Χα! Νομίζατε πως το αποφύγατε ε; no no no way

Ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα συγκροτήματα και το αγαπημένο μου συγκρότημα, "υπαρξιακά" στον πλανήτη γη μοιραζόμαστε την ίδια ηλικία περίπου και το ίδιο γούστο ακουστικά και νοητικά πολλοί τους γνωρίζεται όποιος θέλει τους γνωρίζει και λίγο παραπάνω....

A, μπράβο βρε χαρά μου!!! Δεν φαντάζεσαι απο τί με σώζεις! Βασικά, εδώ και χρόνια ήθελα να εξιλεωθώ απέναντι στο συγκρότημα, για κάτι που είχε συμβεί, και να η ευκαιρία να οτ κάνω!
Λοιπόν: όταν ήμουν στην τρυφερή ηλικία των ....χμμ...δεν θυμάμαι πόσο, είχαμε πάει σ'ένα κλαμπάκι/μπυραρία με την κολλητή μου! Τότε είχα έρωτα με το losing my religion! Έρωτα όμως! Το κλαμπάκι έπαιζε ωραιότατη μουσική, και τόσο μου άρεσε που γυρνάω και λέω στην κολλητή μου "αν βάλει και το losing my religion θα λιποθυμίσω απο την χαρά μου"... περνάει η ώρα, διασκεδάζουμε, και κάποια στιγμή μου λέει η φιλενάδα μου οτι πάει στην τουαλέτα... Εκείνη ακριβώς την στιγμή που χάνεται μέσα στο πλήθος βάζουν το Losing my religion και μαντέψτε, όχι μαντέψτε!!! Νιώθω ξαφνικά μιά ζαλάδα, κια λέω στον εαυτό μου 'έχε γούστο!' και τρέχω να προλάβω την φιλενάδα μου που τν έχω ήδη χάσει μέσα στο πλήθος (τρέχω, τροπος του λέγειν). Το τελευταίο που θυμάμαι είναι ένας τύπος που γυρνάει αλαφιασμένος γιατί είχα αρχίσει να πέφτω πάνω του!!!! Ε, τα υπόλοιπα μπορείτε να τα φανταστείτε...το γέλιο της φιλενάδας μου κτλ. Εγώ είπα απο τότε δεν το ξανακούω το losing my religion< έτσι για εκδίκηση (που λέει ο λόγος)...
Να, αυτό το συγκλονιστικό μοιράζομαι με το συγκρότημα! Μετά απο αρκετά χρόνια το ξανάκουσα, και το απόλαυσα το ίδιο, όπως τότε που ήμουν παιδούλα :) :) :)

Ας ξεκινήσουμε από ένα σύντομο βιογραφικό τους...
======
R.E.M. - A Story Of Them

Χωρίς το παραμικρό «macho» στοιχείο και χωρίς θεατρικό πομπώδες ύφος, οι REM αναδείχθηκαν την δεκαετία του 80 και κατέληξαν να γίνουν ένα από τα κυρίαρχα ροκ συγκροτήματα παρόλο που δεν ηχούσαν έτσι. Μαζί με τους Ιρλανδούς U2 υπήρξαν οι εγκαθιδρυτές της εναλλακτικής μουσικής σκηνής, καθώς επίσης και από τα πιο διάσημα μουσικά ροκ συγκροτήματα της δεκαετίας του ’80 και του ’90. Οι REM σηματοδότησαν το σημείο όπου η underground rock μουσική έγινε αποδεκτή από τον οδηγό του φορτηγού, τον αγρότη και τον καθημερινό εργαζόμενο άνθρωπο.

