Noel’s Lament Lyrics
In my life, I was Noel Gruber who worked at Taco Bell
In Uranium City, Saskatchewan But, in my dreams, I played a different role I was Monique Gibeau in post-war FranceA hooker with a heart of black charcoal
I write poems to burn by firelight Drink champagne and guzzle gin Good girls call me “The Town Bicycle” Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried my life of sinOh, Claude, my pimp, knows never mess with me
Last prick did that faded quick to black I have no idea where to find him, officers But if you do, please mention that I’d like to have returned The pretty knife that I stuck ten times in his backFor I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night My life’s one never-ending carnival A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that fucked-up girlHe said, “I think I am in love with you”
I’ve heard that lie a million times before Oh, tonight I give in to the fantasy Take love when you can, when you’re a whoreFor I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night My life’s one never-ending carnival A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that fucked-up girlSo now I sell my love for opium
In some rat-infested Chinese dive At night, I burn myself with cigarettes Just to somehow prove I’m still aliveEight months later, I catch typhoid flu
Kicked out, I see the ugly light of day Dying in an alley, a priest kneels down to me“My child, do you have any final words to the Lord you’d like to say?”
“Oui, tell him that, like him, I choose to burn out rather than fade away!”For I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night My life’s one never-ending carnival A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing lightFor I sing songs until the break of dawn
I embrace a new man every night My life’s one never-ending carnival A whirl of boozy-floozy flashing light I want to be that fucked-up girl I wanna be that fucked-up girlBroken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin Teeth all stained with nicotine Running nylons, shattered dreams Super crusty, holy terror Wild eyes and black mascaraBroken heart, a flask of gin
Tattooed with a safety pin Teeth all stained with nicotine Running nylons, shattered dreams Super crusty, holy terror Wild eyes and black mascaraIf I could have just one dream
(If he could have just one dream) I’d be that fucked-up girl! Hey!Watch Noel’s Lament Video Song
