about
Stephanie Delisee is a long-time online friend that I've never met in the physical world, but that hasn't stopped us from doing a few musical collaborations. She's well experienced at performing and recording, and sent her vocal track via email. Steph is a very talented photographer, live concert shots seem to be her specialty. I'm very pleased to have recorded with her again. Merci, mon ami!
lyrics
There’s a man with a gun, standing on a ledge
He’ll either shoot himself or jump, it’s all the same in the end
Fifteen hundred channels on my two-way wrist TV
I can see that anytime, it’s nothing to me
Mocha frappe chino at a table on the street
Paris in the springtime, the world at my feet
Nothing wrong, my signal strong, the whole world on parade
Don’t stare at my laptop, I’m not that kind of babe
You’ve got a problem, don’t try to solve it with me (2x)
Unsurpassed my car is fast, I drive it like the wind
I know it’s not the autobahn, but that’s the mood I’m in
City streets so crowded, I need a little space
S'est levé, look at me, nothing out of place.
Ankles crossed, my lips are glossed, I show a little skin
Funny boy in corduroy, a hipster wanders in
Wants to buy me something, gestures with a tray
Coq au vin, escargot, please just go away.
You’ve got a problem, don’t try to solve it with me (3x)
Every night I’m dancing at the disco drinking gin
Well, dance yourself away from me, or take it on the chin
You don’t like my corduroy, you won’t sit with me
Oh, I like you very much, I’d like it if you’d leave.
Battle of the sexes? This is getting trite
But you’re the one who’s fighting, now please just say goodnight
You don’t recognize me? I was a pop star once
Well color me impressed, now run you’ll miss your bus.
I’ve enjoyed our conversation, thank you for your time
Honestly, don’t mention it, the pleasure was all mine
Do I detect sincerity, or is it just a ploy?
I’m beginning to appreciate you, you’re a clever boy.
Love ya, babe
Je t'aime
