Its set out like a song
with a refrain - "I'm in
Paris with you" - this
shows that he doesn't
want to think about
the past only the
present
Half rhymes
The half rhyme of "Elysees"
and "Sleazy" emphaseses the
contrast - maybe between his
two lovers
Colloquial Language
the use of normal language
"downed a drink" makes a comic
effect on the poetic theme of love
in the poem - shows he thinks love
is a joke
Teasing
the narrator of the poem is teasing the person he is with by
making everything about her body rather than her feelings -
emphasises this by saying "am I embaressing you?"
Rhymes
"wounded" and "maroonded"
ephasises his pain - maroonded is a
made up word - makes it seem like a
joke
Metaphors
The hotel room is portayed as sleazy
and falling apart "hotel walls are
peeling" - metaphor for who he's with
he makes her seem worse
by lisiting the bad things
and saying "and I'm in paris
with you"
Negative
overall there is a negative feeling to the poem -
suggests he is really upset about his previous
relationship
Sarcastic
"we" in italics suggests a sarcastic tone -
the first mention of someone else isnt
serious
