Quand J'Etais Chanteur
Michel Delpech Lyrics
J'ai mon rhumatisme
Qui devient gênant
Ma pauvre Cécile
J'ai soixante-treize ans
Je fais d'la chaise longue
Et j'ai une baby-sitter
Je traînais moins la jambe
Quand j'étais chanteur
J'avais des boots blanches
Une chemise ouverte
Sur un médaillon
C'était mon sourire
Mon atout majeur
Je m'éclatais comme une bête
Quand j'étais chanteur
Un soir à Saint-Georges
J'faisais la kermesse
Ma femme attendait
Planquée, dans la Mercedes
Elle s'est fait j'ter dans l'Indre
Par tout mon fan-club
J'avais une vie d'dingue
Quand j'étais chanteur
Les gens d'la police
Me reconnaissaient
Les excès de vitesse
J'les payais jamais
Toutes mes histoires
S'arrangeaient sur l'heure
On m'pardonnait tous mes écarts
Quand j'étais chanteur
Ma pauvre Cécile
J'ai soixante-treize ans
J'ai appris que Mick Jagger
Est mort dernièrement
J'ai fêté les adieux de Sylvie Vartan
Pour moi, il y a longtemps qu'c'est fini
J'comprends plus grand'chose, aujourd'hui
Mais j'entends quand même des choses que j'aime
Et ça distrait ma vie
Pour moi, il y a longtemps qu'c'est fini
J'comprends plus grand'chose, aujourd'hui
Mais j'entends quand même des choses que j'aime
Et ça distrait ma vie

In 2008 appeared a live DVD, Live au Grand Rex, which is widely acclaimed as an excellent live recording.
