The Last Time I Saw Paris
Love this song!!
But even though it makes me a terrible fan - who is the singer?! Or is this where Cate Le Bon comes into things? Excuse my stupidity - it's been a long night!

It is a belter. I'm amazed at the quality of all 3 "bonus" tracks. We've essentially got a 16 song album without a stinker on it.
I've no idea who the singer is. I'm awaiting delivery of my deluxe edition. It's bound to be in the credit notes.

Rumours are that it might be James' wife

It's definitely not a native speaker because I heard a very slight accent, so I thought maybe Mylene as she's half French but Nina Hoss could actually work!
Here are my shot at the lyrics and my very quick translation: The Last Time I Saw Paris Lors de mon dernier voyage à Paris Comme d'habitude, la nausée me reprit La puanteur de l'échec autour de moi Envahie par le spectre de l'échec La dernière fois que j'ai vu Paris The last time I saw Paris J'ai dansé le tango à Paris Mais je me sentais imposteur et fataliste Par mon exil inexprimé Et mes promesses vouées à être rompues La dernière fois que j'ai vu Paris The last time I saw Paris Je me suis promené dans Paris Recherchant le boxeur et le gardien de but J'aurais voulu leur poser des questions Mais ils étaient trop pris ces coureurs de jupons La dernière fois que j'ai vu Paris The last time I saw Paris --- During my last journey to Paris Nausea came back to me as usual The stench of the failure around me Overwhelmed by the spectre of failure I danced the tango in Paris But I felt like a fraud and a fatalist By my unspoken exile And my promises doomed to be broken I had a walk in Paris Looking for the boxer and the goalkeeper I had wished to ask them questions But these womanisers were too busy (yeah references to Sartre's Nausea, and The Last Tango in Paris mixed with failure and football, typical Wire lyrics and I love it - haven't heard the rest of the album as I'm at work and had to hide in the loo to listen to the songs and write the lyrics lol)

This is the best song on the 2 discs, only spoilt a bit by JDB's cameo.

Crazy it's not on the 'official' album. Fits the theme perfectly and offers a bit of musical difference with the mandolin and piano . It's being added into my Futurology tracklist regardless.
Has that sleazy jazzy wine bar feel of 'life in a glasshouse' even if it lacks the ambition a little.
