Thanks for replies. Anyone wish to venture a guess (educated or otherwise) as to why the written lyrics don't contain the "car".
Each language has words and phrases that are used for transition, sometimes even ad lib, that don't show up in the written lyrics but do exist in the song itself.
I note in the song that there is a long vowel sound (i.e., "une") on the tails of a long vowel sound (i.e., the "e" sounding "y" at the end of ecstasy). In fact the long vowel "e" is applified and extended when sung. Regardless of French or English, we don't like to follow vowel sound with vowel sound, so our language creates constructs to intersperse a consonent inbetween vowel sounds. For example, in English we use "an" (instead of "a") in front of vowel sounding words to avoid having to run vowel sounds back to back.
I was wondering if the "car" is being used to provide a consonent filler between Ecstasy and Une, possibly "ad lib" by Alizée.
