Reconnez Cherie - The Refreshments

Reconnez Cherie

On a convenient seat by the lavatories

In the sodium glare

We used to wait for the bus in a passionate clutch

And go as far as we dared

Do you remember

When I passed my driving test

Took you to the pictures

Forget the rest

Do you remember

All those nights in my Zodiac

Playing with your dress

Underneath your Pac-a-Mac

Reconnez Cherie

Quand nous avons vive en ecstasy Then a voice from afar in the back of my car

whispered 'Gay Paris' And looking ever so French the bohemian dream

You said 'bonjour mon ami'

Do you remember

When I moved into my studio flat Hot sticky nights

In the summertime in bedsitland

Do you remember

When you sold your paintings in the gallery

And they said 'mais oui ce soir, 'C'est la vie c’est le tricolor'

Reconnez Cherie

Quand nous avons vive en ecstasy
