I went lickety-split out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.
And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me,
And the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.
And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-split out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks...

Haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend, trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come to expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
He's wearing your clothes
head down to toes, a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid, you don't have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Now on the bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out 6th and powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk walk walk
Four more blocks, plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs to the man, he's gonna make it all okay
I can't beat myself
I can't beat myself
And I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure
So I can be quiet wherever I want
So leave me alone
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Gonna need a hammer and nails
To construct this bitter love song
This cruel testamented song
That rings out only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh
Rude are the tongues of love
That speak of mercy for us all
And leave us only with a song
And leave us only with a song
Now it's a cold and hollow whisper
That consoles my body when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Oh
And its only when you're gone
And away
Your ghost runs through me in that special way
It's a nice old town
My hometown
Come for the darkness in this prison cell
I love you long and I love you well
So bury me in the kitchen
Bury me in the stones
Oh, bury me everywhere you go
In the shadows of the hallway
Oh, for we do no longer know
What we can no longer hold
On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
And our memories grow old
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
Only, only when you're gone
Only when you're gone
And away
Only when you're gone
Gone away
And gone away
Oh
I go to sleep, before the devil wakes and I wake up, before the angels take all my worldly desires all my yardsticks of fear all my secrets untold all my motives unclear hangin' down in the fire burnin' them higher won't take them away from here and long after we're gone the light will stay on watched the city ... city of crows watched them fly, watched 'em all flyin' low out above the flood plain just above the dirt road they were hungry as winter, hungry as us not afraid to be flyin', not afraid to be lost and long after we're gone the light will stay on and if you bury me, add three feet to it one for your sorrow, two for your sweat three for the strange things we never forget and long after we're gone the light will stay on and long after we're safe the lights will not fade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE7wSrp0Wc4 |
ΕΙΣΑΙ ΣΑΝ ΚΑΠΟΙΑ ΓΗ
Είσαι σαν κάποια γη
που κανένας ποτέ δεν ονόμασε.
Δεν περιμένεις τίποτα
μόνο τη λέξη
που θ’ αναβλύσει απ’ το βάθος
σαν καρπός στα κλαριά.
Ένας άνεμος σε προλαβαίνει.
Στεγνά και μαραμένα πράγματα
σε κατακλύζουνε και φεύγουν με τον άνεμο.
Μέλη και λόγια αρχαία. Τρέμεις
μέσα στο καλοκαίρι.
Δύο τσιγάρα
Κάθε βράδυ είναι ελευθερία. Κοιτάς τις αντανακλάσεις
της ασφάλτου πάνω στους δρόμους που ανοίγουν διάπλατα, λάμποντας στον άνεμο.
Κάθε περαστικός έχει ένα πρόσωπο και μια ιστορία.
Αλλά αυτή την ώρα δεν υπάρχει πλέον κούραση: τα χιλιάδες λαμπιόνια
είναι όλα για όποιον δεν μπορεί να ανάψει ένα σπίρτο.
Η φλογίτσα σβήνεται, στο πρόσωπο της γυναίκας
που μου ζήτησε το σπίρτο. Ο αέρας σβήνει την φλόγα.
Απογοητευμένη η γυναίκα μού ζητάει ένα άλλο
που σβήνεται κι αυτό: η γυναίκα γελάει σιγανά.
Εδώ μπορούμε να μιλάμε φωναχτά και να φωνάζουμε,
αφού κανείς δεν μας ακούει. Σηκώνουμε τα μάτια
στα πολλά παράθυρα- μάτια σβηστά που κοιμούνται-
και περιμένουμε. Η γυναίκα σφίγγει τις πλάτες και
παραπονιέται ότι έχασε τη χρωματιστή της εσάρπα
που τη ζέσταινε τη νύχτα. Αλλά αρκεί να γείρουμε
στη γωνία και ο αέρας δεν είναι πλέον παρά ένα φύσημα.
Πάνω στην κατεστραμμένη άσφαλτο υπάρχει ήδη ένα αποτσίγαρο.
