elizabeth seal - irma la douce lyrics

Loading...

[irma]
what’s the use of living?
nothing matters anymore
why this bitter feeling that i’ve never felt before?
suddenly my paris is a city full of lies
paris is a stranger in a cynical disguise

behind the g+y facade
the streets are cold and hard
the shutters locked and barred
irma la douce, no more

a neon painted face
a meaningless embrace
a love that leaves no trace
irma la douce, no more

what’s the use of memories that only bring you pain?
gone, the magic spell of weddings at la madeleine
what’s the use of praying when there’s nothing to believe?
when i build my dream world, it’s myself that i deceive

but still, he’s everywhere
the light of my despair
whose love i long to share
irma la douce, the fool
[chorus]
the fool, the fool, the fool

just suppose a miracle could bring him back again
i would light a hundred candles in la madeleine
just suppose i heard again the echo of his voice

[man]
spoken: irma… irma… irma!

[irma]
i would paint the boulevards, and paris would rejoice

the boulevards will glow
the anisette will flow
and everyone will know
irma la douce is free

the flags will be unfurled
the streamers will be hurled
and i will show the world
irma la douce is free

a million dancing feet
accordions in the street
the day the lovers meet
irma la douce will fly
the water carts on fate
the fountains pirouette
the [?] will forget
irma la douce could cry

[chorus]
the moulin rouge will turn
the courts will all adjourn
the day of his return
irma la douce will sing

[irma]
the moulin rouge will turn
the courts will all adjourn
the day of his return
irma la douce will sing

the fourteenth of july
the fireworks in the sky!
and i will hear him cry

[chorus]
irma la, irma la, irma la, irma la

[irma]
irma la douce
irma la douce, my own
