Charles Baudelaire |
Boutonnat |
- The song is the adaptation of the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire in Les Fleurs du mal. Very throbbing and gloomy, the music begins and ends with the sound of a clock pendulum, as well as cries of a baby. The words evoke the passage of time which leads to death. A male voice said repeatedly : "Souviens-toi".
- It was performed during the 1989 tour and never on television.

"Jardin de Vienne" |
5:17 |
Farmer |
Boutonnat |
- This melancholy song begins with a few notes of Richard Wagner's opera Tannhäuser. The text is both poetic and naive. In it, Farmer discovers a little boy who hanged himself in a garden of Vienna. In the refrain, the death is seen as a release.
- It was performed during the 1989 tour, but never on television.

"The Farmer's Conclusion" |
2:15 |
— |
Boutonnat |
- This instrumental song contains many cries of animals mixed with sighs of Farmer. The title refers to the pseudonym chosen by the singer ("Farmer" means "fermière" in French language) and is a humorous reply to journalists who sometimes give her that name in a literal way.
- It was never performed on stage, nor on television.
