Jamie must be proficient in French, Ive noticed it in the lyrics of their songs too.

Allright. French is my mother tongue.
First, there we go with this part:
It’s ‘histroic de la famile
It’s l’histroic de la FAM
Histroic and FAM are unnexistant words.
BUT two others words are totaly making sense, first about the pronounciation, and second, the meaning:
Its l'histoire de la famille(Thats the history of the familly)
It's l'histoire de la femme(Thats the history of the woman"but in the sentence would mean, women in general).
And the rest is quite obvious, Je t'aime the valley , je t'aime means I love you.

i thought FAM meant "femme" too but it's an abbreviation of "family" jamie's dad used to use.

I don't know, but I'm guessing it reflects the more natural feel this album is going for. I remember Jamie saying in an interview that this album has very little electronics in at, as opposed to the super-electro-poppy FABULOUS MUSCLES. Maybe "LA FORET" has something to do with these "hairless sounds" Jamie mentions, too? I could be totally wrong. I probably am.

It's a long shot, but it may be a reference to the Cure song "A Forest," which is a really cool song, and we know Jamie likes the Smiths and Joy Division, so he probably likes early Cure too....

Yeah that's classic Cure. Sounds as likely as anything.
Somebody needs to ask him at a show or something.
