They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and she felt a spark tingle to her bones It was then she felt alone and wished that shed gone straight And not succumbed to a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal They were confused, I remember so well They stopped into a strange hotel with a neons burnin bright They felt the heat of the night And it hit em like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone somewhere far off played As they were walkin by the arcade As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin up She got the coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And see its just another simple twist of fate He woke up, and the room was bare He didnt see her anywhere He told himself he didnt care, and the windows open wide Felt this emptiness inside to which he could not relate Brought on by this simple twist of fate She hears the ticking of the clock She walks around with a parrot that talks He hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe shell pick him out again, and how long must he wait Brought on by a simple twist of fate People think that its a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring He was born insane, and I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Aint it just like the night to play tricks when youre tryin to be so quiet? We sit here stranded, though were all doin our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But theres nothing, really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, Jeeze I cant find my knees Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel The peddler now speaks to the countess whos pretending to care for him Sayin, Name me someone whos not a parasite and Ill go out and say a prayer for him But like Louise always says Ya cant look at much, can ya man? As she, herself, prepares for him And Madonna, she still hasnt showed We see the empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps on the road He writes evrythings been returned which was owed On the back of the fish trucks that load While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

Señor, Señor, do you know where she is hiding? How long are we gonna be riding? How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door? Will there be any comfort there, Señor? Theres a wicked wind still blowin on that upper deck Theres an iron cross still hanging down from around her neck Theres a marching band still playing in that vacant lot Where she held me in her arms one time and said, Forget me not Señor, Señor, I can hear that painted wagon I can smell the tail of the dragon Cant stand the suspense anymore Can you tell me who to contact here, Señor? Well, the last thing that I remember before I stripped and kneeled Was the trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring She said, Son, this aint a dream no more, its the real thing Señor, Señor, you know their hearts is as hard as leather Well, give me a minute, let me get it together Just gotta pick myself up off the floor Im ready when you are, Señor Señor, Señor, lets overturn these tables And disconnect these cables This place dont make sense to me no more Can you tell me what were waiting for, Señor?

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall She sees the bartender in a pool of blood Cries out, My God, they killed them all! Here comes the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world Three bodies lyin there does Patty see And another man named Bello, movin around mysteriously I didnt do it, he says, and he throws up his hands I was only robbin the register, I hope you understand I saw them leavin, he says, and he stops One of us had better call up the cops. And so Patty calls the cops And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin In the hot New Jersey night Meanwhile, far away in another part of town Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin around Number one contender for the middleweight crown Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road Just like the time before and the time before that In Paterson thats just the way things go If youre black you might as well not show up on the street Less you wanna draw the heat Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin around He said, I saw two men runnin out, they looked like middleweights They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates. And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this ones not dead So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him that he could identify the guilty men Four in the mornin and they haul Rubin in Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dyin eye Says, Whad you bring him in here for? He aint the guy! Yes, heres the story of the Hurricane The man the authorities came to blame For somethin that he never done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world Four months later, the ghettos are in flame Rubins in South America, fightin for his name While Arthur Dexter Bradleys still in the robbery game And the cops are puttin the screws to him, lookin for somebody to blame Remember that murder that happened in a bar? Remember you said you saw the getaway car? You think youd like to play ball with the law? Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin that night? Dont forget that you are white. Arthur Dexter Bradley said, Im really not sure. Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break We got you for the motel job and were talkin to your friend Bello Now you dont wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow Youll be doin society a favor That sonofabitch is brave and gettin braver We want to put his ass in stir We want to pin this triple murder on him He aint no Gentleman Jim. Rubin could take a man out with just one punch But he never did like to talk about it all that much Its my work, hed say, and I do it for pay And when its over Id just as soon go on my way Up to some paradise Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice And ride a horse along a trail But then they took him to the jailhouse Where they try to turn a man into a mouse All of Rubins cards were marked in advance The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance The judge made Rubins witnesses drunkards from the slums To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger No one doubted that he pulled the trigger And though they could not produce the gun The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed And the all-white jury agreed Rubin Carter was falsely tried The crime was murder one, guess who testified? Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fools hand? To see him obviously framed Couldnt help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land Where justice is a game Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell Thats the story of the Hurricane But it wont be over till they clear his name And give him back the time hes done Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been The champion of the world
What good am I - if Im like all the rest If I just turn away - when I see how youre dressed If I shut myself off - so I cant hear you cry What good am I? What good am I - if I know and dont do If I see and dont say - if I look straight through you If I turn a deaf ear - to the thundering sky What good am I? What good am I - while you softly weep And I hear in my head - what you say in your sleep And I freeze in the moment - like the rest who dont try What good am I? What good am I? What good am I then - to others and me If Ive had every chance - and yet still fail to see With my hands tied must I - not wonder within Who tied them and why - and where must I have been? What good am I if I say foolish things And I laugh in the face - of what sorrow brings And I just turn my back - while you silently die What good am I? What good am I? What good am I?

Jak wiele każdy z nas musi przejść By móc człowiekiem się zwać? Jak wiele mórz minąć ma stado mew Nim w końcu usiądzie na piach? Jak wiele salw będzie niósł blady świt Zanim ostatni padnie strzał? Odpowiedź zna wiatr Posłuchaj jego rad Znają, przyjacielu, tylko wiatr Jak wiele dni musisz stać w cieniu chmur Aby błękitu dojrzeć kres? Jak wiele lat musi trwać pasmo krzywd Być ujrzał i ty morze łez? I jak wiele strat musi nieść każdy dzień By cenę istnienia znał świat? Odpowiedź zna wiatr Posłuchaj jego rad Znają, przyjacielu, tylko wiatr Jak wiele pór mus czas zetrzeć w pył By szczyt na powrót sięgnął dna? Jak wiele kłamstw trzeba zmyć ze swych ust Aby wolności poznać smak? I jak wiele smak musi przejść obok nas Byś i ty obojętną zwrócił twarz? Odpowiedź zna wiatr Posłuchaj jego rad Znają, przyjacielu, tylko wiatr

Paroles de la chanson 1913 Massacre : Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen To Calumet, Michigan in the copper country Ill take you to a place called Italian Hall And the miners are having their big Christmas ball Ill take you in a door and up a high stairs Singing and dancing is heard evrywhere Ill let you shake hands with the people you see And watch the kids dance round the big Christmas tree Theres talking and laughing and songs in the air And the spirit of Christmas is there evrywhere Before you know it youre friends with us all And youre dancing around and around in the hall You ask about work and you ask about pay Theyll tell you they make less than a dollar a day Working their copper claims, risking their lives So its fun to spend Christmas with children and wives A little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet To hear all this fun; you would not realize That the copper boss thug men are milling outside The copper boss thugs stuck their heads in the door One of them yelled and he screamed, Theres a fire A lady she hollered, Theres no such a thing; Keep on with your party, theres no such a thing. A few people rushed and theres only a few Its just the thugs and the scabs fooling you. A man grabbed his daughter and he carried her down But the thugs held the door and he could not get out And then others followed, about a hundred or more But most everybody remained on the floor The gun thugs, they laughed at their murderous joke And the children were smothered on the stairs by the Door Such a terrible sight I never did see We carried our children back up to their tree The scabs outside still laughed at their spree And the children that died there was seventy-three The piano played a slow funeral tune And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon The parents, they cried and the men, they moaned See what your greed for money has done?

Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin Like the stillness in the wind Before the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in Oh, the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shakin And the tide will sound And the winds will pound And the morning will be a-breakin Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls theyll be smilin And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they are spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And be buried at the bottom of the ocean A song will lift As the mainsail shifts And the boat drifts out onto the shoreline And the sun will respect Every face on the deck The hour that the ship comes in And the sands will roll Out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a-touchin And the ships wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin Oh the foes will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And theyll jerk from their beds and think theyre dreamin But theyll pinch themselves and squeal And theyll know that its for real The hour that the ship comes in And theyll raise their hands Sayin Well meet all your demands But well shout from the bow Your days are numbered And like the pharaohs tribe Theyll be drownded in the tide Like Goliath theyll be conquered
If youre travelling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there She was once a true love of mine And if youre goin when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see for me she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howling wind Would you see for me that her hairs hanging long? That it rolls and flows all down her breasts See for me that her hairs hanging long Cause thats the way I remember her best But Im a-wondering if she remembers me at all Many times Ive often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day So if youre travelling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine And shell always be a true love of mine And I never, never, never, never give her up
Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the childs 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 fools gold mouthpiece the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born Is busy dying Temptations 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 youd just be one more Person crying So dont fear, if you hear A foreign sound to your ear Its alright, Ma, Im 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 dont 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 Its easy to see without lookin too far That not much is really sacred 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 Though the rules of the road have been lodged Its peoples games that youve got to dodge And its alright, Ma, I can make it Advertising signs that con You into thinking youre the one That can do whats never been done That can win whats never been won Meantime, life outside goes on All around you You lose yourself and then 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 Somebody thinks they really have found you A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know that there is no answer fit To satisfy, ensure 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 Though the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesnt talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony While them that defend what they cannot see With a killers pride, security It blows the minds most bitterly For them that think deaths honesty Wont fall upon em naturally Life sometimes must get lonely My eyes collide head-on with stuffed Graveyards, false goals, I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Tell, alright, Ive had enough What else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen Theyd probably put my head in a guillotine But its alright, Ma, its life, and life only
Close your eyes, close the door You dont have to worry any more Ill be your baby tonight Shut the light, shut the shade You dont have to be afraid Ill be your baby tonight Well, that Mockingbirds gonna sail away Were gonna forget it That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon But were gonna let it, you wont regret it Kick your shoes off, do not fear Bring that bottle over here Ill be your baby tonight
Il bagno turco in fondo al vicolo È affollatissimo di marinai Prova a chiedere a uno che ore sono E ti risponderà non lho saputo mai Girano passaporti senza foto E cartoline dellimpiccagione Lequilibrista e il commissario cieco Vanno a braccetto col prestigiatore E i reparti speciali sono pronti Il circo è già arrivato qui in città Io e la mia signora ci affacciamo stasera Da via della povertà Cenerentola sembra così facile Ogni volta che sorride ti cattura È proprio tale e quale a Bette Davis Con i pollici infilati alla cintura Arriva Romeo sconsolato E si lamenta La mia donna sei tu! Ma qualcuno gli dice Sei nel posto sbagliato Non farti rivedere più E lunico rumore che rimane Dopo che lambulanza se ne va È Cenerentola che lava la strada In via della povertà Adesso si nasconde la luna Anche le stelle sono quasi nascoste Lindovina che legge la fortuna Se ne sta andando con le sue risposte Ad eccezione di Abele e di Caino E del Gobbo di Notre Dame Sono tutti occupati a far lamore Oppure aspettano la pioggia che verrà E il Buon Samaritano si sta cambiando Si mette in tiro per il gran galà Stasera si daranno un bel da fare In via della povertà Einstein con un cappuccio sulla testa E i suoi diari dentro una cassetta Lhanno visto passare appena adesso Insieme a un monaco dallaria circospetta Era così terribile e innocente Quando ha preso e si è fermato qui Ad annusare i fanghi del torrente E a recitare lABC Ed a vederlo tu non lo diresti mai Ma era famoso qualche tempo fa Come virtuoso del violino elettrico In via della povertà Il dottor Lurido dietro la vetrina Nasconde gli angeli di un anno fa Conserva nella formalina I suoi pazienti senza identità Linfermiera che recita il rosario Inginocchiata sulla scrivania Sta controllando le pastiglie del cianuro Nellarmadietto della farmacia E per strada cè parecchia confusione Stanno fischiando, puoi sentirli fin da qua Se appena provi a fare un po attenzione In via della povertà Ci si prepara per la grande festa Si inchiodano le tende alla parete Ecco il Fantasma dellOpera Perfetto nel suo abito da prete Stanno imboccando con dolcezza Casanova Perché si goda la sua felicità Prima di avvelenarlo di parole E di ammazzarlo con la vanità Ed il fantasma grida: Ragazze, vi ho avvertito Andatevene via da qua! Casanova sta per essere punito In via della povertà A mezzanotte scatta il coprifuoco I poliziotti tornano al lavoro Mettono le manette intorno ai polsi DI tutti quelli che ne sanno più di loro I prigionieri vengono portati Uno per uno dentro lofficina Dove la macchina del mal di cuore Gli viene stretta bene sulla schiena E i responsabili dellassicurazione Fanno attenzione a che nessuno esca da qua E scaricano bidoni di benzina In via della povertà Sia lodato Nettuno Imperatore Il Titanic naviga tra i ghiacciai Arriva lalba e i passeggeri gridano Dimmi da che parte stai! E Ezra Pound e Thomas Eliot Discutono sul ponte di comando Suonatori di calypso li deridono La poppa si sta sollevando E le sirene affacciate alle loro finestre sul mare Vanno in giro con mimosa e lillà E non ha più molto senso fermarsi a pensare A via della povertà La tua lettera è arrivata proprio ieri Quando è mancata lelettricità Ma per favore non essere ridicolo Non starmi a chiedere come va Questa gente di cui mi vai parlando Non ha carattere, non ha fisionomia Ho dato a tutti quanti unaltra faccia E ho usato nomi di fantasia Dora in avanti ti prego non insistere Comincio a leggere con difficoltà Sempre che non mi mandi le tue lettere Da via della povertà
When the rain is blowin in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love I know you havent made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong Ive known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong Id go hungry, Id go black and blue Id go crawlin down the avenue No, theres nothin that I wouldnt do To make you feel my love Though storms are raging on the rollin sea And on the highway of regrets Though winds of change are throwing wild and free You aint seen nothin like me yet I could make you happy, make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldnt do Go to the ends of the Earth for you To make you feel my love

Oh the time will come up when the wind will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin Like the stillness in the wind fore the hurricane begins The hour that the ship comes in Oh the seas will split and the ship will hit And the sand on the shoreline will be shakin And the tide will sound and the waves will pound And the mornin will be breakin! Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path And the seagulls, theyll be smilin And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words that are used for to get the ship confused Will not be understood as theyre spoken For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night And be buried on the bottom of the ocean Oh a song will lift as the mainsail shifts And the boat drifts onto the shoreline And the sun will respect every face on the deck The hour that the ship comes in And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touchin And the ships wise men will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin! Of the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes And theyll jerk from their beds and think theyre dreamin But theyll pinch themselves and squeal And theyll know that its for real The hour that the ship comes in And theyll raise their hands sayin Well meet all your demands But well shout from the bow Your days are numbered! And like Pharaohs tribe theyll be drownded in the tide And like Goliath theyll be conquered!

Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin Like the stillness in the wind Fore the hurricane begins The hour when the ship comes in Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking Then the tide will sound And the wind will pound And the morning will be breaking Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls theyll be smiling And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand The hour that the ship comes in And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as theyre spoken For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean A song will lift As the mainsail shifts And the boat that drifts on to the shore line And the sun will respect Every face on the deck The hour that the ship comes in Then the sands will roll Out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a touchin And the ships wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin Oh the foes will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And theyll jerk from their beds and think theyre still dreamin But theyll pinch themselves and squeel And know that its for real The hour that the ship comes in Then theyll raise their hands Sayin well meet all your demands But well shout from the bow your days are numbered And like Pharaohs tribe Theyll be drownded in the tide And like Goliath theyll be conquered
They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones ’Twas then he felt alone And wished that he’d gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old canal A little confused, I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel With a neon burnin’ bright He felt the heat of the night Hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walkin’ by the arcade As the light bust through a beat-up shade Where he was wakin’ up She dropped a coin into the cup Of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up, the room was bare He didn’t see her anywhere He told himself he didn’t care Pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside To which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks Where the sailors all come in Maybe she’ll pick him out again How long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me it’s a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin But I lost the ring She was born in spring But I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate

Scott Fitzgerald’s books You’re very well read It’s well known Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you And then he kneels He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels And without further notice He asks you how it feels And he says, “Here is your throat back Thanks for the loan” Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word “NOW” And you say, “For what reason?” And he says, “How?” And you say, “What does this mean?” And he screams back, “You’re a cow Give me some milk Or else go home” Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mister Jones? Well, you walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground There ought to be a law Against you comin’ around You should be made To wear earphones Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?
