Versailles Lyrics

Cover art for Versailles lyrics by Pinback

Versallies was a huge, lavish castle that King Louise the XIV built that nearly put France in debt. Boswell is right. I think this is about how King Louis the XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette tried to escape off to Austria when the french people revolted and kept them captive.

'the time took us, left us there you found him on the hillsides of versailles he asked the moon to come back to our side'

Louis and Marie were caught when they tried to escape.
