MOULIN ROUGE LYRICS |
Nature Boy (David Bowie) There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" Complainate De La Butte (Rufus Wainwright) La lune trop blême Pose un diadème Sur tes cheveux roux La lune trop rousse De gloire éclabousse Ton jupon plein d'trous La lune trop pâle Caresse l'opale De tes yeux blasés Princesse de la rue Soit la bienvenue Dans mon cœur brisé Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux Les ailes du moulin protègent les amoureux Petite mandigote Je sens ta menotte Qui cherche ma main Je sens ta poitrine Et ta taille fine J'oublie mon chagrin Je sens sur tes lèvres Une odeur de fièvre De gosse mal nourri Et sous ta caresse Je sens une ivresse Qui m'anéantit Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux Les ailes du moulin protègent les amoureux Et voilà quelle trotte La lune qui flotte La princesse aussi La da da da da La da da da da Mes rêves épanouis Les escaliers de la butte sont durs aux miséreux Les ailes du moulin protègent les amoureux Lady Marmalade (Mya, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim & Missy Elliot) [Lil’ kim:] Where’s all mah soul sistas Lemme hear ya’ll flow sistas [Mya:] Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista Hey sista, go sista, soul sista, go sista [Mya:] He met Marmalade down in old Moulin Rouge Struttin’ her stuff on the street She said, "Hello, hey Jo, you wanna give it a go?"

CHORUS Diamond Dogs (Beck) As they pulled you out Of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicon hump And your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was, Todd Browning streak he was Crawling down the alley on Your hands and your knees, I'm sure you're not protected For it's plain to see Diamond Dogs are poachers And they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, Mannequins with kill appeal Will they come? I keep a friend serene Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch a death in the fog Young girls, they call them The Diamond Dogs In the year of the scavenger Season of the b**** Sashay on the board-walk Scurry to the ditch Just another future song Lonely little Keats There's gonna be sorrow Try and wake up for tomorrow The Halloween Jack Is a real cool cat, And he lives on top Of Manhattan Chase The elevators broke So he slides down a rope Onto the street below Oh Tarzie, go man, go Will they come? I keep a friend serene Will they come? Oh, baby, come unto me Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch a death in the fog Young girls, they call them The Diamond Dogs Young girls, they call them The Diamond Dogs Who-who-who Who-who-who Who-who-who Who-who-who YOUR SONG (Ewan McGregor) My gift is my song and this ones for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if there green or there blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody that this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world Hope you don’t mind I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world Spectacular, Spectacular!
