The English actress, singer and model Birkin attained international fame for her decade-long musical and romantic partnership with Serge Gainsbourg. One of their most famous songs is ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” which was released in 1969 and caused an enormous scandal because of its sexual explicitness.
I guess we all know and love the cover version of ”Je t'aime... moi non plus” that Brian recorded for Dimitri Tikovoi's music project Trash Palace with Italian actress, singer and model Asia Argento in 2002. That's by the way an interesting similarity between the two women, isn't it?

📢 ”Working with her was more than an honour. She has a dignity, a presence and incredible generosity. She is very English, but as a lady, actually. For me, she is like a member of the royal family.”
(Start Up n°110, Mars 2006 )

📢 "Oh no! He knows Serge songs, he has already made a version of Melody Nelson, he played my part in a version of Je t'Aime Moi Non Plus. It's a very well-read boy, very clever. I thought only the French were so careful with the words, as with the English we just have to understand the title and we can dance. Brian Molko wrote a very strong, sassy song, in which he often has the cunning as Cole Porter, to throw a word on the next verse. Even my mother was absolutely delighted with the keeness of the thing: it is not a reverent song."

Don't stare at your face
With your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly
So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
Don't mess with your man
When he's selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don't curse at a whore
As you open the door
coz your service wont be with a smile
So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
Don't sneer at your doctor
And Gamble & Procter
Coz they're just pawns in the game
The perfect prescription is one that you're given
it's filled out in jesus' name
Don't be scared of your preacher
Coz hes just a leech
Hes too busy cruising your ass
Theres a verse in the bible
That says we're all liable
For everything that comes to pass
So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile...
