LIFE OF AN ARTIST
Ahmad Oueini, music and french lyrics: C. Francis and Léo Ferré, 1995

I met you somewhere on the stairs

Or in a cafe oh who cares

I think by now you have forgotten

From the first date we fell in love

Or maybe i just liked your glove

Let's both pretend this is what happened

I gave you many many things

I gave you songs for me to sing

I was your muse and inspiration

And you had thought to make ends meet

At twenty years a simple feat

Life for you was a long vacation

Those end-of-months or so to speak

Would come back seven times a week

Since the day we had lived together

And every night we'd yell and shout

And my break never came about

But we would cling to one another

How can I possibly forget

Those tearful moments I regret

So many questions with no answer

There's many days ahead of you

Live them up because it's true

Beautiful days quickly weather

And now we both drifted apart

You found your niche I got my part

I know it's so sad to be parted

You may take the stereo

I'd rather keep my ol' piano

My glory days have only started

And one day like a slip-of-tongue

A clumsy girl hearing my song

Would tell you all about my stardom

You would answer with disdain

Referring to the said refrain:

"Honey please turn down the volume!"