Η αρχική συσπείρωση του Bill Berry (drums), Peter Buck (κιθάρα), Mike Mills (μπάσο) and Michael Stipe (φωνητικά) δημιουργήθηκε στο κολέγιο της γενέτειρας τους Athens στην Georgia, και έπαιζαν κυρίως σε μερικά πάρτι. Πολύ σύντομα τα πάρτι έδωσαν την θέση τους στον επαγκελματισμό όταν υπέγραψαν με την μικρή εταιρία Hib-Tone label που θα τους βοηθούσε να βγάλουν το πρώτο τους single το «Radio Free Europe» (1981). Το συγκεκριμένο single συλλαμβάνει τέλεια το πρόωρο στυλ των REM – τα σιγανόφωνα σχεδόν σαν μουρμουρητά φωνητικά του, τους εντυπωσιακούς στίχους, τις ψιλές μελωδίες και η jangly κιθάρα έδωσαν στο συγκρότημα τον αέρα του μυστηρίου που ήταν καταλυτικός στο να κερδίσουν το κοινό. Το συγκρότημα σύντομα το εντόπισε η εταιρία IRS του Miles Copeland (αδερφός του Stuart 'Police' Copeland) και υπέγραψαν την δημιουργία του μικρού άλμπουμ «Chronic Town» το 1982 και μετέπειτα του πρώτου τους κανονικού τους άλμπουμ το «Murmur» το 1983. Το συγκεκριμένο άλμπουμ βγήκε στην αγορά σε περίεργη περίοδο και υπήρξε αρκετά καθοριστικό στον στιγματισμό του στυλ του συγκροτήματος. Με τα μυστήρια φωνητικά του Stipe και την μελαγχολία που τους διέκρινε αμέσως το συγκρότημα απέκτησε ένα «μυστικοφανές» τόνο και ύφος.

Το 1984 το άλμπουμ Reckoning υπήρξε λιγότερο «σκοτεινό» καθώς περιείχε πιο σοφιστικέ και κουλτουριάρικα κομμάτια και ήχο, με κορυφαία το «So Central Rain» και το «Don't Go Back To Rockville». Το συγκρότημα έκανε μία αριστερή στροφή στο επόμενο τους δίσκο, αποφασίζοντας να ηχογραφήσουν το «Fables Of The Reconstruction» στο Λονδίνο με τον βετεράνο της Φοκλόρ μουσικής και παραγωγό Joe Boyd. Με τα κομμάτια του όπως το «Old Man Kensey» το άλμπουμ, που ανέλυσε και συμπεριέλαβε τον μύθο του «deep South», ήταν περίεργο, υποχθόνιο και δελεαστικό, σίγουρα θα έπαινε στα αγαπημένα των φανατικών των REM.

Τα τρία άλμπουμς που ακολούθησαν Life's Rich Pageant (1986), Document (1987) and Green (1989) μαρκάρισαν μία καθοριστική περίοδο στην ανάπτυξη των REM. Με κάθε άλμπουμ το συγκρότημα έγινε καυστικό και «δυνατότερο». Το environmental εγκώμιο «Life's Rich Pageant's» το οποίο περιλαμβάνει κομμάτια όπως το «Cuyahoga» εκδήλωνε μία σίγουρη αυτοκυριαρχία ενώ το άλμπουμ τους « Document», το οποίο πλήθυνε τα US Top 10 του συγκροτήματος με το κομμάτι «One I Love», ήταν το πιο πολιτικοποιημένο άλμπουμ του συγκροτήματος μέχρι σήμερα. Το τραγούδι « Exhuming McCarthy» ήταν μία επίθεση στο Regan ενώ το κομμάτι «It's The End Of The World as We Know it» ήταν ένα ζωηρό κομμάτι με πολλά κρυφά μηνύματα.

Όταν το άλμπουμ «Green» βγήκε στην αγορά το συγκρότημα είχε ήδη γίνει ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά γκρουπ της περιόδου και υπέγραψε με την Warners για μία μικρή περιουσία. Το single “The Stand” single gave them their biggest hit to date ενώ το «World Leader Pretend» υπήρξε ένα τέλειο παράδειγμα της ιδιότητας του μουσικού αυτού γκρουπ του να δημιουργεί, έξυπνα τραγούδια τα οποία είναι ακόμα hummable. Η επιτυχία του «Green'» σήμαινε ότι το γκρουπ θα μπορούσε να περάσει τα επόμενα δύο χρόνια σε περιοδίες – με τον Stipe να υποδίεται τον αντι-ήρωα στην σκηνή, ντυμένο με ένα άσπρο λευκό κουστούμι, με παχιές στρώσεις eyeliner και να χορεύει μανιωδώς. Ο Stipe ανέβασε επίσης το προφίλ του με τις εμφανίσεις του σε σε σειρές της κρατικής τηλεόρασης σε ενημερωτικά σποτάκια για το Aids, την έκτρωση και τον ρατσισμό.

