For many years I thought the chorus to this song was ‘C’est la vie came washing over me’* which sounded odd in both English and French, the two elements just don’t work as a sentence. However, despite my bemusement at the Manics poor language skills, I sang along to it. Often loudly. Tonight I realised my mistake, it’s actually ‘Tsunami came washing over me’, which makes much more sense, especially when you consider it is the title of the song. But if you listen to it, doesn’t it sound much closer to my interpretation?
* That’s life came washing over me. BTW, I was unsure where to place the asterisk there. Should it be inside, or outside the apostrophes?
I appreciate you dropping by,
