Acquittal - Ophelia's Garden
Like a gift for a child, I've been waiting for your smile
Like a traitor in fight, I've received the hate
In the night I'm fading slow, In the morning I'm reborn
From my ashes I grow
Sing to my soul, embrace me deep
And bring me inner comfort in the nights that I can't sleep
Angels in dust have brought my prize
And everything turned up like purple paradise
Over me.
"Judging with no defense" is the way to find your heart
"Cause pain for innocence" is the lesson from the start
I began to look for you when I killed the dream inside
You were waiting for me
Sing to my soul, embrace me deep
And bring me inner comfort in the nights that I can't sleep
Angels in dust have brought my prize
And everything turned up like purple paradise
Over me.
How can one find the line between quilt and innocence?
And how can your sun shine when your life does make no sense?
I remember a tale, ending where the dragon wins
I remember it well
Eternal song, my sadness will be
And when you listen to it you'll be thinking of me
Angels in dust have brought my prize
And everything turned up like purple paradise
Over me

Jerry Jeff Walker - Stoney
I first ran into Stoney. . . it was a bar downtown;
Was Richmond, Virginia. . . we were bumming around,
Suitcase to suitcase. . . we started him talking,
Finding out about the things we've shared in the miles we've been.
He had a gray pillowcase full of books by Durrell,
And he had this old concertina, all beat up and she played like hell,
Until you got him started singing those Gospel songs,
Well, he drank all night for nothing, he told his stories till dawn.
And he said, "Come on, get your bag, boy! Sun's up now and it's time to roll!
Hell, you know there ain't no better time than early in the morning
To be out walking down that road!
Just feeling another day beginning while some fools just rushing on by,
We'll be like some Mr. Independence: we're taking our own sweet time!"
We walked on out that highway under a clear blue sky,
I's listening to the tales he told, drinking warm red wine.
'Bout the night he rolled seven; bout some girl he'd done wrong;
'Bout everything he could think of while we walked along.
Yeah, ol' Stoney had a magic; made him hard to forget.
Like the night we flew down the highway (his old pickup, it nearly wrecked!)
Was a crazy woman driving, all drunked up and carrying on;
Till Stoney finally calmed her singing those Gospel songs.
Well, we split the road at Norwood, and he just shook my hand.
He said, "I'll see you some place, friend," but you know he never has.
But we were that free then, just walking down the road,
Never really caring where that highway goes.
Yeah, Stoney was a liar (a bullshitter!) ain't no doubt about it.
It was just the way he told things, and you never want to doubt him.
'Cause he kept you going when the road got rough,
And brought you through the lean times by making it up.
"Hey, did I ever tell you the time I married my cousin up in Las Vegas?"
Yeah, Stoney. Tell it again, will you?

OZIUM
...
I'm up to my brain in the mire of an ancient swamp
Pteranadon smiles at me and flies up to god
baby let me drink deep from your globes of reality
Writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove
Baby give your tongue a taste and follow me up to my room
the Bullgod has your head, and baby that's just fine
now it is time, we became the mighty cell
wrap those hungry jacks to the mindless groove
They say we've got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true
I will not be denied, I will not be denied
Baby, the faster you gyrate the faster we'll be there
Arms up overhead, a goddess in the ancient song
work that mighty world to the mindless groove
They say we've got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true
I will not be denied, I will not be denied
They say we've got a lifetime, but whe know that ain't true
I will not be denied, I will not be denied

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school,
and you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar
He always ate in the steak bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There’s a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she’s trying to be james dean
She’s seen all the disciples and all the wanna be’s
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there’s nothing to hold on to but these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain’t a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, love don’t last in this graceless age
There ain’t nobody left but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy - he said momma I’ve got to try
Don’t you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I’d rather die than fade away
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain’t a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don’t lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain’t nobody left but us these days
I know rome’s still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keepd turning round and round and round and round
These days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
But these days - there ain’t a ladder on these streets
These days are fast, love don’t lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain’t nobody left but us these days
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain’t a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, nothing lasts
There ain’t no time to waste
There ain’t nobody left to take the blame
There ain’t nobody left but us these days

Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine.
Here i wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Down a sun-baked crumpled stony road.
Dusty wheels leaning rusting in the sun;
Snuff brown walls where spanish lizards run.
Here i'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
Ringed by ants and musing over man.
I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down
Won't climb any high thing while the sun shine.
Formentera lady sing your song for me
Formentera lady sweet lover.
Lamplights glows on old guitars the travellers strum;
Insence children dance to an indian drum.
Here odysseus charmed for dark circe fell,
Still her perfume lingers still her spell.
Time's grey hand won't catch me while the sun shine down
Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine.
Formentera lady dance your dance for me
Formentera lady dark lover.