Αυτή η εσάρπα ήρθε από το Ρίο, αλλά η γυναίκα λέει
ότι είναι χαρούμενη που την έχασε, γιατί συνάντησε εμένα.
Εάν η εσάρπα ήρθε από το Ρίο, πέρασε τη νύχτα
πάνω από τον φωτισμένο ωκεανό με το μεγάλο υπερωκεάνιο.
Βέβαια , νύχτες με αέρα σαν κι αυτή . Είναι το δώρο ενός ναύτη του.
Ο ναύτης δεν υπάρχει πλέον. Η γυναίκα μού λέει σιγανά
ότι, εάν ανέβω μαζί της, θα μου δείξει το πορτραίτο του
με τα σγουρά μαλλιά και μαυρισμένο από τον ήλιο. Ταξίδευε πάνω σε βρώμικα βαπόρια
και καθάριζε τις μηχανές: εγώ είμαι πιο ωραίος.
Πάνω στην άσφαλτο υπάρχουν δυο αποτσίγαρα. Κοιτάμε στον ουρανό:
Το παράθυρο εκεί ψηλά- μου δείχνει με το δάχτυλο η γυναίκα- είναι το δικό μας.
Αλλά εκεί πάνω δεν υπάρχει θερμάστρα. Τη νύχτα, πίσω από τα βαπόρια που περνάνε
λάμπουν λίγα φώτα ή μονάχα τ’ αστέρια .
Πιασμένοι αλαμπρατσέτα διασχίζουμε την άσφαλτο, παίζοντας για να ζεσταθούμε.
πατροτητα
'Αντρας μόνος αντίκρυ στην ανώφελη θάλασσα, περιμένοντας το βράδυ, περιμένοντας το πρωί. Τα παιδιά παίζουν, μα ο άντρας αυτός θα 'θελε να 'χει ένα παιδί και να το βλέπει να παίζει. Μεγάλα σύννεφα φτιάχνουν ένα παλάτι στο νερόπου κάθε μέρα καταστρέφεται και ξαναγίνεται και βάφει τα παιδιά στο πρόσωπο. Πάντα θα υπάρχει η θάλασσα. Το πρωινό πληγώνει. Σ' αυτή την υγρή αμμουδιάσέρνεται ο ήλιος, πιασμένος σε δίχτυα και σε πέτρες.
Βγαίνει ο άντρας στον θολό ήλιο και περπατά κατά μήκος της θάλασσας. Δε κοιτά τους μουσκεμένους υγρούς αφρούς που βρέχουνε την ακτή και δεν ησυχάζουνε πια ποτέ. Αυτή την ώρα τα μωρά λαγοκοιμούνται ακόμα στη θαλπωρή του κρεβατιού. Αυτή την ώρα λαγοκοιμάται στο κρεβάτι μια γυναίκα, που θα 'κανε έρωτα αν δεν ήταν μονάχη της. Ο άντρας γδύνεται αργά και γυμνός όπως κι η γυναίκα που λείπει, κατεβαίνει στη θάλασσα.
Κατόπιν τη νύχτα, που η θάλασσα ξεθυμαίνει, ακούει το μεγάλο κενό που υπάρχει κάτω από τα αστέρια. Τα παιδιά μες στα κοκκινισμένα σπίτια σκουντουφλάνε από τη νύστα και κάποιο κλαίει. Ο άντρας, κουρασμένος από την αναμονή, σηκώνει τα μάτια στ' άστρα που δε νιώθουνε τίποτα.
Υπάρχουνε γυναίκες που αυτή την ώρα ξεντύνουν ένα παιδί και το κοιμίζουν. Υπάρχει κάποια σ' ένα κρεβάτι αγκαλιασμένη μ' έναν άντρα. Από το σκοτεινό παράθυρο μπαίνει ένα βραχνό λαχάνιασμα που κανείς δεν ακούει, παρά μόνον ο άντρας που ξέρει όλη την ανία της θάλασσας.

And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's
Better than living in what will come and I've
Still got some of your letters with me and I
Thought sometimes or I read too much
And I think you know let's
Drink to the dead lying under the water and the
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train.....
