40 Gitanes every day they look at you in that hungry way
don't take prisoners they just do what they say
no work - no rest - just play, play, play
Back in France - down Cours Mirabeau
love just comes and goes – back in France
Musk coloured shirts and dusk tight skins
you play the night and see what comes in
wide eyed creatures that come out in the dark
feed the fire and touch the spark
Back in France ....
Void of grace there's only danger here
beauty fades and disappears
the whispering mockers of love go by
they may walk but I will fly
Back in France ....

two of these songs were on a compilation called Return of the Beat Menace--Caught in the Motion and Catch Me I'm Falling. I'm pretty sure these are different versions of those songs, and it is great to hear other songs from this era. Dennis Draeger
