Goodbye Toulouse Lyrics

Your streets were paved with love
Your skies were blue
Goodbye Toulouse

I walked your streets in fear
I washed your streets with tears
Toulouse

Your cafes tell a tale
Of saddened millionaires
Toulouse

A million dreams I had
A million lies I told
Toulouse

Goodbye Toulouse
Goodbye Toulouse

Paula leaned out to me
From her high balcony
Toulouse

I will return some day
So you can hear me say
Farewell

Goodbye Toulouse
Goodbye Toulouse
Goodbye Toulouse

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These lyrics by JJ Burnel are easily the classiest from their debut album. The song concerns a nuclear accident in Toulouse's future as predicted by Nostrodamas (according to the Meninblack.)

It was about 30 degrees,I was stuck in monster traffic, then some cunt drove into our van and sped off. My girlfriend misdirected me INTO the Airbus factory and I hit a speed-bump I hadn't noticed. I took off...singing Goodbye Toulouse.
