"....
It sure is hell living in a one horse town
There's half a mile of Alabama mud bed ground
Nothing much doing of an afternoon
Unless you're sitting in a rocking chair just picking a tune....."

"You... who would have liked to play Hamlet
But the offers you received
They're great love melodramas
And soap operas by the mile
In your star uniform
You put on shows and conquests
You had your eyes re-enlarged
But how do you make them blue
Hong Kong star
You weren't born where you wanted
You don't have the skin you need
That of the real land of the dollar
Hong Kong star
You don't thank the chance
In your junk shop of Las Vegas
You dream in black and white
Hong Kong star
You have a Chinese man in your mirror
You're just a Hong Kong star
To play with Faye Dunaway
You're not really "on the way"
For the young leading men on your island
Hollywood is an easy dream
Hong Kong star
You weren't born where you wanted
You don't have the skin you need It would be necessary
That of the true country of the dollar....."
HONG KONG STAR, France Gall, 1984 (translated version).

"Being wiry and thinking loudly
About the things sent to make you move
You can't help it, there's no one in the world
Knows you just, just the way you do
So we keep darting through the holes
As the hunter and the fox
Run the gauntlet's savage road
And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire
You'll never see me slow down, for a while
'Cause I am the fox, like it or not
I'm always gonna be there running over the rock
Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross
Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox
Yes I am the fox...."

"Waiting up all night
There's something on my mind
I need to tell you why
He's playing you for a fool
He's fooling 'round on you
And i just lost my cool
Feeling so sad
Too bad for the running man
Cause he waits too long so he can't
Come back again
Too bad for the running man
Cause i'm rright here waiting to make
That girl forget
Too bad for the running man, goodbye
Life isn't what it seems
Or something in a dream
That's not quite what i mean
I need to say goodbye
You think i didn't try
I'm not that other guy
I'm feeling so sad
Too bad for the running man
Cuase he waits too long so he can't
Come back again
Too bad for the running man
Cause I'm right here waiting to help
That girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye..."

"In a little village near the Spanish border
Lives Maria, the girl I left behind
She is just that kind of woman
That in dreams I'd always keep in mind
She looks pretty and I won't forget her
I'm sure there's no-one else for me to find
Long black hair with eyes like burning fire in the
night
I remember how we danced under the silvery moon
While the Spanish guitars play that night our lover's
tune
I remember how we kissed under the silvery moon
Girl, I never realized how I would miss her soon
In a little Spanish town down by the border
Lives a Spanish rose I always keep in mind..."

"I knew the stakes were high right from the start.
When she dealt the cards, I bet my heart.
Now I just found a game that I can't play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun,
Setting on the things I wish I'd done.
It's time to say goodbye to yesterday.
This is where the cowboy rides away.
We've been in and out of love and in-between.
And now we play the final showdown scene.
As the credits roll a sad song starts to play,
And this is where the cowboy rides away.
Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say.
This is where the cowboy rides away..."

"Let me step outside myself
Will you try to hold my hand
What if I told you when the smoke clears
You're the only one who can
I know I've tried you, defied and denied you
Thrown punches in the air
Closed my eyes and count to ten
Praying you'll still be standing there...."

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife...."

The umpteenth +2 in the 'Just Like Belgium' series...
Waffles are eaten a lot at fairs in Belgium, especially the Liège waffles. These are eaten warm.
Popular in tearooms are the Brussels waffles, with a generous dollop of whipped cream, or with jam or sugar (possibly with butter). It is customary to drink a hot drink with them, especially chocolate milk or coffee. There are also softer waffles, which can be eaten warm or cold.
"Remember Belgium and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps like stray cavaliers
Our code of living meant little to others
The few francs we saved bought some cheap souvenirs
But the red lights where the catfights make it just like Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of your spare change
And your sweet madam makes it seem just like Belgium
Just like a hustler when they look attractive
It's nothing more than a slap on the back
The price tag of being just a little bit different
The first rule to learn is to keep your own distance..."
JUST LIKE BELGIUM - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1981.

"How can you say life's getting you down
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
You're all dressed-up got nowhere to go
You feel left out 'cause nobody showed
Listen babe
When you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere
Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special, special
Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they ain't good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel
And you know what
When it's hard to satisfy
A simple simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side
Waiting for you, crying
Maybe your heart's tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to
Wipe off that negativity
Put on some positivity
And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere..."
SOMEBODY SPECIAL - Rod Stewart, 1980.

