[Intro: Grace Jones & Paul Morley]

I first got introduced to your music with a song called "La vie en rose"

Oh, you're kidding! That's my first album

That was great

Uh-huh

Is that a special song to you?

That's a very special song to me

Oh, God, I cry every time I sing it

Yeah?

Yeah, it's that special

What's it mean to you?

Well it means, a lot of romance, and um

I had quite a few French lovers, so you know

So every time I sing it, I think about them

So lots of fond memories, then?

I'm—, yes—


[Chorus]

Slave! (Slave!)

Work to the rhythm (Work to the rhythm)

Dance to the rhythm (Dance to the rhythm)

Slave to the rhythm (Slave to the rhythm)

Annihilating the rhythm (Annihilating the rhythm)

Slave! (Slave!)

Work to the rhythm (Work to the rhythm)

Dance to the rhythm (Dance to the rhythm)

Slave to the rhythm (Slave to the rhythm)

Annihilating the rhythm (Annihilating the rhythm)


[Bridge]

Slave! (Work to the rhythm)

Annihilating the rhythm

Slave to the rhythm (Slave to the rhythm)

Slave to the rhythm (Slave to the rhythm)

Slave to the rhythm

Slave to the rhythm

Slave to the rhythm (Slave!)
