Suppose one day in Bromley, Kent

I live my nightmare and am sent

To sing for blonde suburban women

Before the wives of double-glazers

I'd be Julio Inglesias

Doing the greats in Argentinian

Suppose they Barry Manilow me

Screaming "Show me you're a man"

With legs as mottled as salami

Ladies, I'm doing the best I can

This is how Casanova's bum

becomes a lesson in virility

Set to a bossanova drum

Sung to tarts decked out like Christmas trees

Then in my dressing room I'd see

This elephant as pink as me

Drinking and singing gloomily

About the time they called me, yeah the time the called me,

About the time they called me "Nicky"

If I could be him! For only an hour

If I could be him! Before his grand finale

If I could be me, if I could only be cute, cute, cute, absolutely banal!

Suppose one evening in Mauritius

Entertaining high officials

High on whores and marijuana

Begging letters from celebrities

Begging "Couldn't you write songs for me?"

I'd blackmail David Bowie and the Dalai Lama

And I'd be an industrialist of song

And I could sell with a wink

The best in showbiz and in drink

Korean floorshows, whiskey from the Congo? (whiskey from the Congo)

Me, I'd have a ring on every finger

And a thumb in every stake

And every stake would be the singer's

And acknowledged, I would legislate

The in my Hong Kong orchid den

Waiting for 1999

I'd spend the years of my decline

Do you remember the time they called me, yeah the time they called me,

Oh the time they called me "Nicky"

If I could be him! For only an hour

If I could be him! Before his grand finale

If I could be me, if I could only be cute, cute, cute, absolutely banal!

Suppose one day in paradise

I find myself to my surprise

Singing for ladies flapping swans wings

And plucking on my little harp

I'd be a beacon in the dark

And save the souls of human beings

Then Jesus Christ has hardly christened me

Son-of-the-one-in-the-directory

Between Vic and Jean-Luc Goddard

And I grow my beard and walk on water

And if I really came on strong

And started prancing and Cliff Richard-ing

I know it wouldn't be too long

Before I heard the shadows whispering

How Satan's come in from the cold

He's now the shepherd in his fold

They're shouting out requests for oldies

From the time they called me, yeah the time they called me,

Yeah the time they called me "Nicky"

If I could be him! For only an hour

If I could be him! Before his grand finale

If I could be me, if I could only be cute, cute, cute, good, absolutely banal!

He could fall asleep at night

He could fall in love all right

He could fall asleep at night

He could fall asleep at night

He could fall in love all right

He could fall asleep at night

He could fall asleep at night

He could fall in love all right

This is the best English version of Jackie that I know - I think Momus has got closer to Brel's spirit than anyone else even if he's had to take liberties. The line about Vic and Jean-Luc Godard makes me hoot every time I hear it.

I always thought he was saying "vernal" and when I saw that it was banal, I quite literally had the widest smirk in the world... thats about the cleverest and most ironic line ever.
