Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

“Our generation
alienation
have we a soul?”

I det jeg kommer hjem etter en par glass på byen, etter det jeg innser at endelig en fridag i morgen,  i det jeg tenker at den siste uken, de siste ukene, har vært lange og mørke og usosiale,  graver jeg like godt frem 10 år gamle ting  (mer presist; Human Traffic, 1999), som kanskje sier ting bedre enn man gjør selv.
Den er kort. Men enjoy. Du kan til og med synge med om du så føler for det…

there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there,… Les mer

Do you realize — that you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize — we’re floating in space
Do you realize — that happiness makes you cry
Do you realize — that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes — let them know
you realize that life goes fast
it’s hard to make the good things last.
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
it’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round.

Tja, trenger dere en intro, eller?  Her er “The Guilt Song” av Tim Minchin- favorittaustraleren min.  (Og om du henger deg opp i detaljer som  dette nummeret han synger (1800 034 034) så er det altså Oxfam sitt nummer i Australia).

Ikke ny, men på tide å dra opp, den har kvernet i ørene mine i ca 3 døgn nå, så da er på tide med litt spredning.

Jeg burde kanskje si at jeg valgte denne  versjonen pga lydkvaliteten, ikke på grunn av alle bildene av Ani (selv om hun forsåvidt ikke ser ille ut!) og sånn sett sier ikke videoen mye i seg selv. Så for å hjelpe litt; kan du jo få teksten også.
They were digging a new foundation in Manhattan
They discovered a slave cemetery there
And may their souls rest easy now that lynching has been frowned upon
And we’ve moved on to the electric chair
And I wonder who’s gonna be president
Tweedle dum or tweedle dumber?
And who’s gonna have the big
Blockbuster box office
This summer
How ’bout we put… Les mer
