hold me tight

when are you gonna jump the wall between us?


I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
(Bob Dylan, 'Make You Feel My Love', 1997)

love you, mama

this kid knows how to rock


London to LA
Talk about the New Wave
For a couple of bucks ya get a weird haircut
And waste your life away
Around the world or around the block
Everywhere I go - the kids wanna rock
(Bryan Adams, Kids Wanna Rock')

hole in the sky

I’m waiting for the change
I'm dancing through the fire, just to catch a flame
And feel real again.

benched


Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
(Jimmy Cox, 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out', 1923)

silhouette under the bridge


Following the path as it leads toward
The darkness in the north
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before

Thinking about thinking of you
Summertime think it was June
Yeah think it was June
Laying back, head on the grass

I want to live like common people,
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people,
I want to sleep with common people,
like you.

Above the world, we’re not too proud
To cling together, We’re strong
As long as we’re together.

shining bicycles (η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος)



Η ποίησις είναι ανάπτυξι στίλβοντος ποδηλάτου.
Μέσα της όλοι μεγαλώνουμε. Οι δρόμοι είναι λευκοί.
Τ' άνθη μιλούν.
Από τα πέταλά τους αναδύονται συχνά μικρούτσικες παιδίσκες.
Η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος.
(Α. Εμπειρίκος, 'Ο πλόκαμος της Αλταμιρας', 1936-1937)

You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.

Talking about life since then

In the warming bath

crawl out your window


He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
I'm sure that he has no intentions
Of looking your way, unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions.

Can you please crawl out your window?
Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to.

(Bob Dylan, 'Can you please crawl out your window?', 1965)

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea

Just as long as you stand, stand by me
(Ben E. King, 'Stand By Me')

'framing' terrorism


You may be a construction worker working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

(Bob Dylan, "Gotta Serve Somebody", 1979)

With western eyes and serpent's breath,
We lay our own conscience to rest.

somebody got murdered




Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
(Bob Dylan, "Dignity")

the long way


Well, I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And show the way back home
Is there a light up ahead
I can't hold onto very long
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
(Norah Jones, "The Long Way Home", 2004)

Don't ever ask your love of me.

creepy as an empty parking lot


I see you falling
How long to go till you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me hear
Am I a ghost to you?
Now your grips to strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
(James, "Tomorrow", 1997)

light curves


High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones

Have I got the strength to ask
Beyond the window
I feel this fear alone
Until we have
Total honesty
If I tremble or fall
I'm reaching out in this mourning air.
