(We've lost today the notion of handsome guys
_____
When are they gonna bring out good-looking guys
_____
Or stunning girls
_____
I mean, do you hang a Hoshi poster in your room, you
_____
That girl's talented, really
_____
But she should hand her songs to gorgeous girls)
_____
What's this musical era
_____
Where we have to listen to those with talent
_____
Who've got guts, who've got b*lls, who've got hunger
_____
Those little writers, annoying guitar strummers
_____
Us, what we want is beauty, is brilliance
_____
It's clean, it's smooth, it's sublime
_____
Us, what we want is the comeback of pretty faces
_____
To fill the glossy pages of magazines
_____
What's this musical era
_____
Where we listen to the lyrics of songs
_____
We've lost the notion of handsome males
_____
The time when we launched very handsome boys
_____
You can write lyrics, that's great
_____
But your little voice tone, we don't care
_____
Please, go give your songs
_____
To the one who'll look prettier on the poster
_____
We need beautiful people
_____
We need beautiful people
_____
(These days we've neglected the role of the handsome singer
_____
Today, the people who succeed, who make careers
_____
Are all those who strum a bit of guitar, who play piano)
_____
Sir, you who want to go back
_____
To black and white, to the golden days of the past
_____
I'm not sure the great Charles Aznavour
_____
Could match your criteria for success
_____
I'm not convinced that Édith Piaf
_____
Had nice long legs
_____
That she was gonna strut down fancy catwalks
_____
Wearing big-brand platform heels
_____
Sir, you who's nostalgic
_____
For well-built singers, for bimbos
_____
You've gotta know an important secret
_____
It's that Brassens didn't have nice abs
_____
Singer-songwriters
_____
Aren't necessarily imposters
_____
You know sir, sometimes you gotta shut up
_____
Me, I wanna see Hoshi on a poster
_____
We need beautiful people
_____
We need beautiful people