Το 1991 το άλμπουμ «Out Of Time» πούλησε πολλά εκατομύρια αντίγραφα, αντιπροσωπεύοντας το συγκρότημα στις πιο κορυφαίες του στιγμές και οικονομικά και προσωπικά, τα κομμάτια αυτού του άλμπουμ που ξεχώρισαν ήταν το "Losing My Religion" και το "Shiny Happy People". Το 1992 ακολούθησε το "Automatic For The People", το οποίο αποδείχθηκε να αναδειχθεί ως ένα από τα πιο ατμοσφαιρικά δημιουργήματα του συγκροτήματος. Ο Stipe είχε επιρρεαστει και ενοχληθεί από φήμες που τον ήθελαν να από Aids, και έγινε προφανές στο ματαιόδοξο τόνο και φύση των κομματιών και την μελαγχολική φωνή του Stipe. Υπήρχε μία διακριτική και καθαρή γοητεία στα κομμάτια όπως το «Night Swimming» και το «Man On The Moon» (που είχε γραφτεί για τον κωμικό-ηθοποιό Andy Kaufman), που υπέσκαπτε τον δρόμο τους στο υποσυνείδητο του ακροατή.

Ακολούθησε το «Monster» το 1994 το οποίο είχε πλούσιες επιρροές από την grunge σκηνή, η οποία τότε ήταν στην κορύφωσή της ειδικά με τον θάνατο του Kurt Cobain – τραγουδιστή των Nirvana-, το οποίο περιλάμβανε τα κομμάτια «What's The Frequency Kenneth» και το «Crush With Eyeliner», εντοπίζοντας την σωστή ισορροπία μεταξύ θορύβου και μελωδίας αλλά παρόλα αυτά ήταν ένα μεικτό άλμπουμ, με τον Stipe εμφανέστατα να έχει ξεπεράσει τις εμμονές του με τον θάνατο για το υγιές σεξ και για φωτεινότερες εικόνες. Η επερχόμενη περιοδεία (η πρώτη μετά από αυτή που έγινε προς τα τέλη του 80) έληξε πρόωρα όταν ο drummer Bill Berry διαγνώστηκε ότι υπέφερε από εγκεφαλική αιμορραγία.

Μετά την επιτυχή του ανάρρωση, το συγκρότημα επανενώθηκε και ξαναυπέγραψε με την Warners για το μεγαλύτερο συμβόλαιο στην ιστορία της τάξεως των $80m για συνολικά πέντε άλμπουμς.Ο πρώτος καρπός αυτής της συμφωνίας ήταν το 1996 το «New Adventures In Hi-Fi». Το UP θα είναι το τελευταίο τους άλμπουμ με τον Berry ο οποίος αργότερα θα αποχωρήσει, για να ασχοληθεί με την φροντίδα της φάρμας του. Το UP γράφτηκε κυρίως στον δρόμο, υπήρξε η επιστροφή του συγκροτήματος σε πιο οικείες περιοχές από το ήρεμο «How The West Was Won» στο ατμοσφαιρικό «E-Bow The Letter», όπου έλαβε μέρος και η Patti Smith.

Το 1998 με το άλμπουμ Up υπήρξε για τους R.E.M. ίσως η πιο μελαγχολική διετία. Το 1999 το συγκρότημα ηχογράφησε το soundtrack για την ταινία του Andy Kaufman με τίτλο «Man On The Moon» όπου πρωταγωνιστούσε ο Jim Carrey, πρώτου μπούνε στο στούντιο για την ηχογράφηση και την προετοιμασία του αλμπουμ «Reveal» (2001). Το συγκεκριμένο άλμπουμ προσπάθησε να παντρέψει το κλασσικό τους λυρισμό με περισσότερους πειραματισμούς.

