Charlotte Gainsbourg - Jamais Lyrics
I told you before that this is the endYou'll never work in this town again, JamaisYou think you know me, that's your troubleNever fall in love with a body double, JamaisI stick to the script and I go with the planAnd frankly my dear I never gave a damn, JamaisNever even scratched the surfaceThough you're picking through my bonesIt's the performance of a lifetimeIt's my only starring roleYour leading lady needs directionYour leading lady sleeps aloneYou got the surface and substance confusedDon't believe what you read in those interviews, JamaisI can act like I'm dumb, I can act like I'm cleverYou thought that was me, oh well, I never, JamaisSo just what is real and just what is fakeWell, in life you never get to do a second take, JamaisNever even scratched the surfaceThough you're picking through my bonesThough the names and dates are alteredThe story's still my ownThe performance of a lifetimeMy only starring roleIn a cast of many thousands, no one's essential to the plotEvery extra, every superstar must now vacate the lotIn the performance of a lifetimeI make the final cut
