    Leave it to the French to simply ignore a whole syllable in the middle of the word.

In the streets of shame Where you’ve lost your dreams in the rain There’s no signs of hope The stems and seeds of the last of the dope There’s a glow of light The Saint Jimmy is the spark in the night Bearing gifts and trust A fixture in the city of lust

I wouldn’t mind that at all lol has a nice ring to it. But I would feel insulted if I don’t get treated well in a city where I’m a saint.
