As Is
Like a rotten dog
Looking for the wreckage of a flashier meal
Like a boring grenadier
Looking for the wreckage of a bloodier fight
Like a prostitute
Offering her penis valley to whoever wants it
Like an immaculate one
Licking the pink wreckage of a vast crucifix
Chorus Are they as they are
The fools of the four seasons?
Are they as they are
The simpletons with a thousand visions?
So-and-so took back his file
Looking for the filing vise in a fog of wine
So-and-so brushed against the abyss
Trying to walk on the water like the divine
So-and-so clenched her pen
On greasy parchment like factory smoke
So-and-so carried logs
Seeds of bullshit on a field of sable
Like a happy misery
In its big stoneware pot undermined by erosion
Like a washerwoman
Overflowing with pleasure bordering on hatching
Like a crowded boat
Of seekers of fine pearls with strapped ankles
Like a Prince of Condé
[Lyrics: Christian Dé camps, Editions Warner-Chappell 1972]
DIGNITY
At the attic of the tower
Great knight has appeared
At the attic of the tower
Lady in waiting shows his ass
But respect, dignity
Lady of honor, what do you do with it?
Oh! Respect, Grand Majesty,
My knight has it for us!
Lady of honor and knight
Have great concern for society
Lord Gonzac, handsome diplomat,
Has summoned parliament
In his long-standing state
Rejoices in the firmament.
Lord Gonzac loves his lady,
She has the right to guardianship.
But as soon as a good lady watches,
Lord rejoices some virgin.
Sitting at the foot of the biggest wood,
Preach chastity to the poor,
A man dressed like a king
With a face of humility
Returning in the evening to his castle
removes the mask of freedom
And §is a young squire
Squire of the king of fags.
[Words: Roger Lombardot, Editions Warner-Chappell 1972]
