Grande Affaire lyrics

Take a bus, who needs a car

We`ll eat here, take this seat near the door.

Well I`m not hungry much now, are you?

Is it ok if I share yours with you?

I`ve got no money and I think I believe that you knew.



Remember the moon on the wall, didn`t she shine?

The taste of the sheets and the feel of the wine.

Wasn`t I glad that you was mine

In the Grande Affaire?



Take a boat, maybe a plane,

Anywhere now, `cept Greece or Spain.

For sure, I know where I am,

I see canals, this is Amsterdam.

I got friends here and they know, they can say who I am.



Remember the room without any view?

Frightened of meeting someone that we knew,

No farewells or how-do-you-dos

In the Grande Affaire.



Now I`ve stayed in all the best hotels,

And there`s white coated waiters attend me,

And I look at the beautiful girls,

Do they really believe they can bend me?



Well I drive now seldom I walk.

I can speak French, but I`d rather not talk.

Which suit will I wear tonight?

Take out the brown, but in the end wear the white.

After shade stepping out stepping into the light.



Remember the moon on the wall didn`t she shine,

The year was all wrong so we sent back the wine,

Wasn`t you glad that you was mine

In the Grande Affaire?
