Do not corrupt in the name of art

You wrote the Battle March, and you wrote the Sex March.
Your life is nothing but piano, women and smoke.
The revolver you stole when you were young will never belong to your soul.
You face the death of your father with a blank face, and your tears blur the mirror to pay homage to the dead dog.
You come and go when you call women, and you return when you call music.
You are an artist who has smoked for a lifetime, and you are a prodigal son of a lifetime of corruption.
Your chapters, like amber, are gorgeous, but they are not fresh.
All of this,
just because you never found true love, you are buried in the smog of corrupt art.

    Sejang Gainsbourg is the guy you can fall in love with irrationally, but Boris Vian is not.

Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life quotes

  • Serge Gainsbourg: You match my aesthetic criteria. You're pure beauty and you're also the tragic figure of despair.

    [pause]

    Serge Gainsbourg: Do you understand what I'm saying?

    Bambou: You want to screw me?

    Serge Gainsbourg: Maybe. I'm just saying it more poetically.

  • Lucien Ginsburg: When I go out, it's to meet up with women. How else do think I was able to draw cunt hair?
