Nordiske ræpresentant ved Atlanterhavsflyvningen

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
