The Cribs – City of Bugs Lyrics 16 years ago
What a great band, they wipe the floor with all this faux rock nonsense. you can trust ole johnny Marr, i mean the man made the smiths for christ sake. I hope they don't make it big like kings of leon, but'll be happy if they do. This song is very important to this album. Though I think Its a strange place for the album. Its a bit stadium rock reverby for my taste. Though the lyrics are smashing, something you come to expect from the sainted Jarmans'.

Does anyone know how to get hold of a roses edition without traveling to yorkshire or portland?

Serge Gainsbourg – Cargo Culte Lyrics 16 years ago
know of the the magicians who call to jets
In the jungle of New Guinea
They scrutinize the zenith coveting the guineas
That the pillage of freight would bring them

On the sea of coral in the wake of this
Machine those creatures not deprived
Of reason those Papuans wait for vapour
The wreck of the Vice-count and that of the Comet

And as their totem hasn't ever been able to bring down
To their feet neither a Boeing nor even a D.C. four
They dream of hijacks and of bird accidents

Those naive shipwreckers armed with blowguns
Who sacrifice to the cargo cult
By blowing toward the azur and the airplanes.

Where are you Melody and your wrecked body
Is it haunting the archipeligo where the sirens live
Or well attatched to the cargo plane whose siren
Of alarm has become silent, did you stay

Adrift on the currents have you already touched
Those bright corals of the Guinean costs
Where those indiginous magicians act in vain
Who still hope for smashed planes

Having nothing more to lose nor a God in whom to believe,
So that they give me meaningless loves
I, like them, I prayed to the night cargo planes

And I hold onto that hope of an air
Disaster that would bring Melody back to me
A minor turned away from the gravity of the stars.

Serge Gainsbourg – En Melody Lyrics 16 years ago
Melody wanted to revisit the sky of Sunderland
She took the seven hundred seven, the night cargo plane
But the automatic pilot in command
Of the machine made a mistake fatal to Melody

Serge Gainsbourg – L'hôtel Particulier Lyrics 16 years ago
At fifty six, seven, eight, it doesn't matter,
X street, if you knock on the door,
First one knock, then three others, they let you in
Alone and sometimes even accompanied.

A servant, without speaking to you, leads you,
Stairs, hallways with no end follow each other
Decorated with baroque bronzes and gilded angels
With Aphrodites and Salomés.

If it's free, say you want forty four,
It's the room they call here `The Cleopatra'
Whose bed's rococo columns,
Are negros, carrying torches.

Among these naked slaves carved from ebony,
Who will be the silent witnesses to this scene,
While above the mirror reflects us,
Slowly I embrace Melody

Serge Gainsbourg – Ah! Melody Lyrics 16 years ago
Ah! Melody
You'll make me do
Stupid things
Hoo Hoo and ho
Piggyback on my back
Oh! Melody
You don't know what love is
You told me that
But is everything that you say true?

Ah! Melody
You'll make me do
Stupid things
Hoo hoo and ho
Piggyback on my back
Oh! Melody
If you lied to me I'll do
Something crazy
I don't know what I'll do to you

Serge Gainsbourg – Valse de Melody Lyrics 16 years ago
The sun is rare
And happiness too
Love ge-
ts lost throughout
Life

The sun is rare
And happiness too
But everything moves
In the arms of
Melody

The surrounding walls
Of the labyrinth
Open up on
The inifinite

The sun is rare
And happiness too
Love ge-
ts lost throughout
Life

The sun is rare
And happiness too
But everything moves
In the arms of
Melody

The surrounding walls
Of the labyrinth
Open up on
The inifinite

Serge Gainsbourg – Ballade de Melody Nelson Lyrics 16 years ago
This is the story
Of Melody Nelson
Who apart from myself no one
Ever took in their arms
That surprises you
But that's how it is

She had love
Poor Melody Nelson
Yeah, she had tons of it
But her days were numbered
Fourteen autumns
and fifteen summers

A little animal
That Melody Nelson
An adorable little girl
And such a delicious child
Who I only knew
For an instant

Oh! My Melody
My Melody Nelson
Lovable little idiot
You were the condition
Sine qua non
Of my reason.

Serge Gainsbourg – Melody Lyrics 16 years ago
The Rolls' wings brushed against poles
When despite myself off my path
We arrived my Rolls and I in a dangerous
Zone, an isolated place

Down there, on the hood of this Silver Ghost
From Nineteen hundred and ten moves forward like a scout
The silver Venus on the radiator
Whose light wings fly in advance.

High, disdainful, while the screaming
Radio covers the silence of the motor
She stares at the horizon and her mind elsewhere
Seems to ignore the sidewalks that I run over

Allies, dead ends and places
Where parking is illegal, an indifferent heart
She holds the reins of my twenty-six horse power

Princess of shadows, cursed arc angel
Amazone in modern style that the sculpter
In English, named Spirit of Ecstasy

And so I was messing around before losing
Control of the Rolls. I moved forward slowly
My car swerved and a violent thud
Tore me suddenly from my daydreams. Shit!

I saw a bicycle tire up ahead,
That continued to roll freely,
And like a doll that looses its balance
Her skirt pulled up on her white pants

"What's your name?"
"Melody"
"Melody what?"
"Melody Nelson"

Melody Nelson has red hair
And it's her natural color.
