about

The song "Mazet" depicts the scene in the 1970s in the buskers' bar of the latin quarter of Paris, "Cafe Le Mazet".

lyrics

In a bright and crowded night street, there used to be a bar
Where a group of friends would sit and talk and play n the guitar,
If most of us had had a good day, and the atmosphere was right,
We'd sit and drink and play guitar until half way through the night,
Sometimes a group of French girls, would happen to walk in
We'd sit out on the terrace, some you lose and some you win.
One guy made a record, another refused to sign
There was no need to hurry then we al had lots of time
Now none of us is famous, and one of us is dead
We're a long way from that cafe now but it stays there in the head
And if you're ever in that cafe where the songs have never changed,
The faces all are different now
But the people are just the same!

La la la la la la la

C'etais dans La rue du quartier
La Saint Andre des Arts
Apres q'on a fait la manche,
On joue a la guitarre.
