FIGHT BACK

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumping cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the world with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little angel
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little angel
she want more
More, more, more, more.

SO THEY HAVE CROWNED ME KING. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE OTHER KINGS IN FRANCE

And other great yves-isms...



"First nights at the theater...life on a yacht -- all things like that belong to a society that no longer means anything...a society that is no longer a la mode. The Social Ladies are no longer significant."
1968

"I have always done black. I don't do `message' couture."
1968

"In the future, men and women will dress more and more alike. I want to create clothes for women like men's clothes."
1968

"The drama is that there are so many stupid rich people. Luxury - so few know how to use it and make it respectable."
1970

"I want to see elegant women...women aware that they are women. Finished are the hippie things...all those bits of folklore...those scarves. The street is terrifying now. Horrible."
1970

"Look at all that advertising - you must buy these shoes to go with this bag to go with that belt. Such advertising takes people for imbeciles. The results? The young don't shop in the big stores anymore."
1970

"I did not think that in a profession as free as fashion that one could meet so many people so narrow-minded and reactionary, petty people paralyzed by taboos. But I am also very stimulated by this scandal because I know that which shocks is new."
February 1971, reaction to universally scathing reviews of his spring couture collection

"The challenge is to make a raincoat that looks just as good on a girl of 15 as on a woman of 60."
1971

"Pants are simply not important anymore. There are only jeans today."
1976

"Maybe I am ill, but are you so well every day of the year?"
1977, denying published reports that he was too ill to design his own collection

"I have said before that the most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy."
1978

"The more ideas you have, the worse it is."
1978

"Humor is the vital element. My message is humor combined with total refinement."
1978

"For me, `Porgy and Bess' is the epitome of the American spirit. It is modern, sexy, amusing and full of gaiety."
1978, after creating the "Broadway Suit" collection

I am not a young lion now, I am an old lion. Perhaps a fox."
1980

"The one thing I lack in my life is to live. In my youth, I never discovered life. Life is to be lived when one is young, and truly, I've never lived."
1978

"I remember when trousers were shaped like trumpets [bell-bottoms]. Perhaps, it was amusing at the time as a fashion, but styles like this are gimmicks, they are not real and cannot last. Classics continue all the time because they have style, not `fashion."'
1981

"There is no world that is refined that is not also melancholy."
1983

"People think decadence is debauched. Decadence is simply something very beautiful that is dying. It's a beautiful flower that is dying, and sometimes you have to wait a very long time for another flower to come along."
1986

"It may not succeed, but it will have an effect."
describing his 1986 fall couture collection.

"What a woman needs is a black turtleneck sweater, a straight skirt and a man to love her."
1989

"I've worked all my life to found a fashion house worthy of France. I did so without concession or compromise."
1993, upon selling the house to Sanofi

"I'm happy to be copied, otherwise I wouldn't be doing my job well."
1998


YSL: couturier and philospher... formidable

RETROSPECTIVE

"Fashion was not only supposed to make women beautiful, but to reassure them, to give them confidence, to allow them to come to terms with themselves," Yves Saint Laurent
