Jardin du Luxembourg

Five Foot Nine


Jardin du Luxembourg
Under the April blossoms
Under the red skyrockets
Under the bells of St Faubourg

Jardin du Tuileries; shared a flat there
Jardin du Tuileries for a year
I saw a red skyrocket light up the Bastille
Goddamn my luck some time
Pardon my French. Pardon my French.

Jardin du Luxembourg
Under the Gothic statues
Under the red skyrockets
Under the bells of St Faubourg
Still hear the bells ring

Then we took a strange turn
I couldnt read the signs
I didnt read it rightno.

Jardin du Luxembourg, Ill take a cab there.
Jardin du Luxembourg, for old times sake.
Under the aging statues, I collect dust.
God damn my luck some time
Pardon My French. Pardon my French.

Jardin du Luxembourg
Under the aging statues
Under the red skyrockets
Under the bells of St Faubourg
I hear the bells and they go
DING DONG DING DONG
