about

Written while waking up from a dream about the movie House of Pleasures.

lyrics

Like an imitation Bardot
She’s been putting on quite a show
Climbing out of someone’s Peugeot
Her lips are black with bordeaux

Catching any wandering eye
She’s the sacred heart of Pigalle
Go and ask her out don’t be shy
These are the things you can buy

Belles fesses, bon mess
Les cieux dans ses cuisses
Cheveux longs, tous blonds
Come and claim your piece

Cigarettes and bathtubs of sin
Aren’t very good for the skin
Anyone can tell where she’s been
Just count the lines of chagrin

Jouée, ridée,
La taille mois petite
Trop de hanche, peau d’orange
C'est la cellulite

La, la, la...

A woman doesn’t age like a wine
Mais la petite mort is just fine
It can be victimless crime
Pick up the suicide line

Belle voix, fille de joie
Est au téléphone
Parlotte, sans culottes
Still gets them undone
