the world is changed ‘cause you’re made of ivory and gold. the curves of your lips rewrite history. velvet goldmine (1998)
We set out to change the world… ended up just changing ourselves.
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don’t look at the world.
- Velvet Goldmine (1998)
Velvet Goldmine ✩ performances → Curt Wild | “Gimme Danger”
There’s nothing in my dreams
But some ugly memories
Kiss me like the ocean breeze
There is suffering at the birth of a child just as there is suffering at the birth of a star.
Velvet Goldmine ✩ cast → Ewan McGregor is Curt Wild
According to legend, when Curt was 13, he was discovered by his mother in the family loo, “servicing” his older brother, and promptly shipped off for eighteen months of electric shock treatment.
The doctors guaranteed the treatment would fry the fairy clean out of him. But all it did was make him bonkers every time he heard electric guitar.
“The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.”
