paroles de chanson Glitter in a Void - Torgny

Kaptein Sundstedt blir den eneste
Nordiske ræpresentant ved Atlanterhavsflyvningen
Han skal flyve sammen med den norske marineløitnant Kjell Nyegaard
De skal som passager ha med seg løitnants Nyegaards hustru
Madame Forzane, Paris' vakreste skuespillerinde
Og en toneangivende dame i millionbyens moteverden

Scandinavian
Ambivalent
Oil money
Privilege
Obsession
Progression
Confession AAAAaaaaaa

Bathroom Stall Confessional

Brave and gay
Married her name
And fucked the ambassador in the ass
Died a fighter pilot for France
In 1918, WW1 about to end
Only 25, scared, falling from the sky – shot down
The testimonial still hanging on Mother's wall:

MORT POUR LA FRANCE
HOMMAGE DE LA NATION
A LA MEMOIRE DE KJELL NYEGAARD
AUX MORTS DE LA GRANDE GUERRE
LA PATRIE RECONNAISSANTE
This ain't no dream
This is me, this is who I am
This is everything bacchanalian
Scandinavian by way of America America America America America

Nothing on this album is true
Nothing on this album is a lie
What's my in relationship with
Money, notoriety
Pussy, my mother, my daughter, the mother of daughter?
Alcohol, nature, literature, cocaine,
Skateboarding, the internet, my skin?
I'm a fucking grown up in diapers
I'm the the back catalogue of a major label
I'm a 2003 electronic press kit coming at you ugly
I'm a spiritual individual
I'm a perfect turd, absurd, out of step with the world

MDMA and granola
Big big big data and payola
Hungover I drink cola
I rock the pianola
Every like like a diploma
Put put put me in a coma
My Sharona
Punk stew aroma

Give me more heroin and Adorno in the monitor, please
And fuck touring!
I'd rather grow dreads on a remote island
Live with a guitar
Getting drunk in the bar
And let my dreads entwine with the guitar strap and become part of it
Music is a body part and fuck art
And love Jesus, feces
A blue fetus on the beach
And the stars at night...

To be a part of a scene...
Ever since I was fifteen
I've been longing for a scene
Sniffed your panties in a dream
Laissez-faire, lazy eye
I'm a sexy babe with a simple mind
I know Katy Perry lines, but I don't know any Shakespear
I know Coldplay songs, but I don't know Fellini
Haven't been there
Proletarian bliss – fuck this, fuck that
My dick is not subversive, my dick is class discursive
Come, come undone now!

From baby boomers to snowflakes:
Everyday is a press release
Send send send
Let's get digital, physical, get hip, get tipped
Baby scratch my itch, scroll and switch
I'm feeling kitsch!
Fuck this, just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Just scroll
Dont' twitch
We're just glitter in a void
Our bodies will be destroyed
Depressed, but overjoyed
Forzane was glitter in a void
Kjell was glitter in a void
I'm left with Google, IMDB, YouTube,
Renoir's NANA, and Once Upon A Time by Lagerfeld
I'm left with Grandmother's photo box:
Kjell sitting there in ballet shoes
No fucks given.
Fighter pilot and gay
I'm left with newspaper articles from late 1916:
The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune

Kjell Nyegaard of the French Flying Corps
And Capt. Hugo Sundstedt
The famous Swedish flyer
Have arrived here yesterday from France
On the steamship Espagne
Bent on making a transatlantic flight in an airplane next spring
Nyegaard is one of the well known French army birdmen
And among his encounters was one with Boelcke
In the air over the western front
Neither could gain enough advantage over the other to fire a shot
They circled about
Nyegaard above the German, for twenty minutes
The former said:
"Boelcke beckoned to me with his hand lo come down
And I beckoned to him to him to come up
It was a tie, and we both waved a farewell and parted

Nyegaard's specialty is handling the aeroplane in pursuit
Which means machine gun duelling
"I am a stunt flyer he said
"While the captain is a long distance flyer
Both have wanted to make the attempt
To cross the Atlantic for some time
And Nyegaard, who is a Norwegian
Obtained his discharge from the French flying corps
In order to come here and try it
But before Nyegaard left, he promised his wife
Considered by many the most beautiful actress in Paris
And a creator of Parisian styles
That he would take her with him on the cross-ocean flight

I Amerika berettes videre
At løitnant Nyegaard er privatsekretær
Hos den den norske minister i Paris
I begyndelsen av krigen lot løitnanten sig hverve i fremmedlegionen
Og blev saaret i et slag på vestfronten
Efter at han var kommet til kræfter igjen
Traadte han ind i flyverkorpset
Og blev under flyvningen to ganger let saaret

MORT POUR LA FRANCE
HOMMAGE DE LA NATION
A LA MEMOIRE DE KJELL NYEGAARD
AUX MORTS DE LA GRANDE GUERRE
LA PATRIE RECONNAISSANTE

Lieut. Nyegaard, who is only twenty-three years old
At the beginning of the war enlisted in the foreign legion
And was wounded in the right forearm at Dixmude
When the wound healed
He was made commander of a ski detachment in the Vosges
And was wounded in the left knee
Then he joined the flying corps
And had several accidents
The worst being when his gasoline tank burst
As he was 6000 feet up
He managed to bring the biplane down
But he could not control the direction when it neared the ground
And a wing hit a tree
He could not walk for seven months

Dear listener:
If I have you, I have to whole world
You and me
Dear listener, you woke up this morning
Maybe you had a cup of coffee
You're alive, you breathe, you're gonna be alive
For some more time on this earth
Ah, it's beautiful!
Beautiful to be alive!
Be alive
Dear listener:
If I die today, let them know that it was a fantastic ride
All the love
All the sight
All the feels
All the smells

COIN DE BAL:
ÉLÉGANCES D'HIER ET D'AUJOURD'HUI
M. de Montgomery et la princesse Jean de Broglie
Ont été l'objet d'ovations répétées
En interprétant la Fantaisie Américaine
Qui fut la note gaie de cette soirée
Au milieu du groupe
Le prince Aymond de Lucinge en grand costume
D'officier supérieur de la garde
Et à sa gauche
La princesse de Chimay en crinoline
Assis: le prince de Chimay et M. Nyegaard
Le séduisant berger des sylphides

Be alive
Be alive
