Miscellaneous
It's Extra
Words and music: Léo Ferré

1 A leather dress like a spindle
What would look like a dog without doing it on purpose
And inside like a sailor
A girl who sways an English tune
It's extra
A moody blues
that sings at night
Like a married white satin
And in the port of this night
A 'girl' who sways and gets wet.
R It's extra, it's extra, it's extra, it's extra.
2 Hair that falls like it does in the evening
And music in the lower back
This jazz that jazzes in the evening
And this evil that does us good
It's great
These hands that play the rainbow
On the guitar of life
And then these cries that rise to the sky
Like a cigarette that prays.
3 These stockings which hold high perched
Like the strings of a violin
And this flesh which comes to disturb
The bow which flows my song
It's extra
br/>And under the barely closed veil
This tuft of black Jesus
Who flows into his cradle
Like a swimmer who is no longer expected.
4 A leather dress like an oversight
What would be dog without doing it on purpose
And inside like a gray morning
A girl who sways and who is silent
br/>It's great
The moody blues that swing from it
This amp that no longer means anything
And in the music of silence
A 'fill' which pitches and comes to die.
