Le Grand Guignol Songtext
von Soft Cell

Mesdames et messieurs, ce soir, c′est le Grand Guignol
Le Grand Guignol

Would you like to taste a little pain
From the fickle hand of fame?
Aren't you happy that the road to success is
Littered with drugs and sex? It′s
All here for your delectation
In compromising situations
Let fallen heroes entertain you
Take a look, nobody's gonna blame you

Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello to the broken people, the broken people

Snake dancer, sex changer
Come inside, it gets stranger and stranger
Got a lot of unpleasant surprises
Cruelty comes in all shapes and sizes


Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello to the broken people, the broken people
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello to the broken people, the broken people

It's Grand Guignol, it′s rock and roll
It′s vaudeville and burlesque
All of human life is here
In the Theatre of the Grotesque

Venez, venez, c'est le Grand Guignol
Venez voir, venez, c′est le Grand Guignol
Venez toucher, c'est le Grand Guignol
Venez sentir, c′est le Grand Guignol

The city has turned upside down
The circus lion is eating the clown
We're all delivered to the poison pens
And sacrificed to the pig with the lens

Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello to the broken people, the broken people
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello (Le Grand Guignol)
Say hello to the broken people, the broken people


It′s Grand Guignol, it's rock and roll
It's vaudeville and burlesque
All of human life is here
In the Theatre of the Grotesque

(Le Grand Guignol)
Venez, venez, c′est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Venez, venez, c′est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Venez, venez, c'est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Venez, venez, c′est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Come inside (Le Grand Guignol)

Venez, venez, c'est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Come inside (Le Grand Guignol)
(Le Grand Guignol)
Venez, venez, c′est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
The Grand Guignol, come inside (Le Grand Guignol)

Venez, venez, c'est le Grand Guignol
(Le Grand Guignol)
Thank you, here′s a song from The Art of Falling Apart
