Madeleine Peyroux Picture
Madeleine Peyroux is a jazz singer who was born in 1974 in Athens, Georgia (USA), and raised in New York City and Paris. She is noted for her vocal style, which is highly reminiscent of Billie Holiday. Madeleine also has similiar qualities of Ella Fitzgerald. Like Holiday, Peyroux was marketed as a jazz singer, when what she seems to do best is sing blues music. Though Peyroux may remind some listeners of Holiday, there are differences, and she has her own sense of phrasing and interpretation.

Always a Use Lyrics

Madeleine Peyroux

Maybe ain't no use in sayin' what I want it to be
Maybe ain't no use in playin' a tune
Maybe ain't no use in singin' my blues
But there's always a use in you and me

Maybe ain't no use in watchin' through the window
As the towns and our lives roll on by
Maybe it ain't worth all the trouble in thinkin'
But there's always use in you and I

We can make it true
We can work on it too
We can be what we want it to be
We can be together
As two or as three
'cause there's always use in you and me

Maybe ain't no use in sayin' what I want it to be
Maybe ain't no use in playin' a tune
Maybe ain't no use in singin' my blues
But there's always a use in you and me

We can make it true
We can work on it too
We can be what we want it to be
We can be together
As two or as three
'Cause there's always use in you and me

Maybe ain't no use in watchin' through the window
As the towns and our lives roll on by
Maybe it ain't worth all the trouble in thinkin'
But there's always use in you and I
