Perfect Love...Gone Wrong

  • I've had a question that's been preying on my mind for some time
    I won't be wagging my tail for one good reason
    It has to be a crime

    This dog house never was the place for me,
    Runner up and second best just ain't my pedigree
    I was so happy, just the two of us
    Until this alpha male
    Turned up in the January sale

    He won't love you
    Like I love you
    It won't be long now before that puppy goes astray
    And what I like about this guy the most
    He'd be my favourite lamp post
    Devil take the hindmost

    Je sais que c'est dur, mais il faut se faire au changement, tu vois
    J'ai négligé le primordial pendant trop longtemps crois moi
    Je suis consciente, je vois bien que tu souffres, mais ça s'attenuera
    Car c'est d'un homme plus d'un chien dont j'ai besoin près de moi
    Cesse donc de grogner, mon choix est fait c'est comme ça
    N'en fait pas trop, ton attitude risque de t'éloigner de moi
    Faut que tu comprennes, puisque tu dis m'aimer tant que ça
    Désormais nous sommes trois, lui toi et moi

    It's a shaggy kind of story
    Would I tell you if I thought it was a lie?
    But when the cat's away the mouse will play,
    I wouldn't dish around here
    There's something fishy 'round here

    I howl all night and I sleep all day
    It takes more than biscuit, baby, to chase these blues away
    I've got a long enough leash
    I could almost hang myself
    It's a dogs life loving you baby
    But you love someone else
    Now he's moved by basket
    I'd like to put him in a casket
    I'll wear my best collar to his funeral

    Ta mauvaise foi, j'aimerais bien que ça s'arrête
    Me séparer de toi, aujourd'hui ça trotte dans ma tête
    Moi non, j'en peux plus, tu n'est qu'un chien, c'est trop bête
    La situation m'avait pourtant l'air d'être des plus nettes
    C'est clair, que je l'aime c'est un fait, ton egoïsme m'inquiète
    Après toutes ces soirées passées seuls en tête à tête
    Chaque chose a une fin, et c'est la fin de la fête
    Pour toi, car bientôt il n'y aura plus que lui et moi, lui et moi.

    To have found this perfect life
    And a perfect love so strong
    Well there can't be nothing worse
    Than a perfect love gone wrong

    You said I wasn't just your Christmas toy
    I'd always be your boy
    I'd be your faithful companion
    And I would follow you through every thick and thin
    Don't need nobody else
    And we don't need him Writer/s: GORDON SUMNER, STEPHANE MYLEN QUINOL
