The Songs That We Sing
Charlotte Gainsbourg

I saw somebody who

Reminded me of you

Before you got afraid

I wish that you could've stayed that way

I saw a little girl

I stopped and smiled at her

She screamed and ran away

It happens to me more and more these days

[Chorus]

And these songs that you sing

Do they mean anything

To the people you're singing them to

People like you

I saw a photograph

A woman in a bath

Of hundred dollar bills

If the cold doesn't kill her, money will

I read a magazine

That said by seventeen

Your life was at an end

I'm dead and I'm perfectly content

[Chorus: x2]
