Gauloises Blue

from It Walks Like Love by Lo Carmen

/

lyrics

In a dress of Gauloises Blue
I thought about laying a kiss on you
There was nothing more that we could do
For you now

I'm Piscean, I'm sensitive
Some likes to get, some likes to give
But it seems like time has come adrift
There's been some unholy seismic shift

I'm tireder than I've got a right to be
A little messed round by humanity
That dress lies crumpled on the floor
I can't go visit you
No more

A man like that you don't even have to try
To come up with words to wonder why
Things rarely work out like your Mama planned
Broken June roses and a tremblin' hand

Last time that I wore this dress
You said Nursie please I'm in distress
Thin white stripes shot with navy blue
There was nothing more that we could do

I see you now that awful night
Our dumb poker faces and our helpless might
Your stupid cousin was the final straw
You didn't wanna hang around no more

I don't know why I get so het up
First you can't lay down
Then you can't stand up
That's how it goes when you're all out of luck
And on your way down

The best ten bucks that I ever spent
Was on Ed McBain when you was inclement
Fuck your Gauloises Blondes and your Gitanes too
I'm going down with a Gauloises Blue
