Kill Me (Ce Soir) (G. Kooymans/B. Hay/J. Fenton) 1975 Switch

Remember that song called “Kill Me”, from Vick Timm’s last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc, the price he paid for money

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d’un rock and roll star
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d’un rock and roll star

Sing your song, you can’t go wrong, tempted his business adviser
No need for alarm, you’ll come to no harm, he didn’t mention the sniper

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d’un rock and roll star
Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d’un rock and roll star

The news is read, the need is fed, one yawn, two yawn and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight, come on, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song, fini, belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called “Kill Me”, a lecture on political chicanary
Of people’s rape recorded on tape, brought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight, one more point for human right
Tonight, tonight, one more point for human right

Remember that song “Kill Me”, once used by a man from Galilea
He had nothin’ to lose, he was king of the Jews, secured his place in history

Ce soir, ce soir, assassination d’un provocateur

The news is read, the poison’s spread, one yawn, two yawn and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight, come on, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song, fini, belle vie

Vick played the part with all his heart, he wasn’t prepared for the shock
When howling lead bit into his head, a new martyr for the book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock, the book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock
