Decemberists, The - The Legionnaire's Lament Lyrics |
| Submitted by: AUTO-ADD |
| Current Rating: None | I'm a Legionnaire
Camel in disrepair
Hoping for a frigidaire
To come passing by
I am on reprieve
Lacking my joie de vivre
Missing my gay Paree
In this desert dry
And I wrote my girl
Told her I would not return
I've terribly taken a turn
For the worst now, I feel
It's been a year or more
Since the shipment to this foreign shore
Fighting in a foreign war
So far away from my home
If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
Medicating in the sun
Pinch doses of laudanum
Longing for the old fecundity
Of my homeland
Curses to this mirage!
A bottle of ancient Shiraz
A smattering of distant applause
Is ringing in my poor ears
On the old left back
My baby in a charabanc
Riding up the width and length
Of the Champs-Elysee
If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
If only some rain would fall
On the houses and the boulevards
And the sidewalk bagatelles
It's like a dream
With the roar of cars
And the lolling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again |
