Nice singer - new to me. I think she sings
"The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces,
With distant grey traces...."
You need to speak French to understand the original lyrics, then it makes more sense.....
The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces,
With distingué traces,
That used to be there.
You could see where,
They'd been washed away,
By too many through the day.
Twelve o'clock tales.
It's a remarkable lyric, especially for a teenager! How could he know so much about life?
