THE SONG OF SLURS
(Le Chanson de Slogan)
Translation by Mick Harvey & Katy Beale
You are vile, you are vague, you are vain
You're devious and envious, you're insane
Evelyn don't say that, Evelyn I pray to thee
Evelyn you (once) loved me, don't you see
You are cruel, you are crass, you don't care
You are coy, you are cold, you're unfair
Evelyn you're unjust, Evelyn it's not true
Evelyn you see, you love me too
You are foul, you are false, you're a fink
You are frail, you are fey, you're nothing
Evelyn don't say that, Evelyn it's not true
Evelyn you see, you love me too
