À bientôt - Little Comets

This is not a choice

It is a consequence of human action

You cannot conceive my past

So just see what you think I’m after

Jump a fence and strap myself

To miles of moving metal

If it thunders over concrete

Do you think I’d do this just for fortune?

Justify your mind

Living on the French side

I’m your son or only daughter

Brought from certain slaughter

Doctor, Tinker, Tailor, Brick-layer

From Pakistan to Eritrea

Living in a cage of shit

This jungle is a real reducer

Humanise a lion

While you haven’t heard of Hamid Moussa

Justify your mind

Living on the French side

Then a boy washed

Then a boy washed

Death on your mind

He was beauty

And it made you think

«He could have been mine»

And the frame changed

Horror came

You realised

That we actually were people

And you had to be kind

Then the coin dropped

Everything got rearranged

For a minute we were human

You could spare a bit of change

It’s a fine line

In a lifetime

'Cause Paris happened

And we turned back into a swarm of flies

Justify your mind

Living on the French side

Living on the French side

Justify your mind

Living on the French side
