In The Absence Of The Parisienne
I was thirteen and had to be seen in black on black
Worn with negative feelings
Je suis francais
And then downstairs to a Paris underground
I get a kick out of you
Oh baby, baby!
You don't drive a big fast car
You don't look like a movie start
Oh baby, oh baby!
But I get a kick out of you
Love is just a drag
You don't drive a big fast car
You don't look like a movie star
This letter in your sweet hands
You can drop into the Saine
And watch those words all over again
Oh baby, staining the river Saine
Blood red, the colour of my heart
Love is a drag
Love is just a drag
