about

Rue Mouffetard is my favourite street in Paris.

lyrics

I waited for you on the rue Mouffetard
I walked down the hill past the cafés and markets
To the Place St Médard
Among the friends shaking hands
After work in a bar
I ordered a beer and I thought of the past
Of the rue Mouffetard
Oh, rue Mouffetard

When the river still flowed
Through the tannery yards
There was blood on the stones of the rue Mouffetard
Another barricade fell,
Another dreamer was lost
Another symbol crashed, burned,
Flashed and turned into dust
Oh, rue Mouffetard

Now those big city lights seem so far away
Those big city dreams
And the grand boulevards
And all those big ideas, do they matter today?
Do they still shine a light
Down the rue Mouffetard?
Did they change everything or nothing at all
For the tourists, the students,
The beggar asleep on the wall?
Did they change who I am?
Did they change who you are?
As we walk away, up the rue Mouffetard?
Oh, rue Mouffetard
