Le Voyou, also known as The Crook, is a highly stylized French action movie which follows Simon the Swiss during his largest heist. Directed by Claude Lelouch in 1970, and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, the movie makes use of several cinematic techniques to convey the elusive nature of the title character, among them are: a circular narrative, dialogue littered with conflicting statements, flashbacks, musical montage, multiple styles of film editing, misaligned sound editing, and a movie within the movie.
The film won the David di Donatello for Best Foreign Direction in 1971.
Verse 1:
A thought in my head, I think
Of something to do
Expressions tell everything
I see one on you
Chorus:
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, my love she comes in colors
You can tell her from the clothes she wears
Verse 2:
When I was invisible
I needed no light
You saw right through me, you said
Was I out of sight?

Verse 3:
When I was in England town
The rain fell right down
I looked for you everywhere
'Til I'm not around
[repeat chorus]
