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

J'ai crevé l'oreiller
J'ai dû rêver trop fort
Ca m'prend les jours fériés
Quand Gisèle clape dehors
J'aurais pas dû ouvrir
À la rouquine carmélite
La mère sup' m'a vu v'nir
Dieu avait mis un kilt
Y a dû y avoir des fuites
Oh oh Vertige de l'amour

Mes circuits sont niqués
Puis y a un truc qui fait masse
L'courant peut plus passer
Non mais t'as vu c'qui passe
J'veux l'feuilleton à la place
Oh oh Vertige de l'amour

Tu t'chopes des suées à Saïgon
J'm'écris des cartes postales du front
Si ça continue j'vais m'découper
Suivant les points les pointillés eh
Oh oh Vertige de l'amour

Désir fou que rien ne chasse
L'cœur transi reste sourd
Aux cris du marchand d'glaces
Non mais t'as vu c'qui passe
J'veux l'feuilleton à la place
Oh oh Vertige de l'amour

J'ai crevé l'oreiller
J'ai dû rêver trop fort
Ca m'prend les jours fériés
Quand Gisèle clape dehors

J'ai crevé l'oreiller
J'ai dû rêver trop fort
Ca m'prend les jours fériés
Quand Gisèle clape dehors
