Tous les garcons et les filles de mon age - they're all going about

les mains dans les mains

but

je vais seule.

I'm sure there'll be a site with her lyrics somewhere - I'm scratching at the limits of memory here!

All Over the World was a minor hit in English for her.   She had a song which she performed in English as "If We Are Only Friends" and in French as "Ton Meilleur Ami".

There was a song she did, "La Maison Ou J'ai Grandi". I don't know whether that was a song she wrote to someone else's tune, but the tune also turned up on a song called "Tar and Cement" (going back to look at an old haunt and finding that it's 'nothing but acres of tar and cement').

I don't know that her sound was unmusical. Naive, certainly. Shirley Collins and Nico had that same naive sound, but Francoise Hardy had a talent for writing songs - simple enough, teen love and angst, but I still find them haunting in retrospect. I think I'll go and see if I can dig some out . . .