She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you
Were wild
You were wild.....
Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane and I've
Lost all sense of the world outside but I
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm
Looking for a life for me and I'm
Looking for a life for you and I'm
Talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train.....

A neverlasting light come to shine all over me
Bright in the mornin'
Like all of heaven's love come to shine on me
And to you who never need
Fuck yourselves, I need some more room to breathe
Here comes the devil, prowl around
One whiskey for evey ghost
And I'm sorry for what I've done
Cause it's me who knows what it cost
It breaks and it breathes, and it tears you apart
It bites and it bleeds
And this desert turns to ocean over me
Here come the devil, prowl around
One whiskey for every ghost
And I'm sorry for what I said
I said I just don't care anymore
A fool can feed on the notion
Sees and believes
And this desert turns to ocean over me
Trouble comes in slowly
A neverlasting light come to shine all over me
At the dead end to mornin' darlin'
With all of heaven's love come to shine on me
The fool that feeds on the notion
Sees and believes
And this desert turns to ocean over me
Here come the devil, buy the round
One whiskey for every ghost
And I'm sorry for what I done
Lord it's me who knows what it costs
The fool that feeds on the notion
Sees and believes
And this desert turns to ocean over me
Here come the devil, prowlin' round
One whiskey for every ghost
And I'm sorry for what I said
I said I just don't care anymore
It breaks and it breathes and it tears you apart
Gonna bite, gonna bleed
Til this desert turns to ocean over me
Dylan Thomas-And Death Shall Have No Domninion
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Through they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.
From the hissing of the spent lie
And the old terrors' continual cry
Growing more terrible as the day
Goes over the hill into the deep sea;
I have longed to move away
From the repetition of salutes,
For there are ghosts in the air
And ghostly echoes on paper,
And the thunder of calls and notes.
I have longed to move away but am afraid;
Some life, yet unspent, might explode
Out of the old lie burning on the ground,
And, crackling into the air, leave me half-blind.
Neither by night's ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death's feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying
Temptation’s page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover that you’d just be one more
Person crying
So don’t fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing
As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don’t hate nothing at all
Except hatred
Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred
While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked
An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged
It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge
And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it
Advertising signs they con
You into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you
You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks they really found you
A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit
To satisfy, insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to
Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to
For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something they invest in
While some on principles baptized
To strict party platform ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God bless him
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he’s in
But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him
Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn’t talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony
While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer’s pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death’s honesty
Won’t fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes must get lonely
My eyes collide head-on with stuffed
Graveyards, false gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough, what else can you show me?
And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only
Πέμπτη 20 Μαΐου 2010
I was walking home alone
The traffic light in the falling rain
The unanswered phone
I was so sad and lonely
On a lonesome avenue
So sad and lonely
What could I do
Once I opened a drawer
In a room of a strange hotel
I saw a photograph of you
You looked so sad and lonely
On a lonesome avenue
So sad and lonely
What could I do
Once in a railway station
In the city where I live
The windows were like mirrors
In this train
'Hey, what you're doing with your life'

Day 4
I can't drink this coffee,til I put you in my closet.....
It's too quiet,
So I Pad through the dark
and call you on the phone
Push your old numbers
and let your house ring
til I wake you ghost.
Let him walk down your hallway
it's not this quiet
slide down your receiver
sprint across the wire
follow my number
slide into my hand.
It's the blaze across my nightgown
it's the phone's ring.
I think last night
you were driving circles around me.
I can't drink this coffee
til I put you in my closet
let him shoot me down
let him call me off
I take it from his whisper
you're not that tough.
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
(Don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
(Don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
(Don't talk to me)
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with an E-A-C
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
Don't threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Don't try to tell me what I am
(Talk to me)
Don't talk to me
(Talk to me)
Don't talk to me

Day 3
Dr House knows best...
"-I didn’t know there was a section of the brain just for hope
-it’s very,very tiny…."
