Charlotte Gainsbourg lyrics : "Memoir"

The city lights are beckoning
Their sirens softly call
All the fantacists and fetishist

Are preparing their ball
We've been stuck here on the doorstep
with nothing to forsake

But we might as well be anyone's to take

So, I give myself to strangers

Like I gave myself to you
The tenderness I felt has been replaced
By something new

And in the end I can vaguely hear an outline of your call
But I may as well be any words at all


Every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul
As you patiently await, I lose all sense of self-control
For you were the lighthouse to my broken boat

But I left you behind
Now I might as well
Be anyone's to find


Take my body
Take it from me

It is not worthy of your memory

I remember you undressing as I sat myself on fire

And the funeral was quick as I lay lifeless on your pyre
Well it's a kind of desperation
And it's just something you can't fake

Oh I might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers

Like I gave myself to you
But the unity I felt
Has been replaced by something new

Now I am Helen, I am Mary jane
I am Robert, I am Paul
Oh I might as well be anyone at all

Yes I might as well be anyone at all
Well I might as well be anyone at all
Oh I might as well be anyone at all
