Cover art for La Folie lyrics by Stranglers, The

Good Evening Your vehicle doesn’t seem to have an occupant Could you : Would you let me in Or would that be too much trouble ? My boots won’t echo too much in your passageway No noise accompanies my parting No wasted moments for us Waiting for an uncertain reunion Because I’m mad, yes it’s madness

There once was a student Who had a great desire, as they say in books His girlfriend was so sweet that by eating her, He was able to reject all vices, repulse all males, Destroy everything beautiful Which up until then, had never been known to him Because he was mad, yes it’s madness

And if sometimes you can confess to it To whom can you reveal all - even god himself has Deserted us

Another Life, another place And of course, another story But to whom can you open your heart ? At dawn, at dusk How may crimes have been committed Against falsehods and so-called laws of the heart How many are here because of madness Because they are mad

Found that on a forum

Pretty good attempt, i'll up the stakes further

Bonsoir

Good Evening

Ton vehicule n'a pas lair davoir de passager

Your vehicle doesn't seem to have a passanger

Peux-tu: Veux tu me recevoir

Can you: Would you let me in

Sans trop te deranger?

Without disturbing you too much?

Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d`echos dans ton couloir

My boots won't echo too much in your corridor

Pas de bruit avec mes adieux

No noise accompanies my parting

Pas pour nous les moments perdus

No lost moments for us

En attendant un uncertain au-revoir

Waiting for an uncertain goodbye

...

Its not repulse all males
