Léo Ferré (24 August 1916 – 14 July 1993) was a Monegasque poet, composer and a dynamic and controversial live performer whose career in France dominated the years after the Second World War until his death. He released some forty albums over this period, composing the music and the majority of the lyrics. He released many hit singles, particularly between 1960 and the mid-seventies. Some of his songs have become classics of the French chanson repertoire, such as Avec le temps, C’est extra, Jolie Môme or Paris canaille.
Along with Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens, he is considered one of the greatest French language singer-songwriters of all time, but unlike Brel and Gainsbourg, or even Charles Aznavour, his songs are very little known in the English-speaking world. Ferré was an anarchist; he may be the greatest French protest singer ever.
Ferré’s lyrics were extremely incisive and tuned in to the issues of the day, but also astonishingly poetic. He mixed revolt with love and melancholy, sophisticated lyricism with slang and shouts, rhyming verse with prose monologues. He moved from music-hall to symphonic music and spoken word, breaking free from the traditional song structure, inventing his own musical territory, powerfully dramatic and unique. He also popularized the French poètes maudits, such as François Villon, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, and Arthur Rimbaud, as well as great French poets from the 20th century like Guillaume Apollinaire and Louis Aragon, by setting into music many of their poems.

Graine D'ananar
La vie m'a doublé
C'est pas régulier
Pour un pauv' lézard
Qui vit par hasard
Dans la société
Mais la société
Faut pas s'en mêler
J'suis un type à part
Un' grain' d'ananar
On m'dit qu'j'ai poussé
En d'ssous d'un gibet
Où mon grand-papa
Balançait déjà
Avec un collier
Un collier tressé
De chanvre il était
Un foutu foulard
A gueul' d'ananar
J'avais des copains
Qui mangeaient mon pain
Car le pain c'est fait
Pour êtr' partagé
Dans notr' société
C'est pas moi qui l'dis
Mais c'est Jésus-Christ
Un foutu bavard
A gueul' d'ananar
Si j'avais des sous
On m'd'manderait: "" Où
Les as-tu gagnés
Sans avoir trimé
Pour la société? "
Si j'en avais pasj'en ai pas
Faut lui dir' pourquoi
C'est jamais peinard
La grain' d'ananar
On m'dit qu'c'est fini
J'vous l'dit comme on l'dit
Et qu'on me pendra
Au nom de la loi
Et d'la société
D'la bell' société
Qui s'met à s'mêler
De mettre au rancart
La grain' d'ananar
Potence d'oubli
L'oiseau fait son nid
Messieurs les corbeaux
Passeront ma peau
Comme à l'étamis
Mais auparavant
J'aurai comm' le vent
Semé quelque part
Ma grain' d'ananar
