Billie Marten - Toulouse Lyrics
He sits down and rolls his tongue in his mouth
They get up and start rolling around
He puts his arm on her and they walk out
And I sit and watch might everything down
Short and funny-looking
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
Tendency for absinthe
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
One Toulouse
I live now as a small-town lady
Nights are fine when I remember they pay me
We can talk but I'm not your baby
And he passes out sometime around 3
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
Short and funny-looking
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
Tendency for absinthe
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
One Toulouse
We have the makers and the movers
The lifeguards and the gardeners who are
Killing time like big
Spilling on his paper
The old boys with the new girls
The lovers with the half-pipes
And the solos, the wolves, the men
Like Toulouse, oh Toulouse
Short and funny-looking
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
Tendency for absinthe
Oh Toulouse, no Toulouse
One Toulouse

Billie Marten Toulouse Comments
does anyone know how to play this? it’s driving me insane
Its beautiful girl song
i was born in toulouse, this album fits me
Toulouse would be so happy to have you for a concert <3
my cats name is toulouse uwu
Ok so idk if it’s super obvious but I was thinking: the song is about losing someone right?? So does Toulouse means “ To Lose”???? Like “ohhh to looooooseeee oh to loooose” or am I just crazy hahahahaha
It's the name of a middle sized French city in case you did not know, but often used by foreigners as a play on words as well so... Maybe!
Léya oh yeah I knew it was a city!!! Was just wondering if it had that double meaning
I thought it was about Toulouse-Lautrec)))

I was just walking down Toulouse street in New Orleans and I got robbed. True story. Love and hate that place.
This entire album is so enchanting and I love it :,)

And I sit and watch might everything down

I love how hypnotic and entrancing this song is. Thank you for this experience
if she didn't sing this in toulouse im going to be angry
Toulouse, France? or
Love how the percussion sounds like it's behind me ❤
This song sounds like it's about a pet of hers, possibly a pony. Don't know why, but a baby horse seems fitting.
Billie´s explanation “I moved to London and felt pretty lost so I got myself a job at a pub. I told people I was there to write, but I didn’t get anything for a really long time. It was too busy and present to reflect on anything. This song came one day, I didn’t like it at first because it wasn’t out of the ordinary and the structure and melody is so predictable, but like the pub, it didn’t need to get fancy and elaborate. I wrote it from a spectator’s view – you see a lot more from the other side of the bar. Feeling like the artist Toulouse Lautrec (I’ve always loved his work) who was painting dancers in late night joints, I felt like I had to depict these characters somehow. I liked ‘Toulouse’ sounding like ‘To lose’ too – tyres a definite communal defeatism in that place but somehow the community itself survives on each other’s insecurities and weakness and that is enough to feel like you are a part of this world. I liked talking about other people for a change.”
Thank you for the explanation.
@Nelson Dias Thank you so much!
