I'm in love with Witold Gombrowicz That sombre Polish man I journey to the end of night with Louis F. Celine But when I'm tired of reading novels by melancholy authors I bounce on an enormous trampoline
'Pornographia', 'Ferdydurke', the Polish avant garde I find Schšnberg's 'Verklarte Nacht' the loveliest thing I've heard But when I've lost my taste for the highest and the best I bounce, I bounce, I bounce with zest
I'm very fond of Karlheinz Stockhausen 'Musique Concrete' excites me Luciano Berio inflames my very being But when I've left behind my passion for serial composition I bite at an enormous tangerine
Giacomo Leopardi, Stephane MallarmŽ Diaghilev and Rilke, Lou Andreas Salome But when I've lost my taste for the highest and the best I bite, I bite, I bite with zest
I'm in love with Frederic Chopin and Isabelle Adjani I play Charlotte Gainsbourg, Bambou and Jane Birkin at my party But when the radiant night is over and the sun begins to shine I kiss the simple lover who is mine
'Pornographia', 'Ferdydurke', the Polish avant garde I find Schšnberg's 'Verklarte Nacht' the loveliest thing I've heard But when I've lost my taste for the highest and the best I kiss, I kiss, I kiss with zest
Giacomo Leopardi, Stephane MallarmŽ Diaghilev and Rilke, Lou Andreas Salome But when I've lost my taste for the highest and the best I laugh, I live, I love with the best
