Grande Affaire Lyrics - Singles - Ralph Mctell

Take a bus, who needs a car 

We'll eat here, take this seat near the door 

Well, I'm not hungry much now, are you? 

Is it okay if I share yours with you? 

I've got no money and I think, I believe that you knew 

Remember the moon on the wall, didn't she shine? 

The taste of the sheets and the feel of the wine 

Wasn't I glad that you was mine 

In the Grande Affaire? 

Take a boat, maybe a plane 

Anywhere now, 'cept Greece or Spain 

For sure, I know where I am 

I see canals, this is Amsterdam 

I got friends here and they know, they can say who I am 

Remember the room without any view? 

Frightened of meeting someone that we knew 

No farewells or how do you dos 

In the Grande Affaire 

Now I've stayed in all the best hotels 

And there's white coated waiters attend me 

And I look at the beautiful girls 

Do they really believe they can bend me? 

Well, I drive now, seldom I walk 

I can speak French, but I'd rather not talk 

Which suit will I wear tonight? 

Take out the brown, but in the end wear the white 

After shade stepping out stepping into the light 

Remember the moon on the wall, didn't she shine? 

The year was all wrong so we sent back the wine 

Wasn't you glad that you was mine 

In the Grande Affaire?