Το 2001 κανονικά ντροπαλός και συνεσταλμένος κιθαρίστας Peter Buck συνελήφθη αφού κατηγορήθηκε παρενόχληση του προσωπικού της πτήσης της ΒΑ. Μεταγενέστερα απαλλάχθηκε και κατόπιν χαρακτήρισε τον Τύπο και το τσίρκο των ΜΜΕ ως "τον χειρότερο χρόνο της ζωής μου".

Το νέο άλμπουμ του γκρουπ «Around The Sun» βγήκε τον Οκτώβριο του 2004 με τον Stipe να το περιγράφει ως «πολύ πειραματικό και σχιζοφρενικό». Ένα νέο single το «Leaving New York» βγήκε επίσης τον Οκτώβρη του ίδιου έτους. Το συγκρότημα να κάνει μία περιοδεία το 2005, η οποία θα υπάρξει μία ευκαιρία για το γκρουπ να επανασυνδεθεί με το κοινό του". Θέλουμε να δείξουμε στον κόσμο πως είμαστε τώρα και πως νιώθουμε», λέει ο Stipe.

Σε χρονολογική σειρά σας παραθέτω και τους στίχους των τραγουδιών


Chronic Town

1,000,000

Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too, smarter too
All along the tomb, secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too, smarter too

I could live a million, I could live a million, I could live a million,
I could live a million years.

(repeat 1st verse and chorus)

All along, all along, all along the tomb
Secret in, secret in, secret in the ruin
Secluded in a marker stone
Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too



Stumble

We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the yard
We'll stumble through the A-P-T
We'll stumble through the yard
Force fields. Explorer racing home, the ancient star.
Yellow mixed with golden hue.
Scan the graveyard, dead there be.
Ball and chain. Ball and chain.
Ball and chain. Ball and chain.

(Repeat 1st verse 3 times)

It was round about midnight. Hipster town.
Imagine going for a walk.
Things get around to taking place. It's not a waste of time.
The rich got a little poorer.
Things get around to taking place. If they're gonna happen at all.
Don't need that jazz. Don't need that stuff.
It was round about midnight. Hipster town.
It was round about midnight. Hipster town.

(Repeat 1st verse)



Wolves, Lower

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.
Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, let us out.
Wilder lower wolves. Here's a house to put wolves out the door.
In a corner garden, wilder lower wolves.
House in order. House in order. House in order. House in order.
Down there they're rounding a posse to ride.

(repeat verse)

Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.
Suspicion yourself, suspicion ourselves, suspicion myself.
Wilder lower wolves. Here's a house to put wolves out the door.
In a corner garden, wilder lower wolves.
House in order. House in order. House in order. House in order.
Down there they're rounding a posse to ride.



Gardening At Night


I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere it must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.

The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night

Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was 2 and 51.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night



Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars)


There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel.
Diminish, a carnival of sorts.
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel.
Stranger, stranger to these parts.

Gentlemen don't get caught, cages under cage. Gentlemen don't get caught,
Boxcars (are pulling) out of town. Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.
Boxcars (are pulling) out of town.

(repeat 1st verse and chorus)

Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.
Cages under, cages under, cages under cage.

(repeat chorus)

There's a secret stigma, reaping wheel.
Stranger, stranger to these parts.
Chronic town, poster torn, reaping wheel.
Diminish, stranger.

(repeat chorus)

Το επόμενο και δεύτερο άλμπουμ τους είναι το ακόλουθο...

Murmur

Radio Free Europe

Beside yourself if radio's gonna stay.
Reason: it could polish up the grey.
Put that, put that, put that up your wall
That this isn't country at all

Raving station, beside yourself

Keep me out of country in the word
Deal the porch is leading us absurd.
Push that, push that, push that to the hull
That this isn't nothing at all.

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio Free Europe, radio...

Beside defying media too fast
Instead of pushing palaces to fall
Put that, put that, put that before all
That this isn't fortunate at all

Raving station, beside yourself
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio Free Europe, radio...

Decide yourself, calling all of the medias too fast

Keep me out of country in the word
Disappoint is into us absurd

Straight off the boat, where to go?
Calling on in transit, calling on in transit
Radio Free Europe



Pilgrimage


Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune

They called the clip a two-headed cow
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, pilgrimage
Rest assured this will not last, take a turn for the worst
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck a two-headed cow
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune

Speakin' in tongues, it's worth a broken lip
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck, pilgrimage
Rest assured this will not last, take a turn for the worst
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck a two-headed cow
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune

Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage.

