Come over to the window, my little darling,
Id like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home.

Chorus: so long marianne, its time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

Well, you know that I love to live with you,
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angel
And then the angels forget to pray for us.

Chorus

We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark.

Chorus

Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.

Chorus

For now I need your hidden love
Im cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave.

Chorus

O you are really such a pretty one
I see youve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain.

S. H. B









Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alleyway
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
Phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says the men they say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don’t try No-Doz
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Hangin' bell, hard to tell
If anything is gonna sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, ride rail
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
By losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hangin' 'round the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Oh get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed
Get blessed, try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Ya can't afford the scandal
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handle

歡活在怡人的藍色裡~


 


 


 


In lieblicher Bläue blühet


                                                                                                 --Friedrich Hölderlin
 
In lieblicher Bläue blühet
mit dem metallenen Dache der Kirchthurm. Den umschwebet
Geschrei der Schwalben, den umgiebt die rührendste Bläue.
Die Sonne gehet hoch darüber und färbet das Blech,
im Winde aber oben stille krähet die Fahne.
Wenn einer unter der Gloke dann herabgeht, jene Treppen,
ein stilles Leben ist es, weil,
wenn abgesondert so sehr die Gestalt ist,
die Bildsamkeit herauskommt dann des Menschen.
Die Fenster, daraus die Gloken tönen, sind wie Thore an Schönheit.
Nemlich, weil noch der Natur nach sind die Thore,
haben diese die Ähnlichkeit von Bäumen des Walds.
Reinheit aber ist auch Schönheit.
Innen aus Verschiedenem entsthet ein ernster Geist.
So sehr einfältig aber die Bilder, so sehr heilig sind die, daß
man wirklich oft fürchtet, die zu beschreiben.
Die Himmlischen aber, die immer gut sind,
alles zumal, wie Reiche, haben diese, Tugend und Freude.
Der Mensch darf das nachahmen.
Darf, wenn lauter Mühe das Leben, ein Mensch
aufschauen und sagen: so will ich auch seyn?
Ja. So lange die Freundlichkeit noch am Herzen, die Reine,
dauert, misset nicht unglüklich der Mensch sich
der Gottheit.
Ist unbekannt Gott? Ist er offenbar wie die Himmel?
dieses glaub' ich eher. Des Menschen Maaß ist's.
Voll Verdienst, doch dichterisch,
wohnet der Mensch auf dieser Erde. Doch reiner
ist nicht der Schatten der Nacht mit den Sternen,
wenn ich so sagen könnte,
als der Mensch, der heißet ein Bild der Gottheit. 
 
 
Giebt auf Erden ein Maaß?
Es giebt keines. Nemlich
es hemmen der Donnergang nie die Welten des Schöpfers.
Auch eine Blume ist schön, weil sie blühet unter der Sonne.
Es findet das Aug' oft im Leben
Wesen, die viel schöner noch zu nennen wären
als die Blumen. O! ich weiß das wohl!
Denn zu bluten an Gestalt und Herz,
und ganz nicht mehr zu seyn, gefällt das Gott?
Die Seele aber, wie ich glaube, muß rein bleiben,
sonst reicht an das Mächtige auf Fittigen der Adler mit lobendem Gesange
und der Stimme so vieler Vögel.
Es ist die Wesenheit, die Gestalt ist's.
Du schönes Bächlein, du scheinest rührend, indem du rollest so klar,
wie das Auge der Gottheit, durch die Milchstraße.
Ich kenne dich wohl,
aber Thränen quillen aus dem Auge. Ein heiteres Leben
seh' ich in den Gestalten mich umblühen der Schöpfung, weil
ich es nicht unbillig vergleiche den einsamen Tauben auf dem Kirchhof.
Das Lachen aber scheint mich zu grämen der Menschen,
nemlich ich hab' ein Herz.
Möcht' ich ein Komet seyn?
Ich glaube. Denn sie haben Schnelligkeit der Vögel; sie blühen an Feuer,
und sind wie Kinder an Reinheit.
Größeres zu wünschen, kann nicht des Menschen Natur sich vermessen.
Der Tugend Heiterkeit verdient auch gelobt zu werden vom ernsten Geiste,
der zwischen den drei Säulen wehet
des Gartens. Eine schöne Jungfrau muß das Haupt umkränzen
mit Myrthenblumen, weil sie einfach ist
ihrem Wesen nach und ihrem Gefühl. Myrthen aber
giebt es in Griechenland. 
 
