Reconnez Cherie

On a convenient seat by the lavatories In the sodium glare We used to wait for the bus in a passionate clutch And go as far as we dared Do you remember When I passed my driving test Took you to the pictures? Forget the rest Do you remember All those nights in my Zodiac Playing with your dress Underneath your Pac-a-Mac? Reconnez, cherie Quand nous avons vive en ecstasy And then a voice from afar in the back of my car Whispered 'gay Paris' And looking ever-so French the bohemian dream You said 'bonjour mon ami' Do you remember When I moved into my studio flat? Hot sticky nights In the summertime in bedsitland Do you remember When you sold your paintings in the gallery? And they said 'mais oui ce soir 'C'est la vie c'est le tricolor' Reconnez, cherie Quand nous avons vive en ecstasy
