about

There was a time, not so long ago indeed, when feelings had still a very important meaning in people’s life. Love, respect and romanticism were still values and not fictional stereotypes. I’m still living like I’m in some Byron’s or Tennison’s poem or in a comic book, but girls don’t wanna be considered like that anymore. One of the greatest portrayer of these values was the French artist Raymond Peynet. But look at his lovers on paper’s hearts. What do they have become in the end? Yet another worldwide business franchise. What a shame. Another opportunity wasted for the predominance of feelings above cynicism and greediness. Welcome to modern days. I’m particularly proud about this one again expectantly for two reasons: it was one of my turning points on my songwriter skills (in my opinion) and the fact that… it really looks like a Damon Albarn production! The song features my old Casio PT-80, appeared out of the blue from some obscure dark closed after YEARS of missing hiatus.

lyrics

Peynet Lovers
15 years old dreams spent on
Peynet Lovers
Art school and beer where meant for
Peynet Lovers
Sweeping the floor from drawings
Peynet Lovers
Chocolate boxes gone for

Make more money to stay in Paris
Rendevus, sitting on benches
while a long hair dude
right from the bandstand
playing sweet sweet tunes
enliving his violin

We’re not supposed to rush
It’s not like it’s a trap
When did we start to fight?

We can’t go on living just pretending it’s so peachy

We’re not
Peynet Lovers
Too many heartbreaks killed
Peynet Lovers
Can’t get an answer stright from
Peynet Lovers
Papercut passions now burn
Peynet Lovers
Look at us running from

Love and poems
Live touring worldwide
Dolls and scarves
Valence to Hiroshima
Craftsman said
Long live the bride we look like
newly-weds
praying in prada dresses

It’s almost Valentine
My mood it’s cold and far
Don’t feel like I could smile
Sometime I might lose my charm and I don’t wanna live like we are

Peynet Lovers
Holding eachothers like sweet
Peynet Lovers
Whimsy and shiny just like
Peynet Lovers
Welcome to real world my
Peynet Lovers
We’re going crazy for

Blueboy Covers
Walker Brothers
Gardens Clovers
Peynet Lovers”
