Candidate |
| I’ll make you a deal, like any other candidate |
| We’ll pretend we’re walking home 'cause your future’s at stake |
| My set is amazing, it even smells like a street |
| There’s a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend |
| Someone scrawled on the walls «I smell the blood of Les Tricoteuses» |
| Who wrote up scandals in other bars |
| I’m having so much fun with the poisonous people |
| Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up |
| Some make you sing and some make you scream |
| One makes you wish that you’d never been seen |
| But there’s a shop on the corner that’s selling papier-mâché |
| Making bullet-proof faces; |
| Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay |
| If you want it, boys, get it here, thing |
| So you scream out of line: |
| «I want you! |
| I need you! |
| Anyone out there? |
| Any time?» |
| Tres butch little number whines «Hey dirty, I want you |
| When it’s good, it’s really good, and when it’s bad I go to pieces» |
| If you want it, boys, get it here, thing |
| Well, on the street where you live |
| I could not hold up my head |
| For I gave all I have in another bed |
| On another floor, in the back of a car |
| In the cellar of a church with the door ajar |
| Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind |
| But we can’t stop trying 'til we break up our minds |
| 'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights |
| Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright |
| I guess we could cruise down one more time |
| With you by my side, it should be fine |
| We’ll buy some drugs and watch a band |
| Then jump in the river holding hands |
