JAZZ IN THE RAVINE

(Du Jazz Dans Le Ravin)
Translation by Alan Chamberlain & Mick Harvey


Listen
Who's driving you or me?
It's me
So shut-up and let me be
There's a Whisky bottle in the glove-box
And Camel plains you have to tap them on the top

Listen
Listen to that baby-doll
Hear that
My favourite part of all
So turn the music up full blast
And don't worry honey I always drive this fast

And then just before Monte Carlo
It happened, well that's the final blow
The Jaguar left the bitumen
And somersaulted into a ditch with them

And while they lay there racked with pain
The radio kept on blaring out this refrain

At dawn
They'll use a spoon
To scrape up their remains
