Great lyrics.
Reminded me of that old German ad for English classes:

It pleases me that you put up the collaboration version, rather than the "official" Indochine release - IIRC it was Placebo's record label that forbade it at the time

Didn't know that. Do you know there's also an English version? The lyrics are different though, that's not a translation of the French version. As far as I've heard Brian was correcting the Eng version))
You like Placebo? I'm not a fan tbh,just listened to a couple of songs (and still shocked by the French text of that one that you posted ), but I love Indochine for many years

Always a fan of Placebo, but I wouldn't claim to much more than "broadly familiar" with Indochine. Non-anglophone bands have a hard time of things in the UK, much more so than the other way around - probably down to simple volume of choice.
Whilst everyone was arguing "Blur or Oasis" I was sitting there quite liking both, but more interested in comparing Placebo and Suede

My memory was that Molko wrote Pink Water for Indochine, but the labels wouldn't let him feature on it - but memory is absolutely fallible.
I know there's a #1, #2 and #3 of Pink Water, but not if any are purely in English.

As a fan of Placebo, the text of that B-side above isn't all that shocking; it's the juxtaposition with the music itself - I love songs with that weird disconnect that feel like they'd mean something completely different if you weren't listening to the lyrics themselves - other examples being, famously "Every Breath You Take"; or Hate by Cinerama


ETA:


ETA2: given that you also seem to like the Pixies (there don't seem to be many of us):


And whilst I'm on a Placebo trip - I love this slightly unexpected collaboration:
