Ernestine
Noir D�sir Lyrics

The lyrics to Noir D�sir's song Ernestine are full of vivid imagery and metaphorical references. The singer refers to a woman named Ernestine, whom he has known, describing her as someone who is not entirely bound by rules and expectations. The singer implies that Ernestine is not the only one like this, and suggests that there are many others out there. The lyrics describe how Ernestine owns an Austin that never starts, and the singer tells her to either sleep or search for another clown who is watching her.

The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with life. They suggest that success and happiness are hard to come by, and that even though there are people who are different and unique, ultimately, life can be tough for everyone. The line "Les places sont chères ici-bas" translates to "The places are expensive down here," which conveys the idea that everyone is trying to find their way and make something of themselves in a competitive environment. However, the singer also urges Ernestine to remain dignified and to stay true to herself, despite the challenges she may face.

The song Ernestine was released in 1996 as part of the Noir D�sir album "666.667 Club." It was the second single to be released from the album.
