Pastoral Division - Beauty Queen
from #14 Wecord - Cool As Duck (free digital sampler) by WeWant2Wecord
about
Une soirée entre amis. L'un de nous croise une de ses ex du lycée. Quelques années seulement ont passé et celle qui attirait tous les regards est aujourd'hui méconnaissable. Ce texte parle du temps qui passe...
Au départ, elle s'appelait "What Life did". C'était un titre folk écrit en anglais et enregistré par François. On ne savait pas trop si on l'utiliserait pour Pastoral Division. Après quelques arrangements, on en a finalement fait deux versions: une en français (qui apparaît sur notre album) et cette version anglaise (dont le titre est devenu Beauty Queen).

lyrics
___________________________________________________________
I know you think I'm just a fool, I am too corny, I'm not cool
I can't even pretend to be on your side watching the moon
Oh girl, I'm not a gentleman, I have no class and no charm
But I'm pretty sure you would be mad of me if only you...
When we were young, I could have killed, oh yes I swear, I could have killed
I can't list what I would have done for you Jenny, you were my love
You're no longer a beauty queen, your skin is gray and you're so fat
But I know your heart and mine are still the same, oh… yes I know
You didn't need to make up for what love did to your face
You didn't need to veil what life did to your face (x2)
I know you think I'm just a fool, I am too corny, I'm not cool
I can't even pretend to be on your side watching the moon
Oh girl, I'm not a gentleman, I have no class and no charm
But I'm pretty sure you would be mad of me if only you...
When we were young, I could have killed, oh yes I swear, I could have killed
I can't list what I would have done for you Jenny, you were my love
You're no longer a beauty queen, your skin is gray and you're so fat
But I know your heart and mine are still the same, oh… yes I know
You didn't need to make up for what love did to your face
You didn't need to veil what life did to your face (x2)
