Scolo l'ultimo sorso di birra e osservo l'ultimo spicchio di sole marroncino, che scompare dietro i palazzi. Anche oggi sarà accaduto quello che doveva accadere. Come una terapia, abbiamo cambiato la pelle di nuovo, abbiamo distrutto, chiavato, pompato, cantato, sorriso, roteato, e ci siamo costruiti la nostra corazza lucida e resistente, che serve a darci coraggio. Ma questa si sa, durerà circa 17 ore, poi ci sarà di nuovo il nulla. E ne avremo di nuovo bisogno. Forse quaggiù lo scopo è quello di trovare l'altra metà della mela, oppure di saltare giù da un palazzo e magicamente non cadere al suolo, chissà. Intanto serve un po' di calma, soltanto questo.
E dunque anche oggi mi somministro la mia medicina marrone, che è un po' come un satori quotidiano. Il significato di questa parola è illuminazione. Sono poche le canzoni che hanno questa capacità, come spesso sono esigue le trame che le compongono: Golden Brown vive semplicemente di un evocativo fraseggio di voce e di una spinetta che respira a mò di valzer. Non so se il satori avuto per scrivere questa canzone sia stato frutto dell'eroina, fatto sta che Cornwell e compagni, in essa, creano trame tanto meravigliose quanto delicate, come le facce di un cristallo. Che il marrone dorato sia stato generato da aurali evocazioni psicologiche, magari associate a frasi dal suono magico e multiplo? Non saprei. La cosa evidente è che questa canzone non ha un'età comprensibile, potrebbe avere 10 come 254 anni. E non ha molta importanza a dire il vero.
Questa è una delle più belle canzoni di sempre.
Golden brown, consistenza di sole
Buttato giù con la mia mente lei corre
Durante tutta la notte
Non c'è bisogno di combattere
Mai un cruccio col marrone dorato
Ogni volta proprio come l'ultima
Legato sulla sua nave all'albero maestro
Verso terre lontane
Prendi entrambe le mie mani
Mai un cruccio col marrone dorato
Marrone dorato tentazione più bella
Attraverso le età lei è a capo dell'occidente
Da lontano
Resta per un giorno
Mai un cruccio col marrone dorato
Mai un cruccio
Col marrone dorato
Mai un cruccio
Col marrone dorato

05 Golden Brown (04:15)
Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown
Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown
Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown
(distant la la la la la la la la leeeah)
Never a frown
(voice echoes)
With golden brown
(voice echoes)
Never a frown
(voice echoes)
With golden brown
(voice echoes)
08 Always the Sun (04:03)
How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.
How many times have you been told if you don't ask you don't get?
How many times have you wasted your money? your Mother said you shouldnt bet.
Who has the fun?
Is it always a man with a gun?
Someone must have told you if you work to hard you can sweat?
There's always the sun.
mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always,always the sun.
How many times has the weatherman told you stories that made you laugh?
You know its not upto the Politicians and leaders, when they do things by halves.
Who gets the job?
Of pushing the knob.
Thats what responsibility you draw straws for if your mad enough.
There's always the sun.
mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always,always the sun.
There's always the sun.
mmmm
There's always the sun.
Always, always,always the sun.
09 Strange Little Girl (02:45)
one day you see a strange little girl look at you
one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
she'd run to the town one day
leaving home and the country fair
just beware
when you're there
strange little girl
she didn't know how to live in a town that was rough
it didn't take long before she knew she had enough
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
and she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she's feeling old
cuz she found all things cold
strange little girl
where are you going?
do you know where you could be going?
12 European Female (03:35)
I knew she was a feline
She moved with ease and grace
Her green eyes they held mystery
No emotion on her face
She speaks her lips are kissing
The air around her face
I don't always understand her
I love her air and grace
The European female she is here
The European female's here
We'll be together for a thousand years
And do you really fear
That you might fall
I saw her in the Strasse
And in the Rue as well
Pursued her in the high street
She had me in her spell
13 5 Minutes (03:37)
I need a dream where I can live what I said
I need a place where I can make my bed
I need a hole where I'll find darkness now
And if you hassle me mister I might just loose my head
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
They came home on Saturday night
They killed a cat and they raped his wife
And in their eyes there was fear and hate
And when they spoke, they spoke with knives
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Some say that I should hate them all
But I say that wouldn't help at all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all, that's all
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
The night time comes and the streets they ring
With the fears of a thousand things
But if you worry about your ports of call
You'll never get nothing done at all
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Five minutes and you're almost there
Five minutes and you're almost dead
Some say that I should hate them all
But I say that wouldn't help at all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all