Speakin' in tongues, it's worth a broken lip
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck
Rest assured this will not last, take a turn for the worst
Your hate clipped and distant, your luck two-headed
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune

Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage.
The pilgrimage has gained momentum
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune
Take a turn, take a turn
Take our fortune, take our fortune



Laughing

Laocoon and her two sons
Pressured storm, tried to move
No other more, emotion bound
Martyred, misconstrued

Lighted in a room, lanky room
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted, laughing

Laocoon and her two sons
Run the gamut, sated view
Know them more, emotion bound
Martyred, misconstrued

Lighted in a room, lanky room
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted, laughing

In a room, lock the door, latch the room
Lighted, lighted, laughing

Laocoon and her two sons
Ran the gamut, settled new,
Find a place fit to laugh,
Lock the doors, latch the room
Lighted in a room, lanky room
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes
Lighted, lighted, laughing in tunes



Talk About The Passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world

Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion

Empty prayer, empty mouths, combien reaction
Empty prayer, empty mouths, talk about the passion
Combien, combien, combien de temps?

Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Combien, combien, combien de temps?

Talk about the passion
Talk about the passion
(repeat)



Moral Kiosk


Scratch the scandals in the twilight
Trying to shock but instead
Idle hands all orient to her
Pass a magic pillow under head
It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight

They scratch the scandals in the twilight
She was laughing like a Horae
Put that knee in dour landslide
Take this step to dash a roving eye
It's so much more attractive inside the moral kiosk
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight
Inside, cold, dark, fire, twilight

(repeat first verse)



Perfect Circle


Put your hair back, we get to leave
Eleven gallows on your sleeve
Shallow figure, winner's paid
Eleven shadows way out of place
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room

Pull your dress on and stay real close
Who might leave you where I left off?
A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends
Drink another, coin a phrase
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room
Heaven assumed, shoulders high in the room

Try to win and suit your needs
Speak out sometimes but try to win
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
Standing too soon, shoulders high in the room
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

λόγω του υπέρογκου του ποστ το χώρισα σε δύο μέρη ορίστε το δεύτερο...

Murmur part II

Catapult

Ooooo, we were little boys
Ooooo, we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth. Question:
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?
Catapult. Catapult. Catapult. Catapult.

Ooooo, we were little boys
Ooooo, we were little girls
It's nine o'clock, don't try to turn it off
Cowered in a hole, opie mouth.
We in step, in hand, your mother remembers this.
Hear the howl of the rope, a question:
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?
Catapult. Catapult. Catapult. Catapult.

March could be darker. March could be darker.
Catapult. Catapult. Catapult. Catapult.

(Repeat 2nd verse)



Sitting Still

This name I got we all were green
See could stop stop it will red
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit

Up to par, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still

I'm the sun and you can read.
I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the scythe.
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to par, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.

This name I got we all were green
See could stop stop it will red
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit.

Up to par, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.

You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue
You could get away from me. Get away from me.

I'm Up to par, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in,
Sit and try for the big key, a waste o' time, sitting still
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.
I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear. I-I-I can hear.
Can you hear me?



9-9

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.

Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear

Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back

Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear

What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?

Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.

Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down her back
all nine yards down his back

Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,

Conversation fear. Conversation fear. Conversation fear.




Shaking Through



Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the room?
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Could this by three be ten? Honor marches on.
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way

Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

Are we grown way too far?
Taking after rain
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.

In my life.

Ears that are still,
Children of today on parade,
Yellow like a geisha gown, denial all the way
Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.
Shaking through, opportune. Shaking through, opportune.




We Walk


Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat's bathing
We walk through the wood, we walk
Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat's bathing
We walk through the woods, we walk
Take oasis, take oasis, take oasis, take oasis
Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat's bathing
We walk through the world, we walk
Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat's bathing
Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Take oasis, Marat's bathing
Up the stairs to the landing, up the stairs into the hall, oh, oh, oh
Into the hall



West Of The Fields


Long gone, intuition to assume are gone when we try.
Dream of a living jungle in my way back home when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify

The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.
The animals, how strange. Try, try to stick it in.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming when we try.
Listen through your eyes when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

Αν έχεις τους στίχους από το "The one I love" θα σου ήμουν ευγνώμων.

