LA FILLE FRANCAISE
Music & Lyrics by Christy

She walked by
The sunlight streaming
And we talked for hours lost like lovers do

Soft furnishings
And shuttered mornings
Oh we hid from days and friends there that we knew

And it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their game
So i quickly slipped from view

They sipped red wine
'Tween their frequent name dropping
We lunched at Juan-les-Pines
And took drinks at Nice Fleur Marché

They talked and they yawned
About their frequent vacations
And they smiled when I said
I'd never left the European stage

But it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i wasn't there to be their friend
I was there just to entertain

Topless girls
And cold salt showers
From the English prom we mocked the grey UK

Sipped Martini's
After nightly meals
Taken in umbrella'd alleys
That stank of dog night day

But it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their game
So i quickly slipped from view

Yeah it felt so good as she called my name
But all her French friends laughed when i said their names
Cause i wasn't there to be their friend
I was there just to entertain

Yeah it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their games
So i quickly slipped from view
