The Ballad of Melody Nelson - Placebo

«Pour l’amitié

L’amitié entre hommes et femmes

Impensable

Parce que, il y a toujours

Sous jacent

Le désir animal»

This is the story of Melody Nelson

Apart from me, no one

Ever took her in his arms

Under her thumb, ice in the sun

Oh, my Melody mine

Oh, my Melody mine

She was nothing but love, poor Melody Nelson

Her life was more said than done

But her days were numbered nil

Count fourteen falls

Fifteen on call

A baby tiger was Melody Nelson

Forever purring in the sun

Just as dangerous as a child with a gun

Shooting me down

Oh, my melody, my Melody Nelson

Still playing hurting games for fun

As adorable as dumb

Deaf to the sound

To what’s going down, down, down
