Lyrics Sliding along by the Seine, it’s May Day This song’s in my head once again It’s a long way down to the bottom we’ve been racing Coughing my lungs up on Rue des Irlandais Becoming a risk to myself It’s a long way down to the bottom and we’re racing The radio silence and the anarchists Are gathering names, dates and lists for burning It’s a long way down to the bottom that we’ve been racing Oh, how you move me, but truly Oh, how you set my heart aglow
