Max

One of Georges Brassens' best known songs.

Public benches are not there for you or I to sit on; nor for the elderly nor the disabled.

There are there so that young lovers may hold hands and dream of the life they will have when they are happily married.

They will have azure blue wallpaper in the bathroom. He will wear his slippers and smoke his pipe (the song was written in the 50's).

The young lovers do not realise, as they kiss an cuddle on the public benches, (to the disgusted glances of respectable passers-by such as you and I) that they are already having the best time of their life.
