Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Songs That We Sing lyrics

I saw somebody who reminded me of you

Before you got afraid

I wish that you could have stayed that way

I saw a little girl, I stopped and smiled at her

She screamed and ran away

It happens to me more and more these days

And these songs that you sing,

Do they mean anything to the people you're singing them to

People like you

I saw a photograph :

a woman in a bath of hundred-dollar bills

If the cold doesn't kill her money will

I read a magazine,

it said by seventeen your life is at an end

I'm dead and I'm perfectly content

And these songs that I sing,

Do they mean anything to the people I'm singing them to

People like you

And these songs that we sing,

Do they mean anything to the people we're singing them to

Tonight they do
