[Intro]
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la
[Verse 1]
Caught your eye 'cross a busy room
Like the moon and sun rolled up into one
Born and raised with these silver spoons
Spat 'em out to choose the pursuit of love
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave with me, babe
We could sack off this place any time
Just make an excuse
And we'll leave all these losers far behind us
[Chorus]
'Cause oh ('Cause oh), mon amour (Mon amour)
Say the word and I will go with you anywhere
C'est toi (C'est toi) que j'adore (Que j'adore)
You're the Earth, the moon, the stars, the air in every breath
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, we could go anywhere, we could fly away from here (La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, like two birds up in the air, we could fly off anywhere (La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
(La, la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la)
[Verse 2]
They locked you up in a holy place
I joined you anyway, let's burn it down in flames
'Cause all my crimes get forgiven by
The king and all Versailles for this voice of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's be who we are
And just love together with our one life
And they can all try
To catch up with our love in their own time
[Chorus]
'Cause oh ('Cause oh), mon amour (Mon amour)
Say the word and I will go with you anywhere
C'est toi (C'est toi) que j'adore (Que j'adore)
You're the Earth, the moon, the stars, the air in every breath
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, we could go anywhere, we could fly away from here
(La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
Ooh-ooh, like two birds up in the air, we could fly off anywhere (La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
[Bridge]
Love dresses up in many ways
Ne soyez pas tous cons avec ça
Yeah, love dresses up in different ways
Ne soyez pas tous cons avec ça
Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Viens avec moi, viens avec moi
Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Viens avec moi, viens avec moi
Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Viens avec moi, viens avec moi
Oh, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
Viens avec moi, viens avec moi
[Chorus]
Oh (Oh), mon amour (Mon amour)
Say the word and I will go with you anywhere
C'est toi (C'est toi) que j'adore (Que j'adore)
You're the Earth, the moon, the stars, the air, you're every breath

Halfway through writing the album, I got in touch with the historian Emma Nagouse to put me onto unusual stories I could explore. She told me about this incredible French opera singer from the 17th century, Julie d’Aubigny, who had an amazing life and once broke her girlfriend out of a n...
