Coquet Coquette Lyrics

Cover art for Coquet Coquette lyrics by of Montreal

Beautiful and pitiful should be changed to dutiful and beautiful, respectively. At least that's the way it is in the studio version.

There's a chorus in this song!

Coquet means flirtatious and coquette means flirtatious woman. But coquet can also mean a flirtatious man, which might mean this coquet-coquette is a flirtatious transgender! And then you look at the line "guy's face under your eyelids" and wonder.

I'm pretty sure the line about a guy's face isn't about a transgender person. The song is about teenage-style lust and him being very jealous, not wanting her to even think at all about another guy.

Right on about the dutiful and beautiful though

It's Kevin Barnes, it could mean a man, women, or someone completely gender queer. But given the context of the rest of the lyrics, it's probably about a woman of sorts. Something tells me Georgie Fruits won't be making an appearance this album.
