Tilnefning nr. 57 - Hörður

Marquee Moon - Television[1977]

Television var stofnuð í New York árið 1973. Væntanlega getum við skilgreint tónlist þeirra bæði sem Pönk og rokk. Spurning hvað Sáki segir um það en enginn gítargrip hér. Fyrsta plata Television var "Marquee moon" en titillagið sem hér er tilnefnt var innan við 10 mínútur þegar það kom út á vínyl smáskífu. Þegar lagið kom út á CD var það hins vegar um 11 mínútur.

I remember
how the darkness doubled
I recall
lightning struck itself.
I was listening
listening to the rain
I was hearing
hearing something else.
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
the kiss of death, the embrace of life.
There I stand neath the Marquee Moon Just waiting,
Hesitating...
I ain't waiting
I spoke to a man
down at the tracks.
I asked him
how he don't go mad.
He said 'Look here junior, don't you be so happy.
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad.'
Well a Cadillac
it pulled out of the graveyard.
Pulled up to me
all they said get in.
Then the Cadillac
it puttered back into the graveyard.
And me,
I got out again.
