about

Controversial artists Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin duet about the allure of being in a relationship that spits in the face of good taste.

lyrics

Decades apart
Scandal driven from the very start

Drunk, audacious swine
Passing out after too much wine

Photographed undraped
Your climaxes committed right to tape

Public enemies
Condemned, reviled far across the sea

Can you handle that my darling, oh my dear?
Cuz if you can, I know a way to freak the squares

Look how they stare, god they haven’t got a prayer

When you’re drifting, when you’re bored
I’ll be your provocateur
We’ll be heroes to the seedy
Wretched scoundrels to the pure
It may kill your reputation
But I’ll love you, tue l’amour
I’ll be your
Provocateur

Bad puns and lollipops
Concept albums donning Nazi rock

Endless affairs
A reggae rewrite of La Marseillaise

Now I’ve done it, oh the press will have my hide
But it’s more fun to have someone stick by your side

Find us naked on the floor
Beauty and provocateur
We’ve been slammed across the nation
It sure beats being ignored
Now I’ve killed your reputation
Don’t you love it?
Tue l’amour
I’ll be your
Provocateur

Now they’re breaking down our door
“Death to all provocateurs!”
Seems we finally pushed it too far
It’s the end of me for sure
Now my head is on a platter
And there’s a chopping block for yours
But I’ll be your
Provocateur
