Lyrics for Song: Tanagra
Lyrics for Album: Jamais Seul [2011]
(Joseph Chedid/Mathieu Chedid/Brigitte Fontaine)
Quand tu bouges à peine, peignant tes orteils
Je vois tes dents saines briller au soleil.
Je suis hors de moi, j'aimerais te dire
Que je suis à toi, esclave ou satyre.
Je suis fou de toi, viens dans mon épaule.
Joli Tanagra, tu me fous la gaule.
Mais tu te dérobes, rivière perverse
Ton corps, sous ta robe, fuit comme une averse.
Tes brèves oeillades promettent le ciel
Mais soudain, maussade, tu replies tes ailes.
Je suis fou de toi, viens dans mon épaule.
Joli Tanagra, tu me fous la gaule.
Je sens ta toison contre mon oreille
Et puis, sans raison, l'esquif appareille.
Ah ! Maudit poison ! Damnée pousse au viol !
Funeste passion, tu me rends gogol.
Je suis fou de toi, viens dans mon épaule.
Joli Tanagra, tu me fous la gaule.
