Poisson d'avril


Words: Pascal Jacquemin and Monterastelli
Music: Alain Bashung

Short sample: http://swisscharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Alain+Bashung&titel=Poisson+d%27avril&cat=s

Poisson d'avril means an April Fool's day joke in French. Literally, it is "April fish" which comes from the children's game of pinning a paper fish to back of someone's shirt...


Nothing ever goes out of my shoes
When I'm ready for love
Nothing's ever planned when I decide
Come on
Eddy's in love

Sally double-locked my soul
Help you God
Now now now

You bet we eat together
I'm just cleaning clouds
Wild people have reaction
On wedding day

Even though a plane may never land
We are commonly down
Nothing ever goes out of my shoes
Come on
Ladies in gown

Nothing in this precious tale
Can hold you
Now now now

You bet we bet together
I'm just cleaning clowns
No one lives without a secret
On wedding day

No one ever goes out of my shoes
Come on
Sally, come on
No one ever dreams instead of us
Come on 
Sally, come on

Nothing in this precious tale
Can hold you
Now now now

You bet we bet together
I'm just cleaning clowns
Wild people have reaction
On wedding day

Nothing ever goes out of my shoes
When I'm ready for love
Nothing's ever planned when I decide
Come on
Eddy's in love

Sally double-locked my soul
Help you God
Now now now
