Biography

Alain Bashung (born 1 December 1947, died 14 March 2009) was a French singer, songwriter and actor. His first single came out at the age of 19, in 1966, was a flop. Then he became arranger for the major RCA and worked with the french singer [a373556]. He met the producer [a=Andy Scott] and the lyricist [a=Boris Bergman] in 1977. His first LP with this duet was a flop, but Bashung did go on with this team. In 1980, he landed his first hit with the single "Gaby" and the success began. He did collaborate with a lot of different musicians and explored two main ways in music : one experimental, mostly during the eighties, and the second, more rock and roll roots oriented. But the hallmark of genius with Bashung lies in the lyrics of his songs : a surreal cascade built on plays on words, that creates a full personal alchemy.

LYRICS

A l'arrière des berlines
On devine
Des monarques et leurs figurines
Juste une paire de demi-dieux
Livrés à eux
Ils font des petits
Ils font des envieux
À l'arrière des dauphines
Je suis le roi des scélérats
A qui sourit la vie
Marcher sur l'eau
Éviter les péages
Jamais souffrir
Juste faire hennir
Les chevaux du plaisir
Osez, osez Joséphine
Osez, osez Joséphine
Plus rien ne s'oppose à la nuit
Rien ne justifie
Usez vos souliers
Usez l'usurier
Soyez ma muse
Et que ne durent que les moments doux
Durent que les moments doux
Et que ne durent que les moments doux
Osez, osez Joséphine
Osez, osez Joséphine
Plus rien ne s'oppose à la nuit
Rien ne justifie
