I used to listen to their album for hours on end when i was only 9.

Now i'm 14, and i realize what a huge impact they made on my music taste and scene.

Thank you Pink Martini!

My room is a cage The sun streams through the window, the bellhops are at my door like those little soldiers who want to take me away. I don't want to work, I don't want to lunch I only want to forget and so I smoke. Long ago I knew the smell of love, a million roses didn't smell as sweet. Now a single flower in my way makes me sick. Chorus I am not proud if this life that wants to kill me. It's magnificent to be sympatico but I have never known this. Chorus

@nikhilm89 Could be either, but pretty sure it's cigs. Obviously she's distressed over a guy and/or life, and doesn't want to eat or work or anything. Just forget about it, and relieve her stress with a cig.

Could be weed as well, but yeah she doesn't want to eat.

Yeah but she doesn't want any lunch either. ;)

It's in French -- it's about smoking butts... and forgetting.

@nikhilm89 go to sleep doofus

When she says "je fume" I wonder if she's talking about tobacco or herb. The line "je ne veux pas travailler" suggests that she's talking about herb (because smoking herb makes you lazy). But the line "je ne veux pas dejeuner" suggests that she's talking about cigarettes (because smoking cigarettes kills your appetite). Also the fact that she's French makes me assume that she's talking about smoking cigarettes.

Any thoughts?