"I couldn't say
How big my love is
I can't explain
How often I miss you
Not a single word of love
Ever passes my mouth
But you know still waters
Have the deepest ground
If only you could look
Deep into my heart Angelina
Then you would see how your name
Is written there in big
With more than a thousand words
Of love so soft
If only you could look
Deep into my heart
I couldn't say
Why I love you
I can't explain
What I like about you
Because talking about love
Is something I avoid
It is not a sign
Of indifference
If only you could look
Deep into my heart Angelina
Then you would see how your name
Is written there in red
With more than a thousand words
Of love so soft
If only you could look
Deep into my heart...."
ANGELINA is a song by Will Tura (Flanders) from 1968. Here is a translated version.

"... Are you unhappy, perhaps you're in pain?
Then think about the sun and sing this song
Oh, let the sun into your heart

Enjoy life
For it lasts for just one moment
Oh, let the sun into your heart
She shines for everyone, after all
Enjoy life
For it lasts for just one moment...."

"On and on
The story of our lives goes on and on
The path of time
The sunsets up ahead roll along
In your eyes
The option of a warm embrace implies
You're my friend
Happy endings keep our love alive
And tell me do I fit in the big picture
Do I have a shot at the big part
'Cause I've been up all night looking at the big picture
I've got some good lines for my big star
Wanna be your main man in the big picture
What a deal to get a part like this
Day to day
The shifting wind just blows us on our way
Here and there
Our pockets full of things to say
Oh my love
I proudly represent you in this world
Little satellite
Brightest star tonight, oh my love
Hope I got a future in the big picture
At the last embrace from the first kiss..."

When Christopher Columbus reached the American continent in 1492, he thought he had reached India. When he saw the natives of the region and met with them, he thought he was meeting with people of India, who were called Indians.
So he decided to call the Native Americans as Indians. He soon realized his mistake and found out that he wasn’t in India but on a new continent. However, the name ‘Indians’ stuck and it has been used to refer to the Native Americans to this day. (wikipedia)

"Well I woke up this mornin', looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow, I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow, please drive her on home
'Cause I ain't had no milk and butter since that cows been gone
Well you gotta treat me right honey day by day
Get out your little prayer book, get down upon your knees and pray
'Cause you're gonna need me, you're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry, oh, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing till you lose your happy home
Well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening, don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely when your lover ain't no place around
Well I tried everything baby to get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my crying, gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me, you ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey where in this world I've gone

Somewhere along Route 66...
"My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And its fuel is the years
Leading me on – leading me down the road
Driving beyond – driving me down the road
My love is exceeding the limit
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while at the side
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back – no
There is no turning back – on the run
My love is in league with the freeway
Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time
My love
My love is in league with the freeway..."

Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough, yeah
You'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long
And maybe I'll be real strong
Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me, girl
Baby, let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight
And do things right...."
You'll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
But I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you, uh
You'll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees...."
FAST AS YOU - Dwight Yoakam, 1993.

"... 'Cause she was made in heaven
And heaven's in the world
Oh, she was made in heaven
Yes, heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love?
Know I'm crazy for the girl
Just crazy for the girl
Na-na-na-na
Go, well I don't want no sugar in it
No, thank you very, very, very
Wired up on it, all fired up on it
Expresso touch, woo-hoo
Na-na, na
Hey maestro, expresso now
Hey maestro, she said "Expresso now"
It's just another one, just like the other one
It's just another one, just like the other other one
Woah, hey maestro, expresso now
I say, hey maestro, expresso
I need another one…"

Texas.
Sometimes far into the night,
And until the morning light,

To be in Texas.

Amoreena, Pinky & Crystal. All inspired by Elton Hohn music with lyrics by Bernie Taupin.
"Lately, I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in a cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh, like a puppy, child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
I can see you sitting eating apples in the evening
The fruit juice, flowing slowly, slowly, slowly
Down the bronze of your body
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, oh, like a puppy, child
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
Oh, if only I could nestle
In the cradle of your cabin
My arm's around your shoulder, whoa
The window's wide and open
While the swallow and the sycamore, whoa
Are playing in the valley
Oh, I miss you, Amoreena
Like the king bee misses honey
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other
And when it rains, the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she's far away somewhere
In her eiderdown
And she dreams of crystal streams
Of days gone by when we would lean
Laughing, fit to burst upon each other, oh
Lately, I've been thinking, oh, how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in a cornfield, oh, brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay, whoa, like a puppy, like a puppy, child..."

