Music and French lyrics by
Paul de Maison Neuve
English version by Pamela Lintingre
Original title : Moins qu’un zéro
LESS THAN ZERO
1 There are girls everywhere, you can see them on posters.
P’haps it’s ’cos I’m not rich or not a good looker.
And yet I have a good job, a nice flat and... hifi,
Neither corny nor retro I’m often outside.
Chorus I’m thirty-five,
Got no wife,
Got no child,
Got no hope of having mine-i-ine.
I thought all was right
In my life but now
I feel wrong inside,
I’m less than zero.
2 There is plenty of love in the movies nowadays.
So much of it on screens but nothing comes my way.
For « Pravda of the heart » I’m certainly a... missing.
I watch TV programs sexy and exciting-ing.
To the chorus.
Bridge I ain’t any male slave. No, I refuse that term.
Enslaved by women ? I just declare I love them.
Please, tell me how others are dealing with this problem :
To be their equal but to protect them all the same ?
To the chorus.
End I thought all was right
In my life but now
I feel wrong inside,
I’m less than ze-e-ero.
