Adieu minette - Renaud

Adieu minette - Renaud
3:51
Laisse béton, 1977
Written by Renaud Séchan

The album is often called Place de ma mob.  The song is an acerbic kiss-off worthy of Dylan.  "Sous tes cheveux beaucoup trop blonds / Décolorés ça va de soi / T'avais une cervelle de pigeon / Mais j'aimais ça, mais j'aimais ça."  Or what about "Ton père j'l'ai traité d'enfoiré / Excuse-moi auprès d'lui / Si j'avais su que c'était vrai / J'y aurais redit."  The vocal is measured, almost monotone; the music is an accompaniment.  It's a cold litany more than a musical tour-de-force, mais j'aime ça, j'aime ça.
