lyrics

I'm in love with a girl that doesn't exist (God knows why ...)
A self inflicted Nemesis
Tick-tock, tick-tick-a-tock
What the f... went wrong ?
Tick-tock, turn back the clock
Take me back to Laverstock

You were impossible to get on with
She was wonderful

I'm in love with a girl and boy I miss ... (the pair of you)
The velvet glove and iron fist
Oh my convertible, what a sight
How you handle and vibrate
In my convertible, snug and tight
Revving up as you dilate
Can't keep my wheels on the road
One in the rough and one in the grass
Can't keep my hands on the wheel
One on your muff and one up ... It was an accident !

A slow motion car crash playing out over millions of years
What happened ?
Definitely a rabbit ...

I'm in love with a girl that I can't resist (She knows why)
My musicola lemon twist
Slow, slow, quick-quick, slow
What the f... that song ?
Tick-tock, mental block
Time for your electric shock ... Monsieur George ?

You were wonderful to get on with ...
She was impossible

I'm in love with a girl who was always pissed (way before me)
I hope she's got me round her wrist
The girl I can't fathom, the fish I can't land
My mermaid, things got out of hand

I say, do you believe in love at first sight ?
No ... Do you ?
No ... That's why I'd like to stay a little while if I may

I'm in love with a ghost if you get my gist (volatile)
My free-range golden medalist
Soft, silk kimono
F... I knew it all along
I can't let go, can't let go
Take me back where I belong

... but I think you'll find a few of us who still really care about what is happening in the ... euh ... "Haute monde"
Ah, indubitably Madame
Oh, what beautiful French you speak Ruggles

Heads or tails dear ?
We're two sides of the same coin
There's something fishy about the whole thing ... Tell me about it !

We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don't please ...

Anglo-French composer, songwriter and singer.

Using film references, humour, nostalgia and stories with a twist as building blocks, my music is the by-product of a life spent swinging from soundtracks to pop, classical to EDM, jazz to new-wave
