Charlotte Gainsbourg - Memoir lyrics

rate me

The city lights are beckoning

Their sirens softly call

All the fantacists and fetishist

Are preparing their ball

We've been stuck here on the doorstep

with nothing to forsake

But we might as well be anyone's to take

So, I give myself to strangers

Like I gave myself to you

The tenderness I felt has been replaced

By something new

And in the end I can vaguely hear an outline of your call

But I may as well be any words at all

Every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul

As you patiently await, I lose all sense of self-control

For you were the lighthouse to my broken boat

But I left you behind

Now I might as well

Be anyone's to find

Take my body

Take it from me

It is not worthy of your memory

I remember you undressing as I sat myself on fire

And the funeral was quick as I lay lifeless on your pyre

Well it's a kind of desperation

And it's just something you can't fake

Oh I might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers

Like I gave myself to you

But the unity I felt

Has been replaced by something new

Now I am Helen, I am Mary jane

I am Robert, I am Paul

Oh I might as well be anyone at all

Yes I might as well be anyone at all

Well I might as well be anyone at all

Oh I might as well be anyone at all
