| He advanced me a seven hundred check
|
| Plus expenses, not counting another five hundred
|
| In casino chips
|
| My last train was late
|
| So I decided to take the case
|
| platinum blonde
|
| I was an unlicensed fly-sniffer
|
| Burned in the secret for possession
|
| Extortion and upskirts
|
| I was, like a good ex-police officer
|
| At the salary of a big fish, who knew
|
| cover their backs
|
| No bitch is worth that money
|
| I thought, as he put my hat down
|
| New in the wardrobe
|
| He sang regular, but he moved
|
| The ass, with a swing, that melted
|
| The ice in the glasses
|
| When he finally came out of the booth
|
| I felt the bells of the past
|
| They chimed in duel
|
| The last time I heard that melody
|
| I was prescribed three years and one day
|
| Plus VAT, in the Model
|
| To play Black Jack and be a tough
|
| Being short of cash
|
| It's the same as pretending to envy
|
| With a lantern, to the future
|
| Not by chance
|
| They fear me in the casinos
|
| They gave me ten grand for the case
|
| platinum blonde
|
| The kisses that bad girls give you
|
| They are more expensive when they are given away
|
| And they smell like failure
|
| But the croupier dealt me good cards
|
| And the platinum blonde was brunette
|
| And the case was a big case
|
| In a bistro, in the port of Marseille
|
| We were delayed, between bottles
|
| And a bottle of Port:
|
| "Those who put a price on your head
|
| -I told him exaggerating his beauty-
|
| They had fallen short »
|
| I might be falling in love
|
| Because, before coffee, I changed sides
|
| Of hotel and of hat
|
| My old man put a room, with two beds
|
| Pretending the lady was a lady
|
| And her son hers a gentleman
|
| Not even, gentlemen of the jury
|
| I suffer, as my lawyer alleges
|
| Transient madness
|
| I shot the heart that I wanted
|
| With premeditation, treachery
|
| And more pain than glory
|
| To play Black Jack and be a tough
|
| Being short of cash
|
| It's the same as pretending to envy
|
| With a lantern, to the future
|
| Not by chance
|
| They fear me in the casinos
|
| Ten grand for following in his footsteps
|
| platinum blonde
|
| To be someone again, in the environment
|
| I needed a couple of good clients
|
| Something for my vices and a decent office
|
| They don't feed the whores in Chinatown
|
| Every Monday I don't get the case
|
| platinum blonde
|
| To not be a corpse, on the tram
|
| Apart from having brown grammar
|
| You have to know that skirts are a lottery;
|
| With gaslight my Aladdin lamp shone...
|
| They used to give me ten grand
|
| For the case of the platinum blonde |