"Somebody's out there feeling down tonight
Somebody's hurtin' and we all know why
Sometimes all of love just isn't fair
People sometimes don't know how to care
Yeah, we've all been there
When the rain is the tears of a long forgotten love
And the wind blows like the song of a lonesome dove
There ain't no shame to feel the pain
When your all alone, when your all alone
And the tears won't dry
Til you cry...."
TIL YOU CRY is a song from Juice Newton, 1988.

Famous Blue Raincoat
Music & lyrics by Leonard Cohen 1971
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --
She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear --
Sincerely, L. Cohen

She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, and she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But Jason's not my son
She says I am the one, but Jason's not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice,
Just remember to always think twice
(Don't think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced 'till three
Then she looked at me
Then showed a photo, my baby cried
His eyes looked like mine
Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover

"She threw back that shiny hair
Like the mane on a Delta Queen
Gonna spend my last dime on a telephone call
'Cause she's the wildest thing I've ever seen
She was just plain 'mister' once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood
Now they call her the cat
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty, he got something to scratch
So they call her, yeah they call her the cat
She just does that double act
She got Babs and Joan down pat
She got hips like Mick, she's a Rolling Stone
Never seen a woman shake like that
She was just plain 'mister' once
Got herself fixed up real good
Just a little boy lost in the land of the free
A wiggle and a walk away from womanhood
She's so fine that the water line
Don't separate hot and cold
She got stitched up bitchy by an old M.D.
Now she's headed out to Hollywood or so I'm told
And that's a stone fact
They took a little of this
She got a little of that
Now Billy got a kitty, he got something to scratch
So they call her, yeah they call her the cat..."

"As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind, I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh, when I'm old and wise....."

"Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of Texas
When she was just a girl
But old Tennessee and me
Couldn't take Texas out of her
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
By now she's leaving Memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord I hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee
If I could move Texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If Dallas was in Tennessee
Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her..."

Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill

Why does it grieve me so
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low
My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill
My Lady D'Arbanville
You look so cold tonight
Your legs feel like winter
Your skin has turned to white, your skin has turned to white

Why do you sleep so still
I'll wake you tomorrow
And you will be my fill, yes you will be my fill
My Lady D'Arbanville
Why do you grieve me so
But your heart seems so silent
Why do you breathe so low, why do you breathe so low

I'll always be with you

"....
Lamplighters silently move through the night
He plays his hurdy-gurdy before their hairy faces
Sleep soundly, slumber softly
A paladin with his soldiers
Stays listening to him for a moment
Yet his dish remains empty, they laugh
Only a girl remains, talking
A thin girl of pleasure
Why don't you play another song?
Your eyes and your mouth are cold
I don't know the chorus
I wear a key of gold on my breasts
The light in my eye is a star that fades
I can't be like this
Master Prikkebeen, Master Prikkebeen
People walk past him
He remains alone, Master Prikkebeen..."

"Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again..."

TANGLED UP IN BLUE
Music & lyrics by Bob Dylan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wond'ring if she'd changed it all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
And I was standing on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split it up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around to look at me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over my shoulder
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"
Tangled up in blue.
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.
She was working in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at her side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said, "Zimmy, don't I know your name?"
I muttered something underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello" she said
"You look like the silent type"
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue.
So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they're doing with their lives
But me I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in Blue.

"I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate?
And do they know the places where we go
When we're grey and old?
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm lovin' angels instead
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm lovin' angels instead..."

" 'Western skies' don't make it right
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Left to die on a high ridge fence
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold, cold wind
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
See two coyotes run down a deer
Hate what we don't understand
You pioneers give us your children
But it's your blood that stains their hands..."

Slave
Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1972
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can
Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground
Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave
There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

"Lookin' out on the evening light
You see the lightnin' and the thunder rollin' in
As you strain to keep that setting sun in sight
Ya start to get that Summer feelin' back again
Of a time
Lost in illusion
Not afraid to cross that line
You say you're searchin' for some common ground
The golden thread that keeps us all together
And you wish these troubled times would turn around
Bring back just a little warmer weather to your life
To shine through the sorrow
And not fade out with the morning light
But you don't have to close your eyes
You don't have to turn away
You can't expect to take the right road every morning
When you start to feel the words get in the way
Listen to your heart
And what it has to say
You say you're lookin' to leave the danger zone
Lookin to leave off all this pain and sorrow
And you hate so much to live your life alone
But with half a chance you'd say good-bye tomorrow
To be free
From all this confusion
And hav it like it used to be
Soft as a Summer day
Warm as a gentle breeze
Rollin' out across the sea...."
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART - Little Feat, 1988.
