Out of my control...

John Collier: Reclining Woman

The empty conversation
The coldness of your touch
The moments of frustration
That always hurt so much
The look in your eyes that seems to say
Nothing’s ever enough
Well it seems like I’ve tried every way
To give you all my love 

But it’s out of my control
It’s all up to you
Yes, it’s out of my control
What you gonna do
Everything I say, everything I do
Never seems to satisfy you
So I’ll say it again, I’m gonna let you go
It’s up to you
‘Cause it’s out of my control

I’ve felt this strange resistance
To the things I’ve said and done
And I’ve tried to keep my distance
I knew there was something wrong
But without communication
Without a message from your heart
There’s only empty expectation
And a love that’s torn apart

(Ken Hensley - Out of my control)

Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world



Jeanny, Jeanny...

[spoken] Newsflash, newsflash...

“Official government reports...” (all in English)

Jeanny, Jeanny...

Jeanny, come, come on
Stand up please
You're getting all wet
It's getting late, come
We must leave here
Out of the woods
Don't you understand?

Where is your shoe?
You lost it
When I had to show you the way
Which of us lost?
You, yourself?
I, myself?
Or... we ourselves?

Jeanny, quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Such a lonely little girl in a cold, cold world
There's someone who needs you
Jeanny quit livin' on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
You're lost in the night
Don't wanna struggle and fight
There's someone who needs you

It's cold
We must leave here
Come
Your lipstick is smeared
You bought it and
And I saw it
Too much red on your lips
And you said, “Leave me alone”
But I saw right through you
Eyes say more than words
You need me, don't you, hmmmh?
Everyone knows, that we're together
From today,
Now I can hear them, they are coming!

They're coming!
They are coming to get you.
They won't find you.
Nobody will find you!
You're with me.

Jeanny quit livin' on dreams...

[spoken] Newsflash:
In the last months the number of missing persons has dramatically increased. The latest account from the local police reports another tragic case. It is a matter of a nineteen year old girl who was last seen two weeks ago. The police have not excluded the possiblity that a crime has been committed.

Jeanny...

Ήτανε μια φορά.... ο Διγενής

(Byzantine Knight)

Κωστής Παλαμάς - Ο Διγενής κι ο Χάροντας

Καβάλα πάει ο Χάροντας τον Διγενή στον Άδη,
κι άλλους μαζί... Κλαίει δέρνεται τ' ανθρώπινο κοπάδι.
Και τους κρατεί στου αλόγου του δεμένους τα καπούλια,
της λεβεντιάς τον άνεμο, της ομορφιάς την πούλια.

Και σα να μη τον πάτησε του Χάρου το ποδάρι,
ο Ακρίτας μόνο ατάραχα κοιτάει τον καβαλάρη,
«Ο Ακρίτας είμαι, Χάροντα δεν περνώ με τα χρόνια.
Μ' άγγιξες και δε μ' ένοιωσες στα μαρμαρένια αλώνια;

Εγώ είμαι η ακατάλυτη ψυχή των Σαλαμίνων,
στην Εφτάλοφην έφερα το σπαθί των Ελλήνων.
Δε χάνομαι στα Τάρταρα, μονάχα ξαποσταίνω,
στη ζωή ξαναφαίνομαι και λαούς ανασταίνω!».

I don't wanna wait



I dont wanna wait until tomorrow
I don't wanna wait another day
I don't wanna live with all this sorrow
I'll just have to find another way

Seeing as how you've kept me
Hanging around for all this time
Playing with my mind and leaving
All our love behind
But it's time for a decision
Should I stay or should I go
I need our love to grow
But there's so much I wanna know

'Cause in my heart and in my head
Are thoughts of how it just to be
But a world of memories
Is only emptiness to me

And it's not a false illusion
I can see what's going on
If the magic's really gone
Then this is not where I belong
And I ask myself the questions
That confusion seems to bring
While the answers stay so thin
Upon the ground where I begin


Wheels of fire










P.S. I had to add the girls, to complete the archetypal wheels picture...
