We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Now the old fecker requests that I wear vintage Mary Quant with either mary jane flats or zippered white go-go boots whenever we venture out into polite society.
And..........AND!!!!?
The nostalgic nonce wants me to redo my hairstyle to better reflect the aesthetic of the swinging sixties. I've a choice:
I can have a Beehive like Dusty Springfield;
- a Flip like Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched;
- a Bob like Diana Ross during her Supremes days;
- a Joan Baez, when she was dating Dylan, mess;
- or the Sassoon inspired Twiggy cut.
Fuck them all. I want La Seberg Coup or nothing!
Without that shorn-hair look to complement my not-so-haute couture ensemble, I can envision the following dialogue from passersby:

The Average Person: "C'est vraiment dégueulasse."
Me: "Qu'est ce qu'il a dit?"
The Tutor: "Il a dit que vous êtes vraiment "une dégueulasse"."
Me: "Qu'est-ce que c'est "dégueulasse?"
I'll have to run away, à bout de souffle.
So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny

So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This dégueulasse feeling (dégueulasse feeling)
Make me long for your death
Go on (go on), go on (go on)
Yeah...
UPDATE
Only you, ALT-F, would ever attempt to connect Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless with the Corrs. Here's a challenge; connect Polanski's Repulsion with Lesley Gore's Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows. Speaking of whom, either one of the hairdos of Ms. Gore or Ms Deneuve would suit me quite nicely too.

UPDATE II
You're on!
I quite like Catherine Deneuve's mane - and demeanour - in that movie. I'm amenable to that. I can identify with her.
Lesley Gore? Not fucking likely.
