Hamed and Jacques Songtext
von Soho

Ahmed and Jacques fell in love in Marseille in 1989
Ahmed saw the moving clouds in Jacques′ eyes
Jacques needed someone to help him with his movie
This is their little story
Sailing to Dover, going down
Raided gun store and quit town
London crooked finger and then beckoned
Yes I can show you temporary heaven

Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques

Lived in a squat through the winter
There were people there who smoked heroin
But this road was not for our lovers
They drunk them away with red wine and vodka

Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques


On the first day of summer they were evicted
Their time bomb baby from another love
Stole a car and robbed a petrol station
Saw the petrol burning in the blaze

Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques

I knew Jacques when he was happy
Before the front had killed his love
Before the cops had kicked his smile
Before the Brits took his desire

Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques

Bulgarian choir on the radio
The machine guns rat-tat-tat-tat
Across the seas in Norfolk
Bloody day in Norfolk
Rat-tat-tat

Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques


And then the car exploded
Tangerine against the Chanel blue sky
The policeman made a death's head with his grin
Watched the smoke and ash float in the sun
And it′s death for Ahmed and Jacques
Ahmed and Jacques fell in love in Marseille in 1989
Ahmed saw the moving clouds in Jacques' eyes
Jacques needed someone to help him with his movie
And this was their little story
