Wire - French Film Blurred Lyrics

I didn't understand your plea to live
Or the guy's wish to take or give
However as backing away, he fell and lay
Dead amongst the fireworks display

It's not quite the way to say your goodbyes
It's not quite the way to behave
Secured you a concrete grave beneath a motorway
Gold scissors cut the ribbon and set them loose

On the opening day the vibrations will shake
Your bones but that's just the disadvantage
Of not speaking a second language
(The problems and bad reception)
(Resulting in blurred perception)
