1971: Pre-dating Nick Cave, Portishead and about a dozen other bands by about 15 years, Serge Gainsbourg takes time off from writing filthy pop songs and comes up with this; a filthy concept album about an old man who runs over a young girl and gets all poetical about it. Dig. 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. Haughty, disdainful, while the radio Screams covering the motors silence She stares at the horizon and her mind elsewhere Seems to be unaware of the sidewalks I run over Alleys, dead-ends and no parking Zones, an indifferent heart She holds the reins of my twenty-six horse power Princess of shadows, cursed archangel Modern style Amazon that the sculptor 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 kept on spinning, And like a doll that loses its balance Her skirt pulled up on her white underpants Whats your name? Melody Melody what? Melody Nelson Melody Nelson has red hair And its her natural color.
