Une grande claque de Poulpy dans tes oreilles !

Les paroles d'une chanson forte intéressante, à la mélodie magnifique. On la trouve sur le cd "Welcome to the modern dance hall" 1999 et on la retrouve en live, encore plus envoutante en version symphonique, dans l'album "The man who was already dead" 2000.

Venus, c'est un groupe belge créé en 1997. Leur dernier album "The red room" est sortit il y a quelques mois de cela,  ils entament une tournée, et seront le 12 décembre a la MAISON DE LA CULTURE de la magnifique ville de Poulpy (AMIENS).

WHITE STAR LINE

On the sun-deck, a lord looks at the foam
Drinks champagne, eats Belouga, the night's long
It's quiet, icebergs pass along
There's no wind, says a lady, but it's cold
On the below-deck, the people dream of something
From tables lit by white candles
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 sigh, the fickelness of fate
Ripped open the hull, tearing it patiently
Ice blade cleaves the iron, it's time to drown our sins
In a delicate screeching, iron tears
The sun-deck shivers, the below-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 ocean 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 machine have stopped
And the lord, slightly troubled, slowly swallows the finest Calvados
Save our souls
Pray for my bones
