Dagens blå sang: Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street
2. januar 2008
Selv om statsministeren vil have os til at tro, at det går så godt, så godt i lille Dannevang, så er det et andet indtryk blogland efterlader. Mange bloggeres nytårsposter klinger af melankoli, tristesse og modløshed. Og i den verden, hvor jeg færdes, er det også svært at overse en vis forstemthed, mistro og resignation. Til alle jer, mismodige, her er en sang, der er både blå i tonen og opløftende. Don’t give up!
Windin’ your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You’ll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It’s got so many people but it’s got no soul
And it’s taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everythingYou used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you’re tryin’
You’re tryin’ now
Another year and then you’ll be happy
Just one more year and then you’ll be happy
But you’re cryin’
You’re cryin’ nowWay down the street there’s a lad in his place
He opens the door he’s got that look on his face
And he asks you where you’ve been
You tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk about anythingHe’s got this dream about buyin’ some land
He’s gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he’ll settle down there’s a quiet little town
And forget about everythingBut you know he’ll always keep movin’
You know he’s never gonna stop movin
Cus he’s rollin’
He’s the rollin’ stoneAnd when you wake up it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’ it’s a new morning
You’re goin’
You’re goin’ home.
