A Bright Cold Day In April - Sonic Boom Six

It was a bright cold day in April, the clocks
Were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox
She yawned and took her place
Numbered and indexed and neat in the database
Just looked the same as any old letter
In it drop, tear the top, a card inside
They say that I’ll make our lives better
Nothing to fear if you’ve got none to hide

You’ll be data protected
You’ll be part of the team
Now that you’re a number on the screen
All securely connected
To the central machine
Now that you’re a number on the screen

Outside, the sky was shiny and blue
The officer stopped her and scanned all her details through
She smiled because she knew
That he was from England cos he had a nice card too
The fingerprint it didn’t upset her
For these laws in the wars we fought and died
They say that’ll make our lives better
Nothing to fear if you’ve got none to hide

(Robin) Your attention! Our survey says our system has total public approval of the use of your data for preventioneering of illegals, full obliterati of dole scrounge tacticians and further elucidation of preventative counter measures on the continued war on terror.

So there is no reason for you to worry
there is no reason for you to worry
there is no reason for you to worry
And there is no reason for you to worry
Things are under control

It was a bright cold day in April, the clocks
Were striking on thirteen when she checked the mailbox
By then it was too late
to save civil liberties we don’t appreciate

Hey Big Brother - Rare Earth

Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?

Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
Are you watching me?
Are you watching us?
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
Don't let him get to you

Hey big brother

Nineteen Forty-Eightish - Jimmy Page & Roy Harper

The lemmings push their pens and rush
In hoards of crashing stupor
Towards the farms of Babylon
To scramble mother nature
Where unrelenting drudgery
Is all there is to nurture
And life and death are by consent
And love is for oppression
Welcome to my nightmare
It's the one in which I always press the button
...

Just as I light the loaded fire
A space invader lands
It's full of cops and bureaucrats
With bouquets of final demands
And I see my life flash before me again
Slipping through my hands
As the sound of harvest closes in
Swooping - reaping
Welcome to my nightmare
It's the one in which I walk when I'm not sleeping
...

And shadows fight with men of straw
In pockets of derision
While mother checks up on the stars
Denies her intuition
And sends young Julia to school
To learn an empty vision
That's full of paper tiger rats
To pass to her own children
Welcome to my nightmare
I'm the father, son and whole polluted system

In nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
The one we've all been longing for
Nineteen eighty-four

Testify - Rage Against The Machine

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify

Where Have All The Good Times Gone - The Kinks

Well, lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing
Wondering if I'd done wrong
Will this depression last for long?

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on my side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days

Ma and Pa look back at all the things they used to do
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
Daddy didn't have no toys
And mummy didn't need no boys

Well, yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
But let's face it things are so much easier today
Guess you need some bringing down
And get your feet back on the ground

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Mr. Churchill Says [Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire] - The Kinks

Well Mr. Churchill says, Mr. Churchill says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
Mr. Beaverbrook says we gotta save our tin
And all the garden gates
And empty cans are gonna make us win

We shall defend our island
On the land and on the sea
We shall fight them on the beaches
On the hills and in the fields
We shall fight them in the streets
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed to so few
'Cos they have made our British Empire
A better place for me and you
And this was their finest hour
Well Mr. Montgomery says
And Mr. Mountbatten says
We gotta fight the bloody battle to the very end
As Vera Lynn would say
We'll meet again someday
But all the sacrifices we must make before the end

Did you hear that plane flying overhead
There's a house on fire and there's someone lying dead
We gotta clean up the streets
And get me back on my feet
Because we wanna be free
Do your worst and we'll do our best
We're gonna win the way that Mr. Churchill says
Oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! Well Mr. Churchill says
We gotta hold up our chins
We gotta show some courage and some discipline
We gotta black up the windows and nail up the doors
And keep right on till the end of the war

Shangri-la [Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire]- The Kinks

Now that you've found your paradise
This is your Kingdom to command
You can go outside and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-la
Here is your reward for working so hard
Gone are the lavatories in the back yard
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your Shangri-la

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la

The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'Cos he's conditioned that way
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Got a TV set and a radio
For seven shillings a week
Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la

And all the houses in the street have got a name
'Cos all the houses in the street they look the same
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes
The neighbors call to tell you things that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go
They tell your business in another Shangri-la
The gas bills and the water rates, and payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are
Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-la
Shangri-la, Shangri-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your Shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la, Shangri-la

Hound Dog / Down Home Shakedown - Big Mama Thornton with Buddy Guy, Big Walter "Shakey" Horton, Dr. Ross & John Lee Hooker

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more

You told me you was high class
I could see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

And bow wow to you, too.

