Emerald, Caro - Excuse My French Lyrics






I don't know what you must be on
You walked in like the Aga Khan
Did you fly in on a jet?
Win a million dollar bet?
So let me get my good shoes on

I wanna follow in the same old steps
Where you waltz around like you're the best
Where your garden blooms in May
But it's snowing every day
'Cause you have everything you want

You must be
The Houdini in my life
But you can't see
I could never be your wife

'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench
That falls for your lines
I'm not on the fence
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wrench
I know my words won't fail me
Please excuse my French
Pardonne-moi

Today you think you're Errol Flynn
Sharing stories where you think you've been
Your style must be cramped, without a passport stamp
Can't you see the twister that you're in
Lie down inside a sea of words
You're going under, now you won't get hurt
So just give it a rest, this time your more is less
You're going solo in this dream

You must be
The Houdini in my life
But you can't see
I could never be your wife

'Cause I'm still a lady
No, I'm not some wench
That falls for your lines
I'm not on the fence
Your routine is fading, boy
I could use a wrench
I know my words won't fail me
Please excuse my French
Pardonne-moi

  13. J.... D....

    When a singer has such a beautiful voice, such a complete range of musical resources, such a perfect sense of pace and style, it’s a sin to bury it with that huge and intrusive instrumental company. If this recording had a better balance between voice and bass, drums etc., I think that it would sound much better.

    J.... D....

    I don’t know what you must be on
    You walked in like Edgar con
    Did you fly in on a jet
    Win a million dollar bet
    So let me get my good shoes on
    I wanna follow in the same old steps
    Where you waltz around like you’re the best
    Where you garden blooms in May
    But it snowing every day
    ‘Cause you have everything you want

    You must be
    The Houdini in my life
    But you can’t see
    I could never be your wife
    ‘Cause I’m still a lady
    No, I’m not some witch
    That postponed your lines
    I’m not on the best
    You’re Houdini in the state and boy
    I can’t use a wretch
    I know my words won’t tell me
    Please excuse my French
    (Pardonnez moi)

    Today you think you’re Erol Flynn
    Sharing stories where you think you’ve been
    Your style must be grand, without a passport stamp
    Can’t you see the twister that you’re in
    Lie down inside a sea of words
    You’re going under, now you won’t get hurt
    So just give it a rest, this time your more is less

  58. C.... R....

    Saw her at Nottingham last Saturday. She's a brilliant performer better live. Go see her

    C.... R....

    I think the same, she has SOMETHING . Her style, her out-look, her fingers follow guitar rytmus - but the best is her voice. I love her at all.

  59. S.... S....

    Play this in 1.25 speed, much better :D

    S.... S....

    If there was a 1.15 speed, it would be perfect

    S.... S....

    personally i'm digging it at .75

    S.... S....

    Not at all you ignorant

    S.... S....

    Much more in her style at 1.25. Thanks

    Lyrics?

    P.... ....

    @Riccardo Ratti
    I'm going to break things down to their relative parts for you.  Then I want you to substitute your lyrics, and look at the rhythm, and how it relates to that particular part.

    ‘Cause I’m still a lady
    No, I’m not some wench

    That postponed your lines
    I’m not on the fence

    Your routine is fading, boy
    I could use a wrench

    I know my words won’t fail me
    Please excuse my French

    Looking at the rhyming scheme, I think it should be bench, but fence is what makes sense, since she's not debating.

    P.... ....

    @Riccardo Ratti
    I have yet to hear any woman refer to herself as "just" a lady.  A lady has class.  A wench is "just" a woman.
    You also need to listen to the phrasing, because that affects context too.

    P.... ....

    +Ansein John Hans is correct in this case. She says"I am not some wench that falls for your lines"

    P.... ....

    uhhh no it's "falls for your lines" as that means she's not going to be fooled by his words. GRANTED this is like a year old comment threat, oopsies

    P.... ....

    Pig_catapult it it's essentially "Fuck you, moneybags."

  67. M.... C....

    I'm getting inspired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. L.... P....

    Christ, I love this.

  69. s.... ....

    مرحبا
