Some of the songs also come with in English versions though sometimes it just all sounds better in French, it has a certain je ne sais quoi? Though as my French ability is limited to a grade D GCSE gained 23 years ago (when GCSEs meant something obviously) i don't really have much of a clue what she is singing about.
The English version of, say, "Mignonette" (the lovely "No parachute") i can understand obviously though the lyrics have been written to fit an existing tune so are a bit... odd. But it all doesn't matter and you know why? Because this is a soundtrack to an alternative future, where we drink space age cocktails sitting in oddly shaped chairs in an underground bar somewhere, on the Moon.
"Nothing new" makes a little more sense, a slow song with a slightly menacing synth and string led melody.
