GAINSBOURG, THE EVOKER LYRICS

Gainsbourg, the Evoker
There´s an old young man in Paris, singin´each word with the finest touch of every piano chord, nevermind his cigarrette hoard, couldn´t make it by coloring a board, but either way, provocation was his way, through night and through day, regardless of what you had to say, Serge, you keep on bringin´ light, regardless of our fight, you will always shine like you did at the peak of your discreet, provocative life, happy and next thing you know, you were in a plight
You were a man who could have cared less about a ban, invented your own unique style, way ahead of society´s repeatin´ can, all you wanted was to be remembered for your paintings in acryle, and, as such i will forever remember your tribulation and trial
You lit a git, little by little bit, but for this boxy world you were unfit, both the world and your heart took a hit, but we´ll never forget your musical beat, it was a delightful hearin´ treat, your beloved Jane now joins you in your state of sanity amongst insane
You left us, way too soon, so many songs yet to bloom, France ´n´ the world were in a state of Gloom,still, we won´t forget how your talent was given, not lent, how no one else like you has been free to run his set, from Montparnasse to the MET, oh Serge, you provoked, but genius is yours to invoke
You lit a git, little by little bit, but for this boxy world you truly were unfit, both the world and your heart took a massive heat, but i´ll remember your musical beat, a delightful hearing treat, your beloved Jane now joins you in your state of sanity amongst insane
Genius, Ahead of Time, so many words, yet you could have said “they´re all mine”, whether playin´ or crackin´ jokes at dine, somewhat rude and somewhat fine, never scared to cross the line, at your passion´ you kept tryin´, you didn´t avoid dyin´ and yet ,i won´t stop cryin´, for your gift was one of one, you were just brilliant, brilliant to the bone.
