When You're A French Director - Sparks

When you’re a French director, it seems la vie est belle

Women say «oui,» they long to be, top of the bill, oh well

When you’re a French director, you’re an auteur as well

What does that mean?

Every scene must be obscure as hell

When you’re a French director

You never smile, what’s the deal?

Hollywood guys, with their CGI eyes smile

But their films lack «le feel»

When you’re a French director

Un César, do you really care?

You can’t admit it

But you could fit it

Right on that shelf, over there

When you’re a French director

You know la vie est belle

Women say «oui,» they long to be, top of the bill, oh merde