Εμείς κι οι Άλλοι
Το νου σας όσοι διαλέξατε δρόμο δικό σας,
εμείς μοιράσαμε ήδη το μερτικό σας
επικρατούσας τάξης η μεγάλη ιδέα
στεφανώθηκε το χάρο και τα αισθήματα αμοιβαία.
Τα μάτια δεκατέσσαρα, κρατάμε πισινή
όσοι τρυπώσαμε στη μάζα παρακατιανοί,
χέρια μεγάλα, μικρά μυαλά συνδεθήκαμε,
στα σύνορα της σκέψης αυτοαπαγορευτήκαμε,
αμπαρωθήκαμε κι αφήνουμε έξω τον καθένα
που δε φέρει κανένα απ' όλα τα καθιερωμένα,
τα κοινά τα χαρακτηριστικά, βιαστικά - βιαστικά
γίναμε ένα καταναγκαστικά.
Και βγάλαμε χρησμό από μαντείο αυθεντία
πως είναι η ράτσα η πρωταρχική αιτία.
Είδωλα χρυσά προσκυνήσαμε στα όπλα
και ξαναγράψαμε καθάρια τα πιο βρώμικα κόλπα.
Βουνά και κάστρα από βιβλία χρυσοντυμένα
κι άλλοι για μια τους λέξη μόνο φτύνουν αίμα.
Τελετές και προσκυνήματα εμείς κάτω από τ' άρματα
κι άλλοι κατάρες για ψωμί, νερό και φάρμακα.
Στα ράφια για μας το δίκιο με δόσεις
κι άλλοι δικάζονται σε ζωντανές μεταδόσεις.
Εμείς ξορκίζουμε τύψεις με παρακάλια
κι άλλοι φορτώνονται τα λάθη μας τσουβάλια.
Για όσους μιλάνε δυνατά για πράγματα που 'ναι καλύτερο ν' αλλάξουν,
φυλάμε κακό μπας και την ψάξουν
και βρουν την άκρη· αν δε τη βρουν, κάποιοι τρελοί θα τη φτιάξουν
ή θα το κόψουν το νήμα ή θα το σκάψουν
το κορμί τους για όσους θυμούνται τ' αλλότρια,
τα μακρινά και παράταιρα και γυμνώνουν τα εσώτερα.
Για όσους νοιώθουν πως έχουν έρθει από αλλού
πως ταξιδέψαν και κλέψαν τη μυρωδιά κάτι παλιού,
θαμένοι ξανά πριν από κάμποσα χρόνια
τους λέμε σκιές κι ας αλωνίζουμε στ'αλώνια
τα μαρμαρένια με πικροδάφνες και ζαχαρένια,
παραφουσκώνουμε κεφάλια αχυρένια.
Δε βαριέσαι, πάντα υπάρχει μια γωνιά δικαιολογίας
να στοιβαχτούν απωλεσθέντα ιστορίας.
Για να πατσίσουμε δυο αλήθειες σε βιβλίο σχολικό,
στον πάγο κρύβουμε καλά το γλυκό.
Στην ίδια μοίρα όσοι αφήνουν πίσω τους σημάδια,
γι' αυτούς τους άπιστους φροντίζουμε μ' αγκάθινα χάδια
για μια αφίσα, για μια χωρίς άστεγους πόλη
φτιάχνουμε πρόσωπα ίδια με πούδρα και βιτριόλι.
Για τους αμάχους που με θράσος δε μπαίνουν στον κύκλο,
θα βρούμε θέση μπροστινή σε κάποιο τσίρκο
παρακρατικό, με τέντα ανθρωπισμού ορθολογική,
τη πορφυρή μας τη χλαίνη απλά τη βάψαμε χακί.
Για όσους δειλούς έτσι τους λέμε αντιρρησίες
που σπείραν αμφιβολίες σε χωράφια αυθαιρεσίες,
βαριά είναι η ποινή για να μας βγάλει μαλάκες,
αφού πετάνε βλαστάρια ό,τι σκεπάζουν βλάκες.
Γι' αυτούς που τράβηξαν καινούριο, πρωτοδιάβατο δρόμο,
το καλοκαίρι θα περάσουμε το νόμο·
άλλοθι ξεδιάντροπο, μια νεογέννητη χίμαιρα
στις δημοσιές και τα καταμεσήμερα.

Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old,
And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me.
On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama, with a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth.
My buddy Gene was driving, he just barely turned sixteen.
And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry", but we lived to tell about it
And we lived to do a whole lot more crazy, stupid, shit.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
With 38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band.
One night when I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka, on an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house. And I backed my car between his parent's Cadillac's without a scratch.
Then crawled to the back door and slithered threw the key hole, and sneaked up the stares
And puked in the toilet.
I passed out and nearly drowned but his sister, DD, pulled me out.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Molly Hatchet
And the band that I was in played "The Boy's are Back in Town".
Skynyrd was set to play Huntsville, Alabama, in the spring of 77, I had a ticket but it got cancelled.
So, the show, it was rescheduled for the "Street Survivors Tour".
And the rest, as they say, is history.
So I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads in 82
Right before that plane crash.
And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd but I sure saw AC/DC
With Bon Scott singing, "Let There Be Rock Tour".
With Bon Scott singing, LET THERE BE ROCK!

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you cannot change.
Oh?Oh...Oh? Oh?
And this bird you cannot change.
And this bird you cannot change.
Lord Knows I Can?t Change.
Bye, bye, Baby its been a sweet love.
Yea, yea
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it so badly,
'Cause the Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
Oh?Oh...Oh? Oh?Oh?.
And this bird you cannot change.
And this bird you cannot change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.
Lord I Can't Change,
Won't You Fly High Free Bird Yea.

I'm gonna leave any minute
See the skyline disappear
Head out of the city
Burn my clothes bury my fears
Oh you will never know I was here
Tell me now is there difference
Between a shark and the ghost of a shark
'Cause all I have are secrets and memories of the dark
Oh rip away the skin burn my heart
I'm gonna leave any minute
Another skyline disappears
Sunlight in the mirror
Blinding me all these years
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave
Oh am I coming back
I'll never leave

Αφού με έσπειρε μια μοίρα αυτοκρατόρισσα
μήτρα με γέννησε αρχαία Mακεδόνισσα
Μ’ άδεια φαρέτρα πολεμάω τον χειμώνα
από το κάστρο στην καρδιά του Πλαταμώνα
Αφού με φέρνει μονοπάτι φαναριώτικο
Ένα σοκάκι με κρατάει σαλονικιώτικο
Έλα ένα βράδυ την υπόσχεση να πάρεις
πριν να την σβήσει με σφουγγάρι ο Bαρδάρης
Σ’ αναζητώ, σ’ αναζητώ στη Σαλονίκη ξημερώματα
Λείπει το βλέμμα σου απ’ της αυγής τα χρώματα
Σ’ αναζητώ, σ’ αναζητώ με ένα βιολί κι ένα φεγγάρι
Λείπει το όνειρο, εσύ και το δοξάρι
Αφού μεθάω με ένα κρασί αγιονορείτικο
και μ’ ένα ντέρτι σεκλετίζομαι πολίτικο
Βρες το μαχαίρι που στα δύο μάς χωρίζει
κι έλα δω στων στεναγμών το μετερίζι
Αφού στον Όλυμπο οι θεοί τ’ αποφασίσανε
δώσαν στο κρύο τα κλειδιά κι αυτοκτονήσανε
Μόνη ξυπνά, μόνη κοιμάται τώρα η μέρα
με μηχανάκι, με κομπιούτερ και φλογέρα.
