| Song | L'Hôtel |
| Artist | Michael Stipe |
| Album | Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited |
| At 56-7-8-9...It doesn't matter | |
| Of a well-known secret street, if you knock on the door | |
| First once then three more knocks, you're let inside | |
| Alone and sometimes even not alone | |
| A maid, without saying a word, walk in front of you | |
| With stairs, endless hallways, come one after another | |
| Decorated with baroque bronzes, golden angels | |
| Aphrodites and Salomés | |
| If it's not already occupied, say that you want the 44 | |
| It's the room that here they call "Cleopatra's" | |
| On the columns of its bed, standing watch, rococo-style | |
| Statues holding torches gaze below | |
| And between these slaves, naked, carved with ebony | |
| Who will be the silent witness of the scene | |
| While above a mirror reflects us | |
| Slowly I embrace Melody | |
