Napoleon Says Lyrics
You know your french well
Didn\'t take any decision so far
Hit me like a freight train
Please consider my request
You do expect a Messiah
You want to be European
I would be your Bonaparte
Don\'t ever care \'bout what Napoleon says
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Look out look out look out
Don\'t get yourself excited
Calm down calm down calm down
Go get yourself a white horse
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Didn\'t take any decision so far
Hit me like a freight train
Please consider my request
You do expect a Messiah
You want to be European
I would be your Bonaparte
Don\'t ever care \'bout what Napoleon says
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Look out look out look out
Don\'t get yourself excited
Calm down calm down calm down
Go get yourself a white horse
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat

Aw man, I thought it was "Riding in a trench coat" and I thought that was awesome. Wish I could ride in a trench coat.
LOL
LOL
good song but honestly wtf is this about!?
it's about being Napoleon!! Sounds like being "like napoleon" for someone else. who loves the french and napoleon. maybe in halloween. trying to imitate him so hard keep reminding yourself "keep your hand in your trench coat, like he did!!"
It's a song about trying to impress someone so much you look ridiculous.
you want to know what it means?...
get up. and DANCE just like napoleon says ^~^ i can't help to tap my shoe, and if i got some drinks in me. fuck it. i'll get up and dance to it ^^
Does anyone else think this song sounds like "Bangin' on a Trash Can"?
This song is responsible for me buying all of Phoenix's records. I love the end.
I think it's them mocking a Francophile girlfriend, whilst also taking advantage of her thinking they're sexy because they're French.
Bingo. There is a girlfriend/sexual interest kind of person in the song: the person adressed is a foreigner who admires Europe, or more precisely, France; so, if she admires the French so much, the "lyrical me" (as one would say in Portuguese) would be her/his Napoleon.
