Je ne veux pas travailler

I always thought it was about a woman who had been unlucky in love... I thought the song implied that she was very popular with various men, but the one she really wanted didn't want her, or had hurt her or something. So she wants to just sit and smoke and forget about the rest of the world for a while. She has already known the smell of love (i.e. what love is) a milion times before-perhaps she's had loads of lovers, but now only one flower (so only one man)makes her ill (with love). Maybe the last verse is like her saying that she isn't a good person (maybe she pushed him away?) or that she doesn't act the way she should but she doesn't really know how, so she's shutting herself away. That's my very very loose translation and interpretation of this song :) I don't think she's a prostitute, but interesting pov...

Oh no no, this is not a prostitute It's a depressed woman. She closed herself up in her room and she's hiding from anyone knocking at her door like they were soldiers coming to take her (like with the jews). People think she should get out and get a job or at least have lunch, but she's not interested. She just wants to feel sorry for helself and smoke, and smoke, and smoke.... she can't even begin to think about falling in love again cause she's disgusted by having her heart broken. She's been crushed. She isn't proud of this behavior (isolating, not working, smoking...) and she would like to be a naturally likeable person, but she's never been that type.

I know her, I've been her.. haha. No way it's about a prostitute, lol. She just wants to smoke in solitude.
