Lyrics for When You're A French Director - feat. Leos Carax

When you're a French director, it seems la vie est belle Women say "oui," they long to be, top of the bill, oh well When you're a French director, you're an auteur as well What does that mean? Every scene must be obscure as hell When you're a French director You never smile, what's the deal? Hollywood guys, with their CGI eyes smile But their films lack "le feel" When you're a French director Un C茅sar, do you really care? You can't admit it But you could fit it Right on that shelf, over there When you're a French director You know la vie est belle Women say "oui," they long to be, top of the bill, oh merde