Και μία στροφή από ένα προφητικό τους τραγούδι:
It's the end of the world as we know it.

Reckoning

Harborcoat

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got
Metal shivs on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown

Please find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it
Find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got
Metal shivs on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT", R-E-A-C-T

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown

She said...



Seven Chinese Brothers


This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you in the colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now, we've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she will return

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy, woman offers pull up a chair
Take in one symphony now, I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas swimming colored come another

Seven chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the Communi did reign
She will return, she will return



So. Central Rain

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream

I'm sorry

Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine

Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine



Pretty Persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong

He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
She's got pretty persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong all wrong

He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

In the light I saw
quite a scene there

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong




Time After Time (Annelise)

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall, are you obligated to follow

Time after time after time

When the bull's on his hooves, when you gather friends by the tower
If you try to refuse, will they judge your worth by the hour?

If your tired and you're tried you can find me in my room
You can stay if you want and the third time you can't lose

Ask the girl of the hour, by the water tower's watch
We can fight if you want but who will turn out the light
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

Reckoning part II

Second Guessing


Why're you trying to second guess me?
I am tired of second guessing
What will be your look this season?
Who will be your book this season?

Why're you trying to second guess me?
I am tired of second guessing
What will be your look this season?
Who will be your book this season?

Here we are

Why're you trying to second guess me?
I am tired of second guessing
What will be your look this season?
Be in my club, write a book this season




Letter Never Sent


It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)




Camera

From the inside room when the front room greeting
Becomes your special book, it was simple then
When the party lulls, if we fall by the side

Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered?
Alone in a crowd, a bartered lantern borrowed
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?

I fell by your bed once, I didn't want to tell you
I should keep myself in between the pages
Of the green light room if we fall by the side

From the inside room when the front room greeting
Becomes your special book, it was simple then
When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
I still like you, can you remember?




(Don't Go Back To) Rockville


Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

It's not as though I really need you
If you were here I'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long




Little America


I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer

Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

Fables Of The Reconstruction

Feeling Gravity's Pull

Ι fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said
"You can't do this", I said "I can too"
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,
holding my head straight (looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...

Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down




Maps And Legends

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached.

Called the fool and the company,
On his own where he'd rather be.
Where he ought to be, he sees what you can't see, can't you see that?

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood.

Down the way the road's divided,
Paint me the places you have seen.
Those who know what I don't know
refer to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood.

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached. (4 times)

The map that you painted didn't seem real.
He just sings whatever he's seen
Point to the legend, point to the east,
Point to the yellow, red and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend,
maybe he's caught in the mood.
Maybe these maps and legends
have been misunderstood, been misunderstood. (Maps and legends)

(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached.
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached.
(Maps and legends) Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached anymore.



Driver 8

The walls are built up, stone by stone,
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"




Life And How To Live It

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Two doors remain before your others and your own
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

The hills ringing hear the words in time
Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
the air quicken tension building inference suddenly
Life and how to live it

Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there
My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler,
If I write a book it will be called "Life and How to Live It"





Old Man Kensey

Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter
First he's got to learn to read
He's gonna be a clown on TV.
Flags at his elbow, time to breath
(That's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake, Kensey's away
(That's my folly) That's my mistake

Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie
First he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to me signed in sopped up tar
(That's my folly) Kensey's going far

John, Bill and Ted, stand on your head
(That's my folly) I'm ready to go

Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher
First he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to me signed ransom greed
(That's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ted,
(That's my folly) That's my mistake
Kensey's away, stand on your head
(That's my folly) I'm ready to go





Can't Get There From Here

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door

If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go
Lawyer Jeff he knows the low-down
He's mighty bad to visit home

(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)

When your hands are feeling empty
Stickheads jumping off the ground
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)

Hands down, Calechee bound
Land locked, kiss the ground
The dirt of seven continents going
round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide
hypnotize, suit and tie
Gentlemen testify

If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the low-down
Throw your trolls out the door

(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)
Can't get there from here
(I've been there I know the way)

(Thank you, Ray)

Fables Of The Reconstruction


Green Grow The Rushes

The wheelbarrow's fallen
Look at my hands
They've found some surplus, cheaper hands
Rubbing palms and pick and choose,
who will they choose? Here is the news.

