Jacques lamure


Jacques Lamure is a
Volunteer fireman
He longs to give his life
Saving a nice old man and his wife
When their house is
Filled with flames
Earning him honor and fame

Jacques Lamure is a foreman
At a clock factory
He wishes he were boss
So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss
Who always puts him down
When Megan Blanchard is around

He told himself last year
That when springtime was here
He would suddenly appear at Meg's door
He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand
His dear Meg to take his hand
And to be his forever more
But of course he didn't dare
And pretended not to care
About the insult or the loss
When he found out she'd married William Moss

Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
Every other Friday night
He likes the westerns best
He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest
Than that weird guy who never says a word
And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard

He realized one day that he didn't have to stay
That he could move as far away as planes could fly
He chuckled as he mused
About the people who had rused him
And how shocked and confused that they would be
When he says goodbye and never turns around
Never returns to that miserable town

Then as weeks passed he soon did find
This move had greatly improved his state of mind

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics JACQUES LAMURE of OF MONTREAL is also present in the album An introduction to of montreal (2001)

Biografia

Of Montreal is an American musical group formed in 1996 in Athens, Georgia, by visionary Kevin Barnes. The band's name comes from a relationship of Barnes with a girl from Montreal that ended abruptly. Barnes founded the band after leaving his previous group, The Gerbils. Of Montreal is known for its psychedelic and pop sound, characterized by catchy melodies, surreal lyrics, and complex arrangements. The band is closely associated with the Elephant 6 collective, an indie rock movement of the 1990s that gave rise to numerous underground artists. Throughout their career, Of Montreal has released over ten albums, including "Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?" (2007), considered one of their most influential and critically acclaimed works. Other important albums include "Satanic Panic in the Attic" (2005) and "Lousy with Sylvianbriar" (2010). Among Of Montreal's most representative songs are "The Past is a Grotesque Animal", "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse", "Ghetto Love" and "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games".
