Marguerite Yourcenaar Songtext
von Fischer‐Z

I could easily stay in bed for years
But that was never my ambition
And keep the curtains drawn all day, all day
And watch the children′s television
Don't treat me gently
I′m still alive

Oh, Marguerite Yourcenar
In the pocket of my car
Marguerite Yourcenar
Pushed the realms of truth so far
All the pictures look the same
In the corner of the game
Marguerite Yourcenar
I know you, I know you


There's been a funeral in my head
It's taken time but I′ve recovered
I still regret those things I said, I said
But there′s no point when you're discovered
Don′t treat me gently
I'm still alive

Oh, Marguerite Yourcenar
In the pocket of my car
Marguerite Yourcenar
Pushed the realms of truth so far
All the pictures look the same
In the corner of the game
Marguerite Yourcenar
I know you, I know you

And I bought you roses
And I made you better
Pretending to love you
Turned into obsession
And I thought I′d never end up
Feeling this way
Oh-oh-oh
Don't treat me gently
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh Marguerite
Ma-Ma-Marguerite
Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Marguerite


No I never never never never never make a promise
I can′t keep
No I never never never never never make a promise
I can't keep

Oh Marguerite
Marguerite
Marguerite

Don't treat me gently
I′m alive
I′m alive
Ooooh
Marguerite

Marguerite Yourcenar
In the pocket of my car
Marguerite Yourcenar
Pushed the realms of truth so far
All the pictures look the same
In the corner of the game
Marguerite Yourcenar
I know you, I know you
I know you, I know you
I know you
I know you, Oooh
Marguerite

No I never never never never never make a promise
I can't keep
No I never never never never never make a promise
I can′t keep
Marguerite
