O Nick Cave ΜΟΥΣΙΚΗ για την Ελλάδα των δακρυγόνων

ΜΟΥΣΙΚΗ Στη συλλεκτική έκδοση του νέου άλμπουμ των Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Push the sky away, Rough Trade rec, υπάρχει ένα bonus track, το Lightning Bolts, γραμμένο για την Eλλάδα των δακρυγόνων. Δυστυχώς όμως η Ελλάδα δεν είναι μέσα στην επερχόμενη ευρωπαϊκή του περιοδεία. Δε μπορείς να τα έχεις όλα.

Διαβάστε τους στίχους και ακούστε το Lightning Bolts εδώ:
Two lightning bolts were delivered to my room/ They were gifts from Zeus
I rock the bolts in a basinet of pine/ People ask me how I am
I say I am all right/ I’m fine!

I push the lightning bolt in a pram/ Till the sun goes down & it gets dark
The girls from Jubilee Street hang out their windows
And they wave & ask me how I am tonight/ I say I am good/ I’m all right!

In Athens all the youths are crying from the gas/
I’m bu the hotelpool working on a tan/ People come up and ask me who I am
I say if you don’t know/ Don’t ask/ Zeus laughs but it’s the gas
He asks me how I am/ I say Zeus don’t ask

My lightning bolts are jolts of joy/ They are joy boys from Zeus
I fed them porridge in their booster seats of knowledge
And in the cradle of democracy the pigeons are wearing gas masks
My lightning bolts play in the elevators
They slide down the hotel banister/ And Zeus throws a gas canister
And it spins around the pool/ As pigeons wearing respirators
Steal the lightning bolts/ Zeus wants them back

O my bolts of joy!/ O my darling little boys!
They are lost to us/ And people/ They are never coming back
At night I watch them sleep/ And cry years of tears
And it’s not the gas/ People ask me how we are
We are I say,
mostly lost
