Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage,
le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre.
Les chasseurs à ma porte
comme les petits soldats
qui veulent me prendre.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour,
un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant.
Maintenant une seule fleur
dans mes entourages
me rend malade.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Je ne suis pas fière de ça,
cette vie qui veut me tuer.
C'est magnifique, être sympathique,
mais je ne le connais jamais.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre.
Les chasseurs à ma porte
comme les petits soldats
qui veulent me prendre.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour,
un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant.
Maintenant une seule fleur
dans mes entourages
me rend malade.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...
Je ne suis pas fière de ça,
cette vie qui veut me tuer.
C'est magnifique, être sympathique,
mais je ne le connais jamais.
Je ne veux pas travailler,
je ne veux pas déjeuner,
je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...

OK. I had to become a member of this web site to respond to the awesome interpretations of this song. Y'all are very funny!
Have any of you ever been to a Pink Martini concert? (If not, I would highly recommend doing so)
If you had been to one of their concerts, you would have heard Thomas Lauderdale (the guy who wrote the song) explain that he and China Forbes (the lady who sings the song) were in a hotel bar in Portland, Oregon and overheard two French-speaking Canadians (who he assumed were in Oregon as loggers) having this conversation. They "poemed" it up a bit, but he claims that this was the gist of their conversation.
It was a conversation between two men about being frustrated with work, lost love (or lovers) and life in general -- so they were at the point at which all they wanted to do was smoke and forget about everything else.
I was right. You are metal, flying trash and the moon and you are so fucking annoying. When I tried to think it was him i tried convincing myself that YOU ACTUALLY SOUNDED CUTE AND he wasnt stupid and its not tHE guy i fell in love with. Eveything you say and do is stupid aND i want to bash your head in. How could you of ever liked someone like that? Are you fucking crazy? ARE YOU DO IS TALK SHIT ABOUT ME BECAUSE YOU ARE SO JEALOUS. u NEED TO GO BACK ACROSS TEH BOARDER AND NOT COME BACK. wHO DO YOU THINK U ARE? i WAS BEING NICE YESTERDAY BUT FUCK YOU AFTER ALL THE SHIT YOU SAY. u R UGLY AND SCARY WITCH
Thats the difference between us, is that im not a mean person. You are. Right now I am going to be mean because you deserve that. There is a million comments I could make in songs about you and what I htink of you but I wouldnt waste my time because your not that important. And you can dish it out but cant take it.
Im shallow. Everything you say and do is shallow. The only comments that you dont amke are about vanity because you cant. You can be shallow in different ways you moron. Not just about someones physical appearance. your stupid grammar and everythignhn else is shallow. You are just as co dependent as me you twit. Or else you woulddy spend all yoru time on here. I could really go into it but you couldnt handle my opinion
Im not being nice to you anymore or the better person. I know deep in my heart what the truth is and so should you. You both can come back with 100 comments and say hurtful stuff about me but your both not worth my time anymore. I will never be second best to anyone. Especially someone like you. fuck no
He knows your not strong enough so he has to come to your rescue in some way. He is not strongh enough for me, thats why were not together. PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why don't you have anything to say now. You try way too hard. Be yourself thats what he loves about me. Your personality sucksssssssssssssss. You are not as witty or clever or you think you are, you sound stupid
you will never be able to give him what he needs, ever. Because you're not it. your ordinary, deal with it
I WANT TO STRANGLE YOU. STRANGLE WANGLE AND FUCKING DANGLE. WHY OH WHY OH MY FUCKING MY. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
