about
"The Wife of Paul Gauguin" is the third track on EXPATRIATES.
The famous expatriate pictured on this page is Paul Gauguin.
"I am leaving in order to have peace and quiet, to be rid of the influence of civilization." -Paul Gauguin
lyrics
She is the wife of Paul Gauguin
Bearing the burden of loving her man
“What’s wrong with Paris?” she cries
“Or is it me you despise?
Your blues and your yellows, your greens and your reds
I cannot compete with what lives in your head
I should have seen this before I began
My life as l'épouse de l'artiste Paul Gauguin"
She is the wife of Paul Gauguin
Slogging through bills and wringing her hands
She yells, "All the convention you loathe
Is what feeds your children and buys them their clothes!
While you foam at the mouth about bourgeois conceits
We're a stone's throw from being thrown out in the street
God pardons foolishness time and again
But what of l'épouse de l'artiste Paul Gauguin?"
"Your blues and your yellows, your greens and your reds
I cannot compete with what lives in your head
Dying in Denmark was never the plan
Pas pour moi, l'épouse de l'artiste Paul Gauguin"
