Talking To A Stranger Lyrics

Souvent pour j'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
Remember the panic in its delectable face, when I touched it
It was like talking to a stranger
Venetian candles penetrated its heart
It trembles like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger, no, no
Souvent pour j'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
You tasted mustard when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger
Souvent pour j'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
Souvent pour j'amuser les hommes d'equipage
And it's like talking to a stranger
You tasted mustard when she painted your face
And it was like talking to a stranger
Remember the panic in its delectable face, when you touched it
It was like talking to a stranger
And Oh Miss Jesus tell me where are your black eyes?
Your baby was talking to a stranger
You're talking to a stranger, no, no

it should be "s'amuser" not "j'amuser." it's from baudelaire: "souvent pour s'amuser les hommes d'equipage / prennent des albatros..." = "often, to entertain themselves, the men of the crew / catch albatrosses..."

The 1st. song I heard by H&C, on a promotional flexidisc in an issue of Trouser Press--the only notation on the disc was the warning, DO NOT PLAY THIS SIDE!, which, of course, was a cry for me to go ahead and play the thing!! LOL A few days later I saw the video on MTV and the connection was made. =)
