The Tenth Stage - Francois Martin

(Verse)

The head had fallen in the basket

The skin was turning white but

Slowly, the eyelids lifted

And its eyes fixed on mine

His lips began to unseal and

With an utter cry he said

Francois Martin is my name

And this is my tale of dread

(pre - Chorus)

Once upon a time I had

Four wives he softly said

I loved each and everyone of them

Right until the end, right until the end

(Chorus)

The first one was Yvette

She was sweet like anisette

But for kitchen she was unfit,

So I ate her bit by bit

Hélen, my secound wife,

she was the light of my life

But she wasn't very bright

So I burned her with delight

Mélanie was my third

A nice good loking bird

I choked her with a tie

But I can't remember why

The fourth one was Anette

she was a shy brunette

But she used to snore in bed

so I axed her on the head

(Coda)

Francois was my name

I loved until the end

Pity that for women

I had to lose my head

But even if I'm dead

And my neck is still in pain

If I did have the chance

I'd do it all again

(repeat Coda)

Francois was my name

I loved until the end

Pity that for women

I had to lose my head

But even if I'm dead

And my neck is still in pain

If I did have the chance

I'd do it all again

(Monologue)

Francois, our dear husband

whom we cherished so much,

to the altar he lead us and

to the graveyard in the end

On the other side, we are watching!

'till Death do us part' we remember,

before long he will pay the price
