lyrics
I met a girl in Paris, France,
An Irish girl I met by chance.
She said come to Paris, France,
And we can do the Paris dance.
You put your hand out in the night - Paris, France
You take a seat on the midnight flight.
You take the third door on the right - Paris, France
walls are blue the ceiling's white.
Don't worry 'bout the autonome - Paris, France
No one here is anyone.
I was young but that's all gone - Paris, France
I never think of what I've done.
Susy that's an Irish name
Susy that's a Paris game
All I want is love and fame
Susie do you want the same?
You put your hand out in the night,
You take a seat on the midnight flight
You take the third door on the right
Walls are blue the ceiling's white.
I met a girl - Paris, France
An Irish girl
She said come to Paris, France,
And we can do the, do the Paris dance.
Paris, France, do the Paris France dance
Paris, France, chassé down the Champs Elysee
Paris, France, do the Paris, France oo-la-la
Paris, France.
Do the France dance like a railway train
Do the France dance in the pouring rain
White lights flashing in the Paris night
I dance the Left bank and you dance the right
Spin like a dervish and you'll feel no pain
Watch your step or you'll dance in Seine
And you go ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Do the France dance in the pouring rain
Do the France dance like a railway train
Do the France dance in the Paris rain
Do the France dance or you'll go insane...
An Irish girl I met by chance.
She said come to Paris, France,
And we can do the Paris dance.
You put your hand out in the night - Paris, France
You take a seat on the midnight flight.
You take the third door on the right - Paris, France
walls are blue the ceiling's white.
Don't worry 'bout the autonome - Paris, France
No one here is anyone.
I was young but that's all gone - Paris, France
I never think of what I've done.
Susy that's an Irish name
Susy that's a Paris game
All I want is love and fame
Susie do you want the same?
You put your hand out in the night,
You take a seat on the midnight flight
You take the third door on the right
Walls are blue the ceiling's white.
I met a girl - Paris, France
An Irish girl
She said come to Paris, France,
And we can do the, do the Paris dance.
Paris, France, do the Paris France dance
Paris, France, chassé down the Champs Elysee
Paris, France, do the Paris, France oo-la-la
Paris, France.
Do the France dance like a railway train
Do the France dance in the pouring rain
White lights flashing in the Paris night
I dance the Left bank and you dance the right
Spin like a dervish and you'll feel no pain
Watch your step or you'll dance in Seine
And you go ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah
Do the France dance in the pouring rain
Do the France dance like a railway train
Do the France dance in the Paris rain
Do the France dance or you'll go insane...

John Peel played it on the radio, Tyne Tees Television filmed them for the Tube and Johnny Marr invited them to tour with the Smiths. They were up and running. ... more

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion.

Amazing. Music full of energy and soul. And lyrics not scared of having an opinion. Plus on one of my favourite labels Invada. Finding this music this morning made my day.

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff.
