Bob Dylan - The Hurricane

Text:

Pistols shots ring out in the barroom night

Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall

She sees the bartender in a pool of blood

Cries out "My God they killed them all"

Here comes the story of the Hurricane

The man the authorities came to blame

For something that he never done

Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world.

Three bodies lying there does Patty see

And another man named Bello moving around mysteriously

"I didn't do it" he says and he throws up his hands

"I was only robbing the register I hope you understand

I saw them leaving" he says and he stops

"One of us had better call up the cops"

And so Patty calls the cops

And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashing

In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile far away in another part of town

Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are driving around

Number one contender for the middleweight crown

Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down

When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road

Just like the time before and the time before that

In Patterson that's just the way things go

If you're black you might as well not shown up on the street

'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the corps

Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowling around

He said "I saw two men running out they looked like middleweights

They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates"

And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head

Cop said "Wait a minute boys this one's not dead"

So they took him to the infirmary

And though this man could hardly see

They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the morning and they haul Rubin in

Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs

The wounded man looks up through his one dying eye

Says "Wha'd you bring him in here for ? He ain't the guy !"

Yes here comes the story of the Hurricane

The man the authorities came to blame

For something that he never done

Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world.

Four months later the ghettos are in flame

Rubin's in South America fighting for his name

While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game

And the cops are putting the screws to him looking for somebody to blame

"Remember that murder that happened in a bar ?"

"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"

"You think you'd like to play ball with the law ?"

"Think it might-a been that fighter you saw running that night ?"

"Don't forget that you are white".

Arthur Dexter Bradley said "I'm really not sure"

Cops said "A boy like you could use a break

We got you for the motel job and we're talking to your friend Bello

Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail be a nice fellow

You'll be doing society a favor

That sonofabitch is brave and getting braver

We want to put his ass in stir

We want to pin this triple murder on him

He ain't no Gentleman Jim".

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch

But he never did like to talk about it all that much

It's my work he'd say and I do it for pay

And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way

Up to some paradise

Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice

And ride a horse along a trail

But then they took him to the jailhouse

Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance

The trial was a pig-circus he never had a chance

The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums

To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum

And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger

No one doubted that he pulled the trigger

And though they could not produce the gun

The DA said he was the one who did the deed

And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried

The crime was murder 'one' guess who testified

Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied

And the newspapers they all went along for the ride

How can the life of such a man

Be in the palm of some fool's hand ?

To see him obviously framed

Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land

Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties

Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell

An innocent man in a living hell

That's the story of the Hurricane

But it won't be over till they clear his name

And give him back the time he's done

Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been

The champion of the world

Låt: Heavy Rains

Artist: Looptroop

Album: Fort Europa

Genre: Hiphop

Har möjligtvis tipsat om den innan, men den är ju så jävla bra!

Let me connect the dots in your record shops

life's here on minute - in the next it's not

so, if ya low and you movin' slow

just yell yallo man I'm lettin' you know

everything in this world is connected one way or another

although well hid undercover

by who? We don't know? And why? We're not sure

but we feel like our feelings are real

and we really wanna trust our emotions

they're all that we have

we just got promoted we ought to be glad

but we're not cus it's something that gnaws in the back

of our mind that could cause a collapse of our spine

and when we block it out it dubles the pain

so we duble the dosage again and again

pretty soon we off track like a runaway train

trying' to run from the fact we all one and the same

and the pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

and it's strange and we're lost to the laws of the game

- called cause and effect, who the boss, who the slave?

who to pay, who to hate? who to fear, who's to blame?

Chorus:

They tell me that Europe is flooded by heavy rains

but we won't stop to think or stop our cars

they tell me that Europe is flooded by immigrants

but we won't stop the trade or stop the war

they tell me that Europe is dying overweight

but we won't change our diet or change our lives

and I tell you the children are crying over it

but to them nor us we won't stop lying

Shit, I don't really know where to begin

it's not like I'm on the outside looking in

I'm right here in it – right between get it?

