"글램 록의 황홀한 세계에 대한 찬가". "자신의 정체성의 운명을 심미적인 자기 발견으로 뒤바꿔낸 시대를 향한 기억의 파노라마". 글램 록(glam rock)의 모든 것을 한 장의 음반으로. [선댄스 영화제] 출신의 젊은 감독 토드 헤인즈가 메가폰을 잡은 [벨벳 골드마인]은 '70년대 초반 영국을 뒤흔든 글램의 전성시대를 스크린을 통해 조명한 영화다. 눈이 부실 정도의 깃털 의상과 성별을 구별할 수 없을 정도의 진한 화장이 시세포를 강타한다. 글램의 기치가 비주얼에 있는 것처럼 영화도 다분히 자극적이다. 하지만 본격 음악 영화를 표방한 만큼 코어가 음악에 있는 것은 당연하다. 글램 록 무브먼트를 견인했던 브라이언 이노, T-렉스, 루 리드, 록시 뮤직의 명작들이 오리지널 혹은 리메이크로 실려 있다. 이 가운데 T-렉스의 곡을 재해석한 브릿 팝 밴드 플라시보의 '20th Century Boy'와 록시 뮤직의 'Virginia Plain'이 우선적으로 눈에 들어온다. 이 영화의 사운드트랙을 위해 즉석에서 톰 요크와 버나드 버틀러에 의해 가동된 밴드 비너스 인 퍼스(벨벳 언더그라운드의 곡 제목이기도 하다)와 와일드 래츠의 곡들도 실려 있다. 두 그룹의 곡을 영화상에서는 배우 조나단 라이스 마이어스와 이완 맥그리거가 직접 노래했다. 비교해 듣는 재미가 있다. 글램 록이 어떻게 발원했고 어떻게 흘러갔는지 맥을 잡고자 하는 사람들이라면 반드시 보고 들어야 할 영화다. .... ....
Those who know They don't let it show They just give you one long glance And you'll go oh, oh, oh, oh.
Goes to show How winds blow The weather's fine And I feel so, so, so, so, so.
Birds of Prey With too much to say Oh what could be my destiny Another rainy day. Why ask why For by the by and by, All mysteries are just more Needles in the camel's eye

Got tired of wastin' gas Living above the planets Mister, show me the way to Earth The boys of Quadrant 44 With their vicious metal hounds Never come round here no more Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive I'm six feet down at age 25 Maxwell's led the demon rock hand jive
I came down like water For the age of solar love And hail to the father Kiss your sons and daughters Goodbye, goodbye Steam scared and roller Ladytron controller Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
Despite the great duress Always get off, cause damn it, It's the only surefire way to win Your poison doesn't hurt me no, tender wine disguised in a milk bath, bad TV show. I'm here to celebrate the one below Last I heard from good god above Was the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove!
I came down like water For the age of solar love And hail to the father Kiss your sons and daughters Goodbye, goodbye Steam scared and roller Ladytron controller Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile, you were born for stardom's crown and not for self denial, so don't you close the door on fate, when she comes to call, and tell her that you'll join her there, at the masqueraders ball, funny how some people never love at all...
