When The Lights Go Out All Over Europe

(album: Promenade - 1994)

Twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue
We've got an hour or two
Before it's time to go
Let's go see a movie show

Jeanne can't choose
Between the two
'Cause Jules is hip
And Jim is cool
And so they live together
With the trees and birds
And little girls
Who play upon
Poor Jean-Claude's nerves
Till finally
He strokes Claire's knee
And when she asks
Of his ambition
Jean-Pierre replies
"My mission
Is to become eternal
And to die..."
Heaven knows the reason why...

When the lights go out
All over Europe
I forget about old Hollywood
'Cause Doris Day could never
Make me cheer up
Quite the way those French girls always could

[Jean Seberg:] Et puisque je suis mechante avec toi c'est la preuve que je ne suis pas amoureuse de toi
[Jean Paul Belmondo:] On dit qu'il n'y a pas d'amour heureux
[Jean Seberg:] Si je t'aimais... oh c'est trop complicé
[Jean Paul Belmondo:] Au contraire, il n'y a pas d'amour malheureux
[Jean Seberg:] Je veux que les gens s'occupant pas de moi et puis je suis independente... Peut etre que tu m'aimes?
[Jean Paul Belmondo:] C'est ce que lu crois, mais tu ne l'ai pas
[Jean Seberg:] C'est pour ca que je t'ai denonce
[Jean Paul Belmondo:] Je te suis superieur
[Jean Seberg:] Maintenant tu es force de partir
[Jean Paul Belmondo:] Tu es single, c'est lamentable comme raisonnment...

When the lights go out
All over Europe
I forget about old MGM
'Cause Paramount
Was never Universal
And Warners went out
Way back when
Those lights go out
All over Europe
I forget about old Hollywood
'Cause Doris Day could never
Make me cheer up
Quite the way those French girls
Always could
