VENUS - White star line

extrait de welcome to the modern dance hall

On the sun-deck, a lord looks at the foam
Drinks champagne, eats Belouga, the nigth's long
It's quiet, icebergs pass along
There is no wind, says a lady but it's cold

On the below-deck the people dream of something
From tables lit by white candies
What are you doing here ? I am lost, says a boy
I can't sleep, says the other, it's so warm

Slowly, with a sight, the fickness of fate
Ripped open the hull, tearing it parently
Ice blade cleaves the iron, it's time to drown our sins
In a delicate screeching, iron tears

The sun-deck shivers, the bellow-deck screams
Water is gushing up without invitation
Swallowing up mouths, swallowing up noses
And the dreams and the candles
We should have eaten when it was warm

Tonight there's no wind, the oecean is calm and quiet
It's waiting, waiting catching its breath
It's true it could rain
But quietly the sea is waiting for its children
The howling sea

Do you hear ?
I hear nothing
Save our souls, save our souls, help us Marconi, help us
I'm gonna swim straight ahead
Row, Mc Cawley, row
Mayday, mayday, mayday

The below-deck is floaded, the machines have stopped
And the lord, slighty troubled, slowly swallows the finest Calvados

Save our souls
Pray for my bones
