from "Historie de Melody Nelson" 1971 TV special. Video 1 of 7 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. (translation from http://www.eggparm.com/gainsbourg/monproprerolecontents.html#Melody)
