Monsieur Lenoble

Mr. Lenoble is feeling down
Since his wife walked away
With a young artist
She met this summer
And Mr. Lenoble listens
To the melody she loved
These few notes drop by drop
Poison him forever
La-la-la…

You didn’t take your chance
My friend, my friend
You were way too confident
It’s over, it’s over
You had a wonderful wife
So lovely, so lovely
You couldn’t make her happy
Now you’re alone, she’s gone…

Mr. Lenoble reflects
He thinks about all he’s done
His intentions were good
Even if he wasn’t perfect
Maybe not the best temper
He’d blow up over nothing
But at the office, his colleagues
Thought he was a really good guy
Really good… really good… really good…

You didn’t take your chance
My friend, my friend
You were way too confident
It’s over, it’s over
You had a wonderful wife
So lovely, so lovely
You couldn’t make her happy
Now you’re alone, she’s gone…

Mr. Lenoble blows his nose
Puts on his nightshirt
Turns on the gas and lies down
Tomorrow, it’ll all be over
And Mr. Lenoble thinks
Of the one he adored
And Mr. Lenoble thinks
Of the one he adored…

You didn’t take your chance
My friend
You were way too confident
It’s over…
You had a wonderful wife
So lovely…
You couldn’t make her happy
You were way too confident…
Way too confident… way too confident
Confidence… Confidence…
