Story Behind the Song
A little diddy from my early days in Paris
Lyrics
CRAWL
(Parisian café)
Words and music by Kristian Fjellstad
Early evening, Gare Du Nord
Parisian café
Grumpy waiter, empty glasses
-another bottle, s'il vous plait
Is she sure they haven’t met before
‘round St.Germain Des Prés?
She stole all his conversation
from right under his nose
He’d like to say something to get back on top
but he just can’t seem to get close
to her at all
Aw man, he’d like to see her crawl
He never did like Bach
but he finds Mozart pretty mean
And like her, he digs Coltrane
And at night he reads Cèline
Nothing like a candle, a joint
and the "Voyage à bout de la nuit"
He ain’t all that easy to figure out
She's trying to make some connection
She just can’t tell what he’s wanting for
if it’s company, sex or affection
or her soul
Or if he just wants to see her crawl
She offers to pay, gets up
got to catch a train
Going to Amsterdam for the weekend
Some exhibition, art from Spain
She’ll be back by the fifth
perhaps they’ll meet again
He writes down her phone number
and stays to finish his cup
wishes he’d said something to make her stay
brought her home and had her up
against the wall
Aw, he’d like to see her crawl
She heads for the station
gets the metro instead
Stops at St. Michel, buys a book
to spend the week-end with in bed
From a distance she can pick to pieces
at least half of the things he’d said
She salutes herself, well content
she knows what games to play
Some things are better left unsaid
though she’d really like to stay
she knows he’ll call
And then she’ll make him crawl
Early evening, Châtelet
Parisian café
Grumpy waiter, empty glasses
-another bottle, s'il vous plait
another bottle, s'il vous plait
Lust and self-righteousness
a dangerous combination
We all like to indulge ourselves
Don’t you just love that sensation
of being in control
When you watch somebody crawl
