Story behind the song
Inspired by the "over the top" avante garde decadence of 18th Century French royalty under the reign of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette...Illicit sex, drugs, booze, overindulgence, obscene opulence and extravagance, incompetent leadership, fiscal irresponsibility, ect....with dire ramifications (led directly to the storming of the Bastille, the start of the French Revolution, and the ultimate beheading of both King Louis and Marie Antoinette)
A world of thanks to Butch, Cristina, and Lexi Hartley for generously providing studio space, for the amazing catering, and for even contributing to the backing vocals! And thanks so much Jude, we ALL obviously had a blast!

Lyrics
Ca Plane Pour Moi
Yam! Bam! mon chat Splash
Git sur mon lit a bouffe
Sa en buvant tout mon whisky
Quant a moi peu dormi, vide, brime
J'ai du dormir dans la gouttiere
Ou j'ai eu un flash
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
En quatre couleurs
Allez hop! un matin
Une louloute est venue chez-moi
Poupee de cellophane, cheveux chinois
Un sparadrap, une gueule de bois
A bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This is the new one from The Tools
Ca plane pour moi ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ca plane pour moi
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Chorus
Allez hop! t'occupe t'inquiete
Touche pas ma planete
It's not today
Quel le ciel me sur la tete
Et que la colle me manquera
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Ca plane pour moi
Who is the Queen of the divan?
Who is the Queen of the divan?
We dig to hang out at the bar called the CBC
Who is the Queen of the divan?
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Jude is the Queen of the divan!
Repeat Chorus X 2 to fade

ENGLISH TRANSLATION (OPEN TO INTERPRETATION)
Being High Works For Me
Wham bam, my cat Splash
Is rolling around on my bed. He swallowed
His tongue as he drank all my whisky
As for me, I've hardly slept, I feel empty and reprimanded
I had to sleep in the gutter,
Where I had a flash of inspiration
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
In four colours
Ok let's go, one morning
A babe came round to my house
She looked like a cellophane doll with a Chinese hairstyle
She was wearing a plaster and had a hangover
She drank my beer in a large rubber glass
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
This is the new one from The Tools
Being high works for me
Being high works for me
Being high works for me me me me
Being high works for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Being high works for me
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Chorus
Ok let's go, mind your own, keep your nose out
Don't harm my planet
Today's not the day the sky will fall down around my ears
Or that I will have to go without a drink
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Being high works for me
Who is the Queen of the divan?
Who is the Queen of the divan?
We dig to hang out at the bar called the CBC
Who is the Queen of the divan?
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
Jude is the Queen of the divan!