Look at that building, look at this man
Haloed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
he'll offer a pound, offer a pound.

Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home

Pay for your freedom, find another gate
Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go

Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe
The grasses that hide the greenback
The amber waves of gain again
The amber waves of gain

Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home





Kohoutek

Who will stand alone?

She carried ribbons, she wore them out
Courage built a bridge, jealous tore it down
At least it's something you've left behind
Like Kohoutek, you were gone

We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch
I won't deny myself, we never talked

She wore bangles, she wore bells
On her toes and she jumped like a fish
Like a flyin' friend, you were gone
Like Kohoutek, can't forget that

Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down
If I am one to follow.. who will stand alone?

Maybe you're not the problem
scissors, paper, stone
If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

She carried ribbons, she wore them out
Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down
At least it's something you've left behind
Like Kohoutek, you were gone

Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down
If I stand and holler... will I stand alone?





Auctioneer (Another Engine)

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town
Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Listen, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine

Listen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer

Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, an I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine

Do I stand the bargain holler?
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer




Good Advices

When you greet a stranger look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger look at her hands
Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away
At the end of the day, I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away

When you greet a stranger, look at her shoes
Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
At the end of the day, when there are no friends
When there are no lovers, who are you going to call for
What do you have to change

A familiar face a foreign place I forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away





Wendell Gee

That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
Upon the string that held the line of trees
Behind the house he lived in
He was reared to give respect
But somewhere down the line he chose
To whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed inside
There wasn't even time to say
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
So whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows, with me

If the wind were colors
And if the air could speak
Then whistle as the wind blows
Whistle as the wind blows
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.

Lifes Rich Pageant


Begin The Begin

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe

Life's rich demand creates supply in the hand
Of the powers, the only vote that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
On Zenith, on the TV, tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader, run and turn into butter

Let's begin again, begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
The mythology begins the begin
Answer me a question I can't itemize
I can't think clear, you look to me for reason
It's not there, I can't even rhyme here in the begin

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Example: the finest example is you

Birdie in the hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud, congratulate me

A philanderer's tie, a murderer's shoe
Let's begin again begin the begin
Let's begin again


These Days

Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales
If I can, and I can
March into the ocean, march into the sea

I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....

I wish to meet each one of you
And you, me, you, if I can and I can
We have many things in common, name three (three, three, three)

I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
I wish to eat each one of you and you, me, you

I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you...
carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
(Take away the scattered bones of my meal)




Fall On Me

There's a problem, feathers iron
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky

Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)

There's the progress we have found (when the rain)
A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)
Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)
isn't anything at all (melt the statues in the park)
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

(repeat chorus)
Don't fall on me

Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole

Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky

(repeat chorus, etc.)




Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed

This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir

Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone




Hyena

Night time fell at the opening,
In the final act of the beginning of time.
Hyena take your role, the stage is set.
The town is safe again tonight

Hyena (I see the day ahead)
Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)

Hyena, sister look to your hand
Man you serve communal interest,
She'll tell you when and where and how and why you'd hurt
A beautiful young lady

Hyena (I see the day ahead)
Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)

The only thing to fear is fearlessness
The bigger the weapon the greater the fear
Hyena is ambassador to here

Night time fell like the closing
Meager pay, but recognition
Hyena crawls on his belly out
The town is safe again tonight

Hyena (I see the changes, man)
Hyena (Goin' on 'cross the way)
Hyena (I see my road ahead)
Hyena (Don't know if I should stay)
Hyena (I see you holding him,)
Hyena (and all that I've cried through)
Hyena (God knows you're doin' that, don't you?)




Underneath The Bunker


I will hide and you will hide
And we shall hide together here
Underneath the bunkers in the row

I have water I have rum
Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
Underneath the bunkers in the row
If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together.
Richard M. Nixon
