The Box
L'Affaire Dumoutier (Say To Me)
All The Time, All The Time, All The Time... (1985)

w/ ti-beat + cloches

On the 14th of October
Very early in the morning
The results of a crime were found
In the stables of "le père Choupon"

The old man had discovered
To his absolute dismay
The dislocated body
Of Elizabeth Dumoutier - so

Eadd2  Aadd2  Gmaj7  Asus2/C♯  w/

The police was called in
I was handed an inquiry
Upon arriving on the scene
Some photographs were shot

A couple of small time journalists
Were rising their fists among the crowd, shouting
- C'est le jeune Austin l'coupable !
  C'est lui qu'a fait l'coup, j'vous dis moi !

E  A  D  Bm  w/

- Viens voir là toi...
  Et comment c'est que vous savez ça vous deux ?

- Hé normal !
  Tout le monde les a vu quitter le bal ensemble hier soir !

  E                        A
  Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity        x 2
  D                        Bm
  Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind

A man was found on a nearby road
Wandering without a goal
In a complete state of amnesia
And his hair filled with straw

Though the whole thing seemed unreal
It soon became quite clear
That Austin, the author of this crime
Needed swift assistance.

- Allez, allez là, M. le commissaire !
  Maintenant il va nous faire le coup du type qui se rappelle de rien !

- Toi, je t'interdis du publier tes salades dans ton canard de merde
  jusqu'à ce que le procès soit terminé !

  Pré-refrain

    Say, say to me                     x 4
    Please say that this can't be

Exhaustive study on the subject
Led experts to conclude
Austin had been the victim of a strange case
Of split personality

The trial neared it's end
And though the facts had been exposed
The crowd still wanted blood
Well, they were in for a big surprise
