My first song on this forum. It was loosely inspired by a long weekend in Paris with my daughter. Hope I've done this right.

Métropolitain

I’m heading south again to the boulevard Margeurite de Rochechouart
I’m seeing an old new friend, she live so near but never go that far

Up and down the metro line, Haute cuisine and drink fine wine
Camembert demi baguette, her gallic shrug you can’t forget
It was love on Line 2...of the Métropolitain Line

She wore the t-shirt and beret, conquered me in every way
Broken English and broken heart, spit me out I have no say

Up and down the metro line, Haute cuisine and drink fine wine
Camembert and French baguette, the gallic shrug you can’t forget
It was love on Line 2…

With a sophisticated, cosmopolitan liberal mind and her psychedelic streak
Turn me inside out with all her streetwise and funky debonair chique

I’m heading south again to the boulevard Margeurite de Rochechouart
I’m seeing an old new friend, she live so near but never go that far

Up and down the metro line, Haute cuisine and drink fine wine
Camembert and French baguette, her gallic shrug you can’t forget
Smoking gauloises cigarettes, salade nicoise and lipstick wet
Passion like I never knew, love me till I’m black n blue
It was love on Line 2

Wow, for somebody whose 72 (I think i've seen that in a post), you still have a great quality to your voice. the guitars seemed a bit muffled but it could be my speakers.

Man I'm jealous I've never been to Paris , Only 3rd world countries , Not sure why that is

Thats sounds great , still rocking and rolling at 72 , Paul Ankas still doing it at 84 , Best do music or die from being serious. DOA , Died from thinking life was not a joke. Buried at sea for some reason .Maybe he had an aquarium .Was he's ex wife there ? Yup she's the one who pushed him over board . On Titanic 3 right ? Yes just built. What happened to Titanic 2 , it sank like the first one

Thank you. Yup,turned 72 the other day. I intend to keep going till I can't. Just got back from band practice! I'll check out the guitars - do you mean the solo or the rhythm?