I'm too close to even see to deep in it

I gotta take a step back to get the whole picture

Why we use and abuse but wonder why we're addicted

You think you're free cause of the land you own

but no man is an island and stands alone

the very moment you think you're independent

your evil acts is coming back with a vengeance

cus your wealth is based upon the next man

who probably can't even pay his own rent and

have to work for a couple of dimes

in your factory so he can build up your empire

and everything goes around 360

if you can't see come out here with me

the pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

and it's strange and we're lost to the laws of the game

called cause and effect who's the boss who's the slave

who to pray? in which god? who's the plague?

who's to blame?

Chorus

My boy drink cus he alone, but he alone cus he's drinking

when someone come alone cupid miss cus he's limping

away from the obvious, outsider see

but in a way we all followers, choose not to heed

the warming sings blinking, all the time thinking

I've seen the big picture, I know the big trick to

skip the pitfall, slip through the net

I'm sick of it all, but I bet I'll regret

not pushing my way through, fighting and trying

I'll step on some toes, trying to live like I'm dying

but some say that karma come back

so we facing a stab in the back

cus we so quick replacing friends with our frenemies

who's left defending me?

when tables turn and I'm stuck in a dead end street?

no one I know, and I know that for sure

but now it's so late and there's nowhere to go

the pain that we cause is the cause of our pain

it's strange and we lost to the laws of the game

called cause and effect

who to force? Who to play? who's the force?

who's afraid? who's the prey? who's to blame?

Chorus

Eagles - Hotel California.

Soft som fan, skön att somna till.

Du och virre cool är riktigt goa i hövve. Mer sådant.

Förresten...

Artist: Bob Dylan

Låt: Like A Rolling Stone

Album: "Greatest Hits"-tjafs...

Kommentar: "Världens bästa låt" enligt Rolling Stone Magazine, [nej, det finns inget samband mellan låten och tidningen :rolleyes: ] och en väldigt djup och fin sång. Lyssna, biatch.

Text:

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"

You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin' out

Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be without a home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street

And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it

You said you'd never compromise

With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns

When they all come down and did tricks for you

You never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Ain't it hard when you discover that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people

They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made

Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things

But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe

You used to be so amused

At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used

Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse

When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose

You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel

How does it feel

To be on your own

With no direction home

Like a complete unknown

Like a rolling stone?

'Ey! Jag har en till!

Artist: Johnny Cash

Låt: When The Man Comes Around

Album: Vet inte... finns på Dawn Of The Dead-soundtracket i alla fall.

Kommentar: Varje man ska avguda Cashs skrovliga röst eller avlida. Smärtsamt.

Text:

[Opening Introduction (Spoken part)]

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder

One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw

And behold a white horse

[song]

There's a man going around taking names and he decides

Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated

Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down

When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each

Sip and each sup will you partake of that last offered cup

Or disappear into the potter's ground

When the man comes around

[CHOURS]

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing

Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum

Voices calling and voices crying

Some are born and some are dying

Its alpha and omegas kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees

The virgins are all trimming their wicks

The whirlwind is in the thorn trees

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home

The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet

They will cast the golden crowns

When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still

Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still

Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still

Listen to the words long written down

When the man comes around

[CHOURS]

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing

Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum

Voices calling and voices crying

Some are born and some are dying

Its alpha and omegas kingdom come

And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees

The virgins are all trimming their wicks

The whirlwind is in the thorn trees

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

In measured hundred weight and penny pound

When the man comes around

[Close (Spoken part)]

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts

And I looked and behold, a pale horse

And it's name it said on him was Death

And Hell followed with him.

Orka Johnny Cash. Hur många skivor har han släppt? 1000?

Like A Rolling Stone är förjälva skön också. Den går i huset rätt ofta eftersom det är farsans favvolåt.
