stadiums of LA to the Moon.
 
It's got all the signature Lana lyrical hallmarks: the color blue, bad boys, dependence, trailer parks, escape, hope, drugs, daddies, and a scoop of retro Americana. And, all along, it has changed shape to reflect Lana's current obsessions and styles: it's been an acoustic folk ballad, a heavy metal head-banger, a jazzy torch song, and a spooky, otherworldly laptop demo. It could fit on the kaleidoscopic debut album and the doomy pomp of Paradise just as well as it could slide into the confessional-surf sound of NFR!. 
 
In short, it's everything Lana, with none of the era-specific quirks that restrict or date her other songs -- an absolutely gorgeous anomaly in her catalogue. It's sexy, it's sad, it's wild, it's cinematic, it's timeless. 
 
I'm in awe of Yayo. 

I am 99% sure these are the lyrics
 
Verse 1
Why you so uptight, what’s the problem?
Everybody knows you’re doing it anyway 
Why you act so uptight, when you got so much?
You could be sending that my way 
Those guys were cool, but you never give yourself away 
And I’m not a fool, no, “I love you” I said
 
Pre-chorus 1
He had all his guns and all his guns were blazing 
Put his arms around me so amazing 
He had all his guns, all his guns were blazing 
Put his arms around me so amazing 
Amazing, amazing, amazing
 
Chorus 1
He called me the serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right) 
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right)
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right now) 
I don’t start fights but I’ll stop ‘em all by any means 
Ha, ha, ha ,ha, ha, ha
 
Verse 2 
Why you so upset, what’s the problem?
Everybody knows you’re doing it anyway 
Why you act so tough when you got so much?
Going for you already 
Those guys were cool, but you never gave yourself away 
Baby its true, you I’d never betray
 
Pre-chorus 2 
He had all his guns and all his guns were blazing 
Put his arms around me so amazing 
He had all his guns, all his guns were blazing 
Put his arms around me so amazing 
Amazing, amazing, amazing
 
Chorus 2 
He called me the serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right) 
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right)
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right now) 
I don’t start fights but I’ll stop ‘em all by any means 
Ha, ha, ha ,ha, ha, ha
 
Bridge 
You think too much 
You dream too much 
You think too much 
You dream too much 
You think too much 
You dream too much
But what a beautiful mind is such
 
Pre-chorus 3
He had all his guns and all his guns were blazing, 
He never gave himself away 
He had all his guns and all his guns were blazing
I’d never betray
 
Chorus 3
He called me the serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right) 
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right)
The serene queen (come on baby if you want it you can get it right now) 
I don’t start fights but ill stop em all by any means 
Ha, ha, ha ,ha, ha, ha
