Song of the Day # 151 Serge Gainsbourg

 
It could really be any one of countless songs from Serge but this feels apt for today. A day I'm not obliged to be at my desk.
 
'I drink
In a too strong dose
I see
Pink elephants
Spiders on the shirt
Of my tuxedo
Bats on the ceiling
In the living
Room
Hey you
Tell me something
You are there
Like pink marble
As icy as the shirt
Of my tuxedo
As pale as the ceiling
In the living
Room
Love
Doesn't really mean much to me anymore
Still
These spiders on the shirt
Of my tuxedo
These bats on the ceiling
In the living
Room
Hey you
Tell me something
You are there
Like pink marble
As icy as the shirt
Of my tuxedo
As pale as the ceiling
In the living
Room.'
 
Gainsbourg
