lyrics

You can find Sue in a blue dress
Fishnet stockings over her long legs
Floatin’ red hair, and playing chess
A white skin of silk, a ponytail, a sunny face
Sue is a bookworm setting her mind at rest
Readin’ the book of Powers, the 2 brothers’s quest
Readin’ george Orwell, as well
“1984” (nineteen eighty-four) she says, hé hé hé
And You penetrate the secrets of my days
“The Time of our singing” she says, hé hé hé
And You penetrate the secrets of my days
Obviously, Sue is not a « readymade »
Obviously, she’s out of reach of the average
She’s got Stiletto heels and long legs
A blackpearl necklace, such a fancy face
Sue loves readin’ Burgess & William Blake
And she offers books to her lovers Could they ever understand
She put her life in their hands Could they ever understand
You will catch Sue at the first look
Walking the flea market for second hand books
Sue is driving her life for chess and books
Just found Borges just found Easton Ellis, thanks Bret
And she offers books to her lovers Could they ever understand
She’s got their life in her hands Could they ever understand
And Sue slaughters all her lovers They could never understand
That she ‘s got their whole life in her hands Could they ever understand
And every day ; Sue’s lovers say
What’s hot im my days , hé hé hé “American Psycho” she says, hé hé hé
What’s hot im my days , hé hé hé “Dreamtigers” she says, hé hé hé
What’s hot im my days , hé hé hé “A clockwork orange” she says, hé hé hé
What’s hot im my days , hé hé hé “1984” (nineteen eighty-four) she says, hé hé hé
Never mind the book she says…

about

Hovering somewhere between indie pop and the French chanson, the mysterious voice of Watine lays bare her dreams and her melancholy, spiriting us away into a personal universe filled with poetry.