Ο ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ ΘΑ 'ΡΘΕΙ ΚΑΙ ΘΑ ΄ΧΕΙ ΤΑ ΜΑΤΙΑ ΣΟΥ
O θάνατος θα 'ρθει και θα 'χει τα μάτια σου
αυτός ο θάνατος που μας συντροφεύει
απ' το πρωί ως το βράδυ, άγρυπνος,
κρυφός, σαν μια παλιά τύψη
ή μια παράλογη συνήθεια. Τα μάτια σου
θα 'ναι μια άδεια λέξη.
Κραυγή που έσβησε, σιωπή.
Έτσι τα βλέπεις κάθε πρωινό
όταν μονάχη σκύβεις
στον καθρέφτη. Ω, αγαπημένη ελπίδα,
αυτή τη μέρα θα μάθουμε και εμείς
πως είσαι η ζωή κι είσαι το τίποτα.
Για όλους ο θάνατος έχει ένα βλέμμα
O θάνατος θα 'ρθει και θα 'χει τα μάτια σου
Θα' ναι σαν ν' αφήνεις μια συνήθεια,
σαν ν' αντικρίζεις μέσα στον καθρέφτη
να αναδύεται ένα πρόσωπο νεκρό,
σαν ν' ακούς ένα κλεισμένο στόμα.
Θα κατέβουμε στην άβυσσο βουβοί.
Cesare Pavese

Σάββατο 1 Μαΐου 2010
Κίτρινα μυρμήγκια περπατάνε στο σώμα μου
και περνάνε μέσα απο τις χαραμάδες του μυαλού μου
για να φτάσουν με ασφάλεια
στο τέλος της διαδρομής
που είναι πάντα μια αρχή.
Κάτι ώρες σαν αυτή,που ο ουρανός τρυπάει
και η γή σταματάει να γυρνά
έρχονται γύρω μου όλοι όσοι κουβάλησα,και με κουβάλησανε.
Κουβεντιάζουμε,λέμε αστεία,προσπαθούμε να ξεχάσουμε πως
έξω απο το παράθυρο ο χρόνος προχωράει.
Κάτι νύχτες σαν κι αυτή,όταν γίνεται μοναξιά και θλίψη
κάτι μάτια στέκονται δίπλα μου,με κοιτάνε
και προσπαθούν να μου φωτίσουν λίγο το σκοτάδι.
Όλοι μας προσπαθούμε να βρούμε το δρόμο σπίτι.
Ούτε ο δρόμος,ούτε το σπίτι υπήρξαν ποτέ....
The Hollow Men
A penny for the old guy
I
We are the hollow men
we are the stuffed men
leaning together
headpiece filled with straw.Alas!
Our dried voices,when
we whisper together
are quiet and meaningless
as wind in dry grass
or rats feet over broken glass
in our dry cellar
Shape without form,shade without colour.
Paralysed force,gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
with direct eyes,to Death's other Kingdom
remember us,if at all,not as lost
violent souls,but only
as the hollow men.
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
in death's dream kingdom.
These do not appear:
There,the eyes are
sunlight on a broken column
there,is a tree swinging
and voices are
in the wind's singing,
more distant and more solemn
than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
in Death's dream Kingdom.
Let me also wear
such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat,crowskin,crossed staves
in a field.
Behaving as the wind behaves,
no nearer.
Not that final meeting
in the twilight Kingdom.
III
This is the dead land.
This is cactus land.
Here,the stone images
are raised,here they receive
the supplication of a dead man's hand
under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
in Death's other Kingdom?
Walking alone
at the hour when we are
trembling with tenderness
lips that would kiss
form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here,
there are no eyes here
in this valley of dying stars
in this hollow valley
this broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
we grope together
and avoid speech
gathered on this beach of the tumid river.
Sightless,unless
the eyes reappear
as the perpetual star
multifolliate rose
of Death's twilight Kingdom.
The hope only
of empty men.
V
Here we go round the prickly pear
prickly pear,prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
at five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
and the reality
between the motion
and the act
falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
and the creation
between the emotion
and the response
falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
and the spasm
between the potency
and the existence
between the essence
and the descent
falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang,but a whimper
T.S.Elliott
