Favourite Song - Vincent Delerm, Neil Hannon

I was a fan and I still really am

Singing along to my favourite song

Greatest thing I’ve heard

But I didn’t get a word

J’ai écouté toutes ces chansons françaises

Je ne savais pas ce qu’est une javanaise

Un poinçonneur des lilas

Ça veut dire quoi

I studied the booklet and searched for a sign

Made up a meaning for every line

And a four letter word

L.o.v.e

J’ai écouté allongé sur mon lit

Avec le temps alors tout s'évanouit

C’est quoi un cheval fourbu

J’ai jamais su

Oh mon amour

Je t’aime toujours

Tu es partie

Mon bonheur aussi

I was a fan and I still really am

Singing along to my favourite song

Une poupée de cire

Qu’est-ce que ça voulait dire

I was a fan and I still really am

Singing along to my favorite song

Greatest thing I've heard

But I didn't get a word

I listened to all these French songs

I didn't know what a javanaise is

A puncher of the lilacs

What does it mean

I studied the booklet and searched for a sign

Made up a meaning for every line

And a four letter word

L.o.v.e

I listened lying on my bed

In time then everything fades away

What is a lazy horse

I never knew

Oh my love

I love you forever

You're gone

My happiness too

I was a fan and I still really am

Singing along to my favorite song

A wax doll

What did that mean
