The Divine Comedy

Lyrics When the lights go out all over europe The Divine Comedy

 990

When the lights go out all over europe


Twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue
Weve got an hour or two
Before its time to go
Lets go see a movie show

Jeanne cant choose
Between the two
cos jules is hip
And jim is cool
And so they live together
With the trees and birds
And little girls
Who play upon
Poor jean-claudes nerves
Till finally
He strokes claires knee
And when she asks
Of his ambition
Jean-pierre replies
My mission
Is to become eternal
And to die...
Heaven knows the reason why...

When the lights go out
All over europe
I forget about old hollywood,
cos doris day could never
Make me cheer up
Quite the way those french girls always could
Jean seberg: et puisque je suis mechante avec toi cest la preuve que je ne suis pas amoureuse de toi
Jean paul belmondo: on dit quil ny a pas damour heureux
Jean seberg: si je taimais... oh cest trop complic
Jean paul belmondo: au contraire, il ny a pas damour malheureux
Jean seberg: je veux que les gens soccupant pas de moi et puis je suis independente... peut etre que tu maimes?
Jean paul belmondo: cest ce que lu crois, mais tu ne lai pas
Jean seberg: cest pour ca que je tai denonce
Jean paul belmondo: je te suis superieur
Jean seberg: maintenant tu es force de partir
Jean paul belmondo: tu es single, cest lamentable comme raisonnment...
When the lights go out
All over europe
I forget about old mgm
cos paramount
Was never universal
And warners went out
Way back when
Those lights go out
All over europe
I forget about old hollywood,
cos doris day could never
Make me cheer up
Quite the way those french girls
Always could.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
