Scream blue murder is the same as screaming bloody murder.
A "beard" is slang for someone who is used as a cover for a gay person. Although, it might just mean facial hair in the song, I've always liked to think she means it as a "beard"
I think it's supposed to be "Je vous aime la bête" which is "I like the beast" or something like that.
It seems to be a pretty straight forward song about a man who is attached to a blow up doll named Claudine. He's quite possibly gay and likes to gamble. He's unable to make connections with "real" people so he's obsessed with his "inflatable queen".
That's my take on it anyway.
@ALou the gay/beard angle makes no sense, and I hear that line as ‘bill’, not ‘beard’. Thank you for the French line, though — that makes sense and I surely couldn’t make a transcription work in English just going by phonetics.
