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.

MétropolitainI’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
