Gestern hatte Ray Davies Geburtstag, Seinen 81.
Ein Songschreiber, der auf Augenhöhe mit Lennon/McCartney und Jagger/Richards arbeitete, aber dem die Anerkennung, die den anderen zuteil wurde, oft versagt wurde.
Thank you, for the days, Ray.
Und ein wenig ein autobiografisches Lied.
H. weiß, zur Zeit ist der Blog musiklastig.
20th Century Man
(er hält sich nicht immer an den Text)
I was born in a welfare stateRuled by bureaucracyControlled by civil servantsAnd people dressed in greyGot no privacy, got no liberty'Cause the twentieth century peopleTook it all away from me
This is the age of machineryA mechanical nightmareThe wonderful world of technologyNapalm hydrogen bombs biological warfare
This is the twentieth centuryBut too much aggravationIt's the age of insanityWhat has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem
Ain't got no ambitionI'm just disillusionedI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want, I don't want to be here
Yeah we gotta get out of hereWe gotta find a solutionI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want, I don't want to die here
Girl, we gotta get out of hereWe gotta find a solutionI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want, I don't want to die here
My mama said she can't understand meShe can't see my motivationJust give me some securityI'm a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century
You keep all your smart modern writersGive me William ShakespeareYou keep all your smart modern paintersI'll take Rembrandt, Titian, Da Vinci and Gainsborough
Yeah we gotta get out of hereWe gotta find a solutionI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want, I don't want to die here
Girl, we gotta get out of hereWe gotta find a solutionI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want, I don't want to be here
Don't want to get myself shot downBy some trigger happy policemanGotta keep a hold on my sanityI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to die here
My mama says she can't understand meShe can't see my motivationAin't got no securityI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to die here
I don't want twentieth century, manI don't want twentieth century, manI don't want twentieth century, manI don't want twentieth century, man
This is the twentieth centuryBut too much aggravationThis is the edge of insanityI'm a twentieth century man but I don't want to be here
