Lyrics

FdF = Fred de Fred
MB = Marion Benoist

FdF: I respect your body
It moves be profoundly
It reminds me that I am alive
In return I will give you exclusive access to the library inside my mind
Come taste my wine
Come taste my wine

FdF: If all that has passed your innocent lips is juice and tea and water
Baby, here's a friendly tip
Come taste my wine
MB: No, no Sir, that would never do, it smells so sour and heavy
I've heard a lot about men like you
Don't waste my time

FdF: But this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Yes, this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Yes, this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Come taste my wine
FdF: But this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Yes, this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Yes, this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Come taste my wine

MB: Stained-toothed, black-lipped with blood-shot eyes, and yet I can't deny the fact that you're so keen to taste
Makes me wanna try
FdF: That's right
MB: Maybe just a drop?
FdF: Hmm… You are so young and firm and full of juice!
MB: You like?
FdF: I like
MB: Alright
FdF: Come on drink deep
To appreciate it fully you must swallow it!
MB: Swallow it?
FdF: Swallow it, yes, that's right
Don't that taste good?
MB: It's delicious
FdF: You want some more?
MB: Yes, I could drink this all night
FdF: You want some more?
MB: Yes, all night
FdF: You want some more?
MB: Yeah, all night
FdF: You want drink my wine?
MB: Yeah, all night

MB in background: Come drink my wine, drink my wine, drink my wine...
MB: Yeah, all night
Yeah
FdF: But this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: But this wine is a good year
MB: It's the year I was born!
FdF: Come drink my wine
MB: Yeah, all night

MB and FdF: Any time that you are lonely
you know you only need to phone me
It's a bring a bottle party: come drink my wine

MB: Le vin s'écoule
Le vin c'est bien
Le vin s'écoule
FdF: Va et vient entre tes petits riens
