Clear and direct response to the lyrics forced down Alizee's throat by contract.
"its not even a game
get over your fame
im not twenty"
Alizee being forced and led on to sing a song which made fun of herself was a very French way to kick in her stomach. she sings a song about someone "not twenty". As if to say get overself your just a child.
Response? what? your fifty or sixty years old?
Flower power died on the dance floor
Electronic and punk exist no more
With the age of rock, time was changed
Rock rolls on rollers, pop's been knocked ( ie your pop music is dead and so is your old era)
Flower power died a good death
New wave and techno exist no more
Go play your last role, no longer the model (your done your finished - your no longer pretty)
Yet you still dance in Andy's eyes
However there are some references to andy warhol as well - east village - nikon - sixites. A brilliant writer would have a duble-entendres a la pearl jam.
Def a finger to the fifty or sixty yo woman. her style, dress, performance and music are all a testament of rejection of her former "mentor"/opportunist. But i wish alizee would recognize that she doesnt need to reject all that was farmer brown to maintain her self/dignity.
