Je suis une poupee de cire
Une poupee de son
Mon coeur est grave dans mes chansons
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Suis-je meilleure suis-je pire
Qu'une poupee de salon
Je vois la vie en rose bonbon
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Mes disques sont un miroir
Dans lequel chacun peut me voir
Je suis partout a la fois
Brisee en mille eclats de voix

Autour de moi j'entends rire
Les poupees de chiffon
Celles qui dansent sur mes chansons
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Elles se laissent seduire
Pour un oui pour un nom
L'amour n'est pas que dans les chansons
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Seule parfois je soupire
Je me dis a quoi bon
Chanter ainsi l'amour sans raison
Sans rien connaitre des garcons

Je suis qu'une poupee de cire
Qu'une poupee de son
Sous le soleil de mes cheveux blonds
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Mais un jour je vivrai mes chansons
Poupee de cire poupee de son
Sans craindre a la chaleur des garcons
Poupee de cire poupee de son

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