 
Wenn einer in der Spiegel siehet,
ein Mann, und siehet darinn sein Bild,wie abgemahlt;
es gleicht dem Manne.
Augen hat des Menschen Bild,
hingegen Licht der Mond.
Der König Ödipus hat ein Auge zuviel vieleicht.
Diese Leiden dieses Mannes, sie scheinen unbeschreiblich, unaussprechlich,
unausdrüklich.
Wenn das Schauspiel ein solches darstellt, kommt's daher.
Wie ist mir's aber, gedenk' ich deiner jetzt?
Wie Bäche reißt des Ende von Etwas mich dahin,
welches sich wie Asien ausdehnet.
Natürlich dieses Leiden, das hat Ödipus.
Natürlich ist's darum.
Hat auch Herkules gelitten?
Wohl. Die Dioskuren in ihrer Freundschaft
haben die nicht Leiden auch getragen? Nemlich
wie Herkules mit Gott zu streiten, das ist Leiden.
Und die Unsterblichkeit im Neide dieses Leben,
diese zu theilen, ist ein Leiden auch.
Doch das ist auch ein Leiden, wenn mit Sommerfleken ist bedekt ein Mensch,
mit manchen Fleken ganz überdekt zu seyn! das thut die schöne Sonne :
nemlich die ziehet alles auf.
Die Jünglinge führt die Bahn sie mit Reizen ihrer Strahlen
wie mit Rosen.
Die Leiden scheinen so,
die Ödipus getragen,
als wie ein armer Mann klagt,
daß ihm etwas fehle.
Sohn Laios, armer Fremdling in Griechenland!
Leben ist Tod, und Tod ist auch ein Leben.

むらかみ はるき在耶路撒冷:Always on the side of the egg









 


 


I have come to Jerusalem today as a novelist, which is to say as a professional spinner of lies.

Of course, novelists are not the only ones who tell lies. Politicians do it, too, as we all know. Diplomats and military men tell their own kinds of lies on occasion, as do used car salesmen, butchers and builders. The lies of novelists differ from others, however, in that no one criticizes the novelist as immoral for telling them. Indeed, the bigger and better his lies and the more ingeniously he creates them, the more he is likely to be praised by the public and the critics. Why should that be?

The reason for this, of course, was the fierce battle that was raging in Gaza. The UN reported that more than a thousand people had lost their lives in the blockaded Gaza City, many of them unarmed citizens - children and old people.

This is not to say that I am here to deliver a political message. To make judgments about right and wrong is one of the novelist's most important duties, of course.

It is left to each writer, however, to decide upon the form in which he or she will convey those judgments to others. I myself prefer to transform them into stories - stories that tend toward the surreal. Which is why I do not intend to stand before you today delivering a direct political message.

Please do, however, allow me to deliver one very personal message. It is something that I always keep in mind while I am writing fiction. I have never gone so far as to write it on a piece of paper and paste it to the wall: Rather, it is carved into the wall of my mind, and it goes something like this:

"Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."

Yes, no matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg. Someone else will have to decide what is right and what is wrong; perhaps time or history will decide. If there were a novelist who, for whatever reason, wrote works standing with the wall, of what value would such works be?

What is the meaning of this metaphor? In some cases, it is all too simple and clear. Bombers and tanks and rockets and white phosphorus shells are that high, solid wall. The eggs are the unarmed civilians who are crushed and burned and shot by them. This is one meaning of the metaphor.

This is not all, though. It carries a deeper meaning. Think of it this way. Each of us is, more or less, an egg. Each of us is a unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell. This is true of me, and it is true of each of you. And each of us, to a greater or lesser degree, is confronting a high, solid wall. The wall has a name: It is The System. The System is supposed to protect us, but sometimes it takes on a life of its own, and then it begins to kill us and cause us to kill others - coldly, efficiently, systematically.