Στη βορειοανατολική Κρήτη, περίπου στα μισά της διαδρομής από τον Άγιο Νικόλαο προς τη Σητεία, υπάρχουν μερικά όμορφα, απείραχτα από τον διερχόμενο τουρισμό χωριά, σκαρφαλωμένα στις απόκρημνες πλαγιές με απεριόριστη θέα στον κόλπο του Μιραμπέλλου και το Κρητικό πέλαγο. Το 1992, σ' ένα από αυτά, τη Μυρσίνη, χωριό ζωντανό, μια παρέα νέων στην ψυχή σχημάτισε έναν άτυπο σύλλογο φίλων του Νίκου Παπάζογλου, με ανεπίσημο καταστατικό γραμμένο με στίχους από τα τραγούδια του.

Εκείνο το καλοκαίρι, Αύγουστο μήνα, με τη συμβολή πολλών χωριανών και φίλων από την περιοχή, στήθηκε μια αυτοσχέδια σκηνή ανάμεσα στο μπακάλικο και τη μουρνιά και ο Νίκος Παπάζογλου έδωσε την πρώτη του συναυλία στη Μυρσίνη. Μετά το τέλος της συναυλίας, οι θεατές - στριμωγμένοι σε κάθε γωνιά και κρεμασμένοι σαν τσαμπιά στις αυλές και τα παραθύρια - δεν άφηναν τους μουσικούς να φύγουν, κι εκείνοι, τραβάτε με κι ας κλαίω, κάθισαν στο γλέντι που στήθηκε εν ριπή οφθαλμού, και η ρακοποσία, η μεζεδοφαγία, τα τραγούδια, η ανάταση, η νύχτα η λαμπρή, κράτησαν μέχρι το ξημέρωμα. Από τότε, σχεδόν κάθε καλοκαίρι, ο Νικόλας κατέβαινε στη Μυρσίνη για μια συναυλία ή μια βόλτα σ' εκείνα τα λημέρια.

Την επόμενη χρονιά...

Την επόμενη χρονιά:

Επειδή, ευτυχώς, δεν είναι όλα μαύρα (ούτε αποκλειστικά μπλε, πράσινα, κόκκινα, κίτρινα ή όποιο άλλο χρώμα της αρεσκείας ή της απαρεσκείας σας), αλλά υπάρχουν ακόμα πολλά καθάρια, κρυστάλλινα και λαγαρά, που παίρνουν το χρώμα - ή καλύτερα τα χρώματα - που εμείς βλέπουμε μέσα τους. Κι αν στερέψουνε για λίγο, έρχεται καιρός που αναβλύζουνε ξανά, σαν τη βρύση της Μυρσίνης που, λίγο πριν το Πάσχα φέτος, αναστήθηκε πάλι.

Την επόμενη χρονιά:

Σα σήμερο σαλπάρισες
για το στερνό ταξίδι
με το φουλάρι γι' άλμπουρο
και τη ζωή ταξίμι
σε φχαριστώ που μου 'δειξες
στράτα να πορπατήσω
και τση ζωής μου τη χαρά
να πρωτοσυναντήσω
σαν τση ''Γιωργίτσας'' το σκοπό
π' αγάπας στη ζωή σου
ετσά 'ναι οι αθιβολές
πού 'χω κι εγώ μαζί σου

Μίλησε βρύση να μου πεις πού πήγε το νερό σου
κι έχω δυο χρόνους να το ιδώ να στραφταλίζει ομπρός σου

What About Me - Quicksilver Messenger Service

You poisoned my sweet water
You cut down my green trees
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease
My world is slowly fallin' down
And the air's not good to breathe
And those of us who care enough
We have to do something...

Say not in grief "He is no more"
but live in thankfulness that he was

A death is not the extinguishing of a light
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come

Freedom (2003 Worldwide Protest Against the Iraq War)

I'm not afraid to say it
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone...


I Can't Make It Any More

I get too low with no reason
You say it's the moon or maybe the season
but something's not the same
and I won't let my mind believe
Baby, something's wrong
or the feeling's gone
I can't make it anymore...

but

Here Comes the Sun
