Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris movie - THE STATUE lyrics

rate me

<br>

I'd like to grab that son of Mary<br>

The one who wrote on my statue<br>

"He has lived all of his life<br>

Between honor and virtue"<br>

Me, who screwed all of my friends<br>

From dirty lie to dirty lie<br>

Me, who screwed all of my friends<br>

From New Year's Day to New Year's Day<br>

In the purest name of love<br>

How I cheated every mistress<br>

In the purest name of love<br>

How I lied with each caress<br>

That son of Mary I'd like to have him here<br>

And all you damned kids...get out of here<br>

I'd like to grab that son of Lent<br>

The one who had the nerve to boast<br>

"God calls back the ones he loves<br>

And he was the one God loves the most"<br>

Me, who only prayed to God<br>

When my teeth were killing me<br>

Me, who only prayed to God<br>

Except when I was scared of Satan<br>

Me, who even prayed to Satan<br>

Every time I was in love<br>

Me, who even prayed to Satan<br>

Whenever I was scared of God<br>

That son of Lent I'd like to have him here<br>

And all you damned kids...get out of here<br>

I'd like to grab that son-of-a-bitch<br>

The one who wrote on my statue<br>

"He died like a hero<br>

He was a soldier brave and true"<br>

Me, who went off to the war<br>

Because I was so damn bored<br>

Me, who went off to the war<br>

To make it with the German broads<br>

Me, who got killed in the war<br>

Making it with the German broads<br>

Me, who died during the war<br>

Because I couldn't help it<br>

That son-of-a-bitch, I'd like to have him here<br>

And all you damned kids...Please<br>

Please get out of here<br>

<br>
