αδικημένο

αυτό το τραγούδι είναι από την ταινία wonder boys του 1999 και είναι ένα από τα πιο αδικημένα του Ντύλαν κατά την γνώμη μου. ναι μεν κέρδισε ένα όσκαρ αν θυμάμαι καλά, αλλά σε κάθε περίπτωση δεν είχε την υποδοχή που είχε το modern times πέρσι. το ποστάρω (κι ας ξέρω ότι του oksikemia του σπάω τα νεύρα!) γιατί δείχνει ξεκάθαρα ότι κάτι κάτι γκρουπάκια τύπου killers, artic monkeys, kasabian, razorlight κτλ. κτλ. κτλ... πρέπει να ιδρώσουν πολύ την φανέλα για να γράψουν έστω και ένα δίστιχο από τα παρακάτω (θα μου πείτε πως ίσως να μην το θέλουν ή να μην είναι αυτό το ζητούμενο, αλλά κάπως έτσι φτάσαμε να θεωρούμε τον Mika... φαινόμενο. Μπρρρ!).

A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
