Gainsbourg, Serge - Melody Lyrics
Les ailes de la Rolls effleuraient des pylônes
Quand m'étant malgré moi égaré
Nous arrivâmes ma Rolls et moi dans une zone
Dangereuse, un endroit isolé
De dix-neuf cent dix s'avance en éclaireur
La Vénus d'argent du radiateur
Dont les voiles légers volent aux avant-postes
Hautaine, dédaigneuse, tandis que hurle le poste
De radio couvrant le silence du moteur
Elle fixe l'horizon et l'esprit ailleurs
Semble tout ignorer des trottoirs que j'accoste
Ruelles, culs-de-sac aux stationnements
Elle tient le mors de mes vingt-six chevaux-vapeurs
Prince des ténèbres, archange maudit
Amazone modern' style que le sculpteur
En anglais, surnomma Spirit of Ecstasy
Ainsi je déconnais avant que je ne perde
Le contrôle de la Rolls. J'avançais lentement
Ma voiture dériva et un heurt violent
Me tira soudain de ma rêverie. Merde!
J'aperçus une roue de vélo à l'avant
Qui continuait de rouler en roue libre
Et comme une poupée qui perdait l'équilibre
La jupe retroussée sur ses pantalons blancs
"Tu t'appelles comment?
- Melody
- Melody comment?
- Melody Nelson"
Melody Nelson a des cheveux rouges
Et c'est leur couleur naturelle

Les ailes de la Rolls effleuraient des pylônes
Quand m'étant malgré moi égaré
Nous arrivâmes ma Rolls et moi dans une zone
Dangereuse
Un endroit isolé
Là-bas, sur le capot de cette Silver Ghost de 1910
S'avance en éclaireur
La Vénus d'argent du radiateur
Dont les voiles légers volent aux avant-postes
Hautaine, dédaigneuse
Tandis que hurle le poste de radio
Couvrant le silence du moteur
Elle fixe l'horizon
Et l'esprit ailleurs
Semble tout ignorer des trottoirs que j'accoste
Ruelles, culs-de-sac
Aux stationnements interdits par la loi
Le cœur indifférent
Elle tient le mors de mes vingt-six chevaux-vapeur
Princesse des ténèbres, archange maudit
Amazone modern style que le sculpteur, en anglais
Surnomma "Spirit of Ecstasy"
Ainsi je déconnais avant que je ne perde
Le contrôle de la Rolls
J'avançais lentement
Ma voiture dériva
Et un heurt violent
Me tira soudain de ma rêverie
Merde!
J'aperçus une roue de vélo à l'avant
Qui continuait de tourner en roue libre
Et comme une poupée qui perdait l'équilibre
La jupe retroussée sur ses pantalons blancs
"Tu t'appelles comment?"
"Melody"
"Melody comment?"
"Melody Nelson"
Melody Nelson a les cheveux rouges
Et c'est leur couleur naturelle
Du pur Serge Gainsbourg. Inspiré du livre de Nabukov, Lolita... Je crois. Il maestro.
masterpiece. can trace the huge influence on Air`s music.
I´m thinking the same thing
That bass tone. My god.
the great herbie flowers. Brings magic to every recording he's on. An absolute masterclass in groovy bass lines.
@SuperCunt5000 Presque c'est Dave Richmond qui contrairement à ce qu'on a toujours cru officie à la quatre cordes
Girl, interrupted
That bassline.
I came from before the days of people prefacing their sentence with: “I came from _______” . So.... since I just said it, ill say it more: I came from the days where I just wanna hear this particular song again while driving through the canyons with my dog in my convertible whilst I enjoy the sunshine. I am going to Mulholland doggy park where I will be listening to the song again. I will walk up to strangers in the park and preface my conversations with “I came from.....” and I will make up a new lie every time. To one group of people I will say “I came from Walgreens”, next group: “I came from Beaverland”, next group: “I came from a cult”, next group: “I came from Black Rock City”, and I will just repeat this ALL DAY LONG. Even if I’m talking to a different group of strangers and someone already heard me before. Would you like to know WHY I am doing this? It is all because “I CAME FROM THE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL DOWN THE STREET”.
Comment ça se fait que cet album ne soit pas disponible sur Spotify?
oui ils l'ont ajoutés longtemps après les autres. 1 ou 2 semaines après ton commentaire XD.
Beck brought me here.
This shit is classic
I am always in a good mood to listen to Serge. This song shows his great voice without doubt. And the groove is sensational.
go there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruQ7vqhja5M
WOW, just heard this...amazing! I have to say I heard "Paper Tiger" by Beck first but think it might be a little of a rip off of this song. The orchestration, and progression and really everything (other than the language or spoken word delivery). Anyone else catch that?
I think beck said at one point paper tiger was an homage to Serge Gainsbourg
The use of strings in this song and Beck's Paper Tiger are eerily similar. There was definitely inspiration taken from Gainsbourg.
La crême
I came from the French experiment ..
Moi aussi
This song was probably responsible for a lot of babies back in the day...
I have a friend who's called Melody because of what you said.
Came across this song in a deep black hole searching through Apple Music and I’m so glad I did. The groove at the beginning of the track is everything. Holy shit don’t get me wrong the whole song is great but there’s so much more to explore on that groove in the beginning.
Karmacoma Portishead experience, if you want to take a listen
Certainly his masterpiece (with L'homme à la tête de chou). The only artist able to make french sound great, and bold enough for musical experimentation (like oriental cords mixed with electric guitar). Sorry to say, but understanding french is compulsory if you want to really appreciate Gainsbourg. His lyrics are unique, often imitated but still unequaled
jossyDread I can appreciate this song and don’t speak French. Just love the groove.
not the only artist able to make french sounds great
I came from incell. me
I came from Mark Ribblets channel
Bienvenue ! Very good selection from our beloved loop daddy.
Yawn...
So good I named my daughter after it
✌️
Lol i was waiting for this comment...
Fuck yeah brother
... do you understand the lyrics?? Lol
My dad plays in the strings section, he played the viola. Jean-Claude Vannier is the magnifiscent orchestrator.
Your father is a legend.
I play Air Drums on this one frequently...me, a legend...nah...just a groover
@OH_I _Will 1234
Dave Richmond on bass...superb. or was it Herbie? Either way superb.
But did he fuck melody
Who's the guitar player on this record?
Alan Parker and Big Jim Sullivan
Alan Parker

Du lourd ce son ma préféré de gainsbourg
The Beatnuts - Superbad!!!
est ce un jimmy page qui joue sur ce morceau ?
Alan Parker
Cool Bastard!
Great song for Valentines Day
classy af
Stefan Burnett I know, right?
Seriously, great song. But did anyone else catch that massive camel toe on that beauty??
It's Jane Birkin who was about to become Serge's wife.
At that time, Serge was surrounded by many beauties like Brigitte Bardot, Mireille Darc and others... Jane wanted to become his wife, she was so proud of him.
Anyone know of any songs similar to this? Slow groove with French spoken word?
Maybe you'd like "28° à l'ombre" ?
try "L'hotel particulier"
benjamin biolay's album La Superbe
Paper Tiger by Beck brought me here.
Not really, I just wanted to point the Beck ripoff.
It was a homage to Serge, not a rip off.
Charlotte Gainbougs voice sounds just like her mother's!
The strings are totally amazing
+Fran Seraph Yes. and so are the drums. Drums remind me of the similarly laid back but bloody clever drumming in some Fun Loving Criminal songs
love this song.
Loooooove the groove in this. It's so perfect.
