Transposer:

Intro Verse Have you seen her she’s dressed in red fur And she’s walking down a street like 5th Avenue She’s got fine shoes she don’t pay no dues Except for days and days and days with her analyst crew Bridge Pink tights at night for the disco Fall calls her to balls in San Francisco Airports luggage a nuisance Mention politics she throws in her two cents Continental Kinda Girl take her scissor and she cut off a curl Continental Kinda Girl puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl Continental Kinda Girl She writes when this you see you’ll remember me I think my god she’ll follow me around the world Interlude Verse I got my faults I don’t need no Gestalt modern insecurity Twentieth Century plan And I confess I’d like to watch you undress I’ll help you take off your jewelry I’m gonna help you any way I can Bridge Pulling up in a chauffeur driven Cadillac To an after-hour Club; some say it’s where it’s at But who’s that gentleman with the ... I’m asking you who’s the old man with the ... Continental Kinda Girl take her scissor and she cut off a curl Continental Kinda Girl puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl Continental Kinda Girl She writes when this you see you’ll remember me I think my god she’ll follow me around the world Interlude 2nd Bridge And I think now am I too hard Is it just ’cause she has all those credit cards? Could it be just petty jealousy? But when I’m walking down 57th Avenue And our eyes just happen to meet I know I want a Continental Kinda Girl Continental Kinda Girl Interlude Verse She gets in motion on either side of the ocean She can hang out with the dirty rock and rollers she can hang out with the shieks She got important places in important faces Watch her go through customs carrying psychedelic antiques Bridge So twistewd wanted desired Remember Madam Claude where the rich men would buy her Anything she wanted as long as she was wanted As long as she was wanted my dreams they are haunted Continental Kinda Girl take her scissor and she cut off a curl Continental Kinda Girl puts it in a jewelry box like a pearl Continental Kinda Girl She writes when this you see you’ll remember me I think my god she’ll follow me around the world

Cette chanson nous plonge dans l'univers captivant d'une femme sophistiquée et libre, habillée avec élégance et évoluant dans le monde des beaux quartiers, entre soirées mondaines et glamour. On perçoit une fascination pour sa personnalité complexe, entre modernité et tradition, en passant par ses interactions dans un milieu artistique peu conventionnel. Elle joue avec les exigences de la vie contemporaine, que ce soit à travers ses relations ou ses choix de vie, tout en conservant un certain mystère. Le contexte évoqué semble être celui des années 70, un moment où l’exubérance et la liberté d’expression sont à leur apogée. Les références aux lieux prestigieux et à des comportements rebelles reflètent une époque de transformation sociale et culturelle, où joie de vivre et introspection se côtoient. De cette façon, la chanson transmet l’image d'une femme qui ne se laisse jamais enfermer dans des stéréotypes, mais qui exprime tout son potentiel à travers son indépendance et son style de vie singulier.