I have only one reason to write novels, and that is to bring the dignity of the individual soul to the surface and shine a light upon it. The purpose of a story is to sound an alarm, to keep a light trained on The System in order to prevent it from tangling our souls in its web and demeaning them. I fully believe it is the novelist's job to keep trying to clarify the uniqueness of each individual soul by writing stories - stories of life and death, stories of love, stories that make people cry and quake with fear and shake with laughter. This is why we go on, day after day, concocting fictions with utter seriousness.

My father died last year at the age of 90. He was a retired teacher and a part-time Buddhist priest. When he was in graduate school, he was drafted into the army and sent to fight in China. As a child born after the war, I used to see him every morning before breakfast offering up long, deeply-felt prayers at the Buddhist altar in our house. One time I asked him why he did this, and he told me he was praying for the people who had died in the war.

He was praying for all the people who died, he said, both ally and enemy alike. Staring at his back as he knelt at the altar, I seemed to feel the shadow of death hovering around him.

My father died, and with him he took his memories, memories that I can never know. But the presence of death that lurked about him remains in my own memory. It is one of the few things I carry on from him, and one of the most important.

I have only one thing I hope to convey to you today. We are all human beings, individuals transcending nationality and race and religion, fragile eggs faced with a solid wall called The System. To all appearances, we have no hope of winning. The wall is too high, too strong - and too cold. If we have any hope of victory at all, it will have to come from our believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others' souls and from the warmth we gain by joining souls together.

Take a moment to think about this. Each of us possesses a tangible, living soul. The System has no such thing. We must not allow The System to exploit us. We must not allow The System to take on a life of its own. The System did not make us: We made The System.

That is all I have to say to you.

I am grateful to have been awarded the Jerusalem Prize. I am grateful that my books are being read by people in many parts of the world. And I am glad to have had the opportunity to speak to you here today.


Gallant Freddie..



 




Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Say your prayers little one Dont forget, my son To include everyone Tuck you in, warm within Keep you free from sin Till the sandman he comes Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Somethings wrong, shut the light Heavy thoughts tonight And they arent of snow white Dreams of war, dreams of liars Dreams of dragons fire And of things that will bite Sleep with one eye open Gripping your pillow tight Exit light Enter night Take my hand Off to never never land Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, dont say a word And never mind that noise you heard Its just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head Exit light Enter night Grain of sand Exit light Enter night Take my hand Were off to never never land

As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver


Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da Wack fall the daddy-o, wack fall the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar


I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the women for they never can be easy


I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder But Jenny blew me charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter


't was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken


Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling but I take delight in the juice of the barley and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early


If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny


 



Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in this town See me and the boys we dont like it So were getting up and going down Hiding low looking right to left If you see us coming I think its best To move away do you hear what I say From under my breath Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Dont you be around Tonight theres gonna be trouble Some of us wont survive See the boys and me mean business Bustin out dead or alive I can hear the hound dogs on my trail All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail Like the game if you lose Go to jail Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Tonight theres gonna trouble Im gonna find myself in Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So woman stay with a friend You know its safer Breakout!

Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak So dont you be around Tonight theres gonna be trouble Im gonna find myself in Tonight theres gonna be trouble So woman stay with a friend








There was a friend of mine on murder And the judges gavel fell Jury found him guilty Gave him sixteen years in hell He said I aint spending my life here I aint living alone Aint breaking no rocks on the chain gang Im breakin out and headin home Gonna make a jailbreak And Im lookin towards the sky Im gonna make a jailbreak Oh, how I wish that I could fly All in the name of liberty All in the name of liberty Got to be free Jailbreak, let me out of here Jailbreak, sixteen years Jailbreak, had more than I can take Jailbreak, yeah He said hed seen his lady being fooled with By another man She was down and he was up He had a gun in his hand Bullets started flying everywhere And people started to scream Big man lying on the ground With a hole in his body Where his life had been But it was - All in the name of liberty All in the name of liberty I got to be free Jailbreak, jailbreak I got to break out Out of here Heartbeats they were racin Freedom he was chasin Spotlights, sirens, rifles firing But he made it out With a bullet in his back









I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail A starry night, a campfire light The coyote call, the howling winds wail So I ride out to the old sundown I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail Lord, Im just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Running free with the buffalo I was took in texas I did not know her name Lord, all these southern girls seem the same Down below the border in a town in mexico I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and set me free The cowboys life is the life for me