We'll take the whole shebang, all or nothing, anything, ecstasy's the birthright of our gang We'll take the whole shebang, free your heart of guilt and shame, come and claim what's yours the whole shebang
Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner my dear except for contemplations evil, brother, known as fear but love is extraterrestrial, and love falls from the stars, like Maxwell Demon's silver disc into this world of ours,
Kick up your heels and paint your face, wave goodbye to yesteryear, we could sway in outer space from the chandelier Woe, sometimes it breaks my heart to hide my tears
You´ve got me girl on the run around run around You´ve got me all around town You´re got me girl on the run around And it´s getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover Then you look no further For I´m gonna be your only Searching at the start of the season And my only reason Is that I´ll get to you
I´ll find some way of connection Hiding my intention Then I´ll move up close to you I´ll use you and I´ll confuse you And the I´ll lose you But still you won´t suspect me
We are the boys and we are a class act we're getting trashed So make some noise We are the boys
We are the lads We're street wit swags We need their fags We got no choice We are the boys
We are the boys and we don't ask why because we're alive we are the boys
We are the boys We're in the place so shut your face you've got no choice We are the boys
We are the guys we're getting high while you're getting by so just make some noise
We are the boys and we don't ask why 'cause we're always right because we're alive and we are the boys
We are the boys and don't look now 'cause we're coming down to make new noise 'cause we are the boys
Now we are the men and that was then it won't happen again but we had no choice 'cause we were the boys
we were the boys but we're not anymore no now we're so mature now we've got it short because we're not so sure no we're not so sure we're not so sure that's for sure not so sure not so sure as we were when we were the boys
we were the boys we were the boys c'mon, we're still the boys
Make me a deal and make it straight All signed and sealed, I´ll take it To Robert E. Lee I´ll show it I hope and pray he don´t blow it ´cause We´ve been around a long time just try try try tryin´ to
Make the big time... Take me on a roller coaster Take me for an airplane ride Take me for a six days wonder but don´t you Don´t you throw my pride aside besides What´s real and make believe Baby Jane´s in Acapulco We are flyin´ down to Rio
Throw me a line I´m sinking fast Clutching at straws can´t make it Havana sound we´re trying hard edge the hipster jiving Last picture shows down the drive-in You´re so sheer you´re so chic
Teenage rebel of the week Flavours of the mountain steamline Midnight blue casino floors Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise Open up exclusive doors oh wow! Just like flamingos look the same So me and you, just we two got to search for something new
Far beyond the pale horizon Some place near the desert strand Where my Studebaker takes me That´s where I´ll make my stand but wait Can´t you see that Holzer mane? What´s her name Virginia Plain
Baby's On Fire Better throw her in the water Look at her laughing Like a heifer to the slaughter Baby's On Fire And all the laughing boys are bitching Waiting for photos Oh the plot is so bewitching Rescuers row, row Do your best to change the subject Blow the wind blow, blow Lend some assistance to the object
Photographers snip-snap Take your time she's only burning This kind of experience Is necessary for her learning If you'd be my flotsam I could be half the man I used to They said you were hot stuff And that's what baby's been reduced to
Juanita and Juan Very clever with maracas Making their fortune Selling second-hand tobaccos Juan dances at Chico's And when the clients are addicted He empties their ashtrays And pockets all that he's collected
But baby's on fire And all the instruments agree that Her temperature's rising But any idiot would know that
Well this is such A sad affair I've opened up my heart So many times But now it's closed
Oh my dear Every salted tear It wrings Bitter-sweet applause
But when the show's in full swing Every once in a while High stepping chorus lines Mean I'm forgetting Mein lullaby - liebchen
How rich in contrast Love can be Sometimes I'm quite amused To see it twist and turn To taste - both sweet and dry These vintage years! Lovers you consume, my friend As others their wine
Nein, dass ist nicht Das Ende der Welt Gestrandet an Leben und Kunst Und das Spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele Schoenste ... Wiedersehn
And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile As if to compensate Then you break down and cry
Gee, but it's hard When one lowers one's guard to the vultures Now, me I regard it A torturous hardship that smoulders Like a peppermint eaten away Will I fight? Will I swagger, or sway?
Tee hee, milady She cries like a baby Scold us See her tumbling down See her tumbling down
Heil to the monkey We're having a funky reunion Wasted and sunk he can only have Sunday communion He's got nicotine stains in his eyes He's got nothing to protect but his pride Oh smothered a kiss Or be drowned in blissful confusion
You've done it all, you've broken every code and pulled the rebel to the floor You spoilt the game, no matter what you say for only metal - what a bore! Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Chorus: Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run away Maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play win or lose, it's hard to smile Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide
Chorus: Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everything from my believe in Mother Earth How can you ignore my faith in everything Cos i know what Faith is and what it's worth Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
Chorus: Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
