Reinforcements Songtext
von Les Rita Mitsouko

Oh, oh
I′m on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle
You won't tell me why the shrubbery moves
Or why there always has to be subterfusion
You won′t even say "at ease"
After waging a costly siege

When a potentate ain't so potent in his state
He summons help fast
Unilaterally I withdraw
What was peace is now a grand coup d'état
The Purple Heart for valour please
And no heart for you Denise

Reinforcements, reinforcements
I could use a strong rear guard
Reinforcements, reinforcements
First the left flank, then the right
I′d sooner work the PX tonight


You intercept my S.O.S
In order that no news of my distress
Will ever reach the home front and about my camouflage
Well, it didn′t work on you
In fact, most things they tell recruits never seem to do
Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous

Reinforcements, reinforcements
I could use a strong rear guard
Reinforcements, reinforcements
I could use a strong rear guard

Reinforcements, reinforcements
I don't want a tête-à-tête
Reinforcements, reinforcements
Reinforcements, reinforcements

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-ah-ah, la-la-la-la-la-la

Ink a pact
Then, please dismiss your regiment
Dismiss your regiment
Ink a pact, reach accord (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Dismiss your regiment (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Ink a pact, dismiss your regiment (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
