about

A folk song about a situation and about a woman in France.

lyrics

Marine Le Pen

Well, Marine drove up for a while
To some northern industrial place
It was time, she thought, to reflect on her past
And she would not be moving back.

In a long and lasting conversion
In the shadows of some mall
You could see her sneak like a rickety crack
That’s been mirrored on these walls.

As a young girl having intentions
In a strange and promising land
There was a lot of talking and misunderstanding
And the endings were never planned.

All the steel workers gathered around
In a broke down clashing dream
With these smoke stacks, coal piles and enormous buildings
And all these blown out machines.

There was a longing for information
On all these streets nearby
A week of promising payments closed
To an immaculate Saturday sky.

At the old industrial heartland
Reporting authorities came
They were all entitled with moral salvation
And offering phrases of fame.


Chorus: Oh Marine, oh Marine
What has happened and what have you seen?
Is it true you went to America
To appear in a musical film?
