Well, never mind, we are ugly, but we have the music

About Me

"Some people feel the rain.Others just get wet." Bob Dylan..
"And if my thought-dreams could be seen They'd probably put my head in a guillotine But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only." BOb dylan"...While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain." Bob Dylan.
nUCLEArcENTURy.COM"My love ,she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence. She doesn't have to say she's faithful, yet she's true like ice, like fire" BD"The good Samaritan, he's getting dressed, he's getting ready for the show. He's going to the carnival tonight on Desolation Row.""You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you." BD"Mama, put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is coming down." BD"I see my light come shining from the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.""Strap yourself to a tree with roots..oou wee" BD

My Interests

"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" BD"C'est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière, Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons D'argent; où le soleil, de la montagne fière, Luit: c'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons.Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue, Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu, Dort; il est étendu dans l'herbe, sous la nue, Pâle dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut.Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort.Souriant comme sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme: Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid.Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine; Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine, Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit." Arthur rimbaud"Heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listening. Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing. Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter." BD"The radio makes hideous sounds." BDWell Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?" God says, "Out on Highway 61."BD"I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings. And I've never been too impressed." BD"I think a poet is anybody who wouldn't call himself a poet."BD"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours." BD"In the dime stores and bus stations, people talk of situations, read books, repeat quotations, draw conclusions on the wall.""Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything." BD"Money doesn't talk, it swears.""Mais parmi les chacals, les panthères, les lyces, Les singes, les scorpions, les vautours, les serpents, Les monstres glapissants, hurlants, grognants, rampants, Dans la ménagerie infâme de nos vices, Il en est un plus laid, plus méchant, plus immonde. Quoiqu'il ne fasse ni grands gestes ni grands cris, Il ferait volontiers de la terre un débris Et dans un bâillement avalerait le monde; C'est l'ennui ! - l' oeil chargé d'un pleur involontaire, Il rêve d'échafauds en fumant son houka. Tu le connais, lecteur, ce monstre délicat, Hypocrite lecteur, - mon semblable, - mon frère ! " Charles Baudelaire- au lecteur"To live outside the law, you must be honest. ""You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows. Don't follow leaders watch the parkin' meters." BD"You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changing." BD"Let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late." BD"You've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a friend, when I was down you stood there grinning." BD"I ain't saying you treated me unkind you could've done better, but I don't mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time. But don't think twice, it's alright.""Well I stepped into an avalanche, it covered up my soul; when I am not this hunchback that you see, I sleep beneath the golden hill. You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn, learn to serve me well. You strike my side by accident as you go down for your gold. The cripple here that you clothe and feed is neither starved nor cold; he does not ask for your company, not at the centre, the centre of the world. When I am on a pedestal, you did not raise me there. Your laws do not compel me to kneel grotesque and bare. I myself am the pedestal for this ugly hump at which you stare. You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes me kind; the crumbs of love that you offer me, they're the crumbs I've left behind. Your pain is no credential here, it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.I have begun to long for you, I who have no greed; I have begun to ask for you, I who have no need. You say you've gone away from me, but I can feel you when you breathe. Do not dress in those rags for me, I know you are not poor; you don't love me quite so fiercely now when you know that you are not sure, it is your turn, beloved, it is your flesh that I wear." Leonard Cohen"I wish for just one time you could stand inside my shoes, then you'd know what a drag it is to see you." BDShakespeare, he's in the alley with his pointed shoes and his bells, speaking to some French girl who says she knows me well." BD "

I'd like to meet:

guilty sighin' undertakers,lonesome organ grinders,silver saxophones, cracked bells, drunken politicians,weeping mothers,fast asleep saviors,gone down fathers,the queen of spades, my chambermaid, your dancing child and youDans son regard absent Et son iris absinthe Tandis que Marilou s'amuse à faire des vol Utes de sèches au menthol Entre deux bulles de comic-strip Tout en jouant avec le zip De ses Levi's Je lis le vice Et je pense à Caroll Lewis.Dans son regard absent Et son iris absinthe Tandis que Marilou s'évertue à faire des vol Utes de sèches au menthol Entre deux bulles de comic-strip Tout en jouant avec son zip A entrebailler ses Levi's Dans son regard absent et son iris Absinthe dis-je je lis le vice De baby doll Et je pense à Lewis Caroll. Dans son regard absent Et son iris absinthe Quand crachent les enceintes De la sono lançant Accord de quartes et de quintes Tandis que Marilou s'esquinte La santé s'éreinte A s'envoyer en l'air...Lorsqu'en un songe absurde Marilou se résorbe Que son coma l'absorbe En pratiques obscures Sa pupille est absente Mais son iris absinthe Sous ses gestes se teinte D'extases sous-jacentes A son regard le vice Donne un côté salace Un peu du bleu lavasse De sa paire de Levi's Et tandis qu'elle exhale Un soupir au menthol Ma débile mentale Perdue en son exil Physique et cérébral Joue avec le métal De son zip et l'atoll De corail apparaît Elle s'y coca-colle Un doigt qui en arrêt Au bord de la corolle Est pris près du calice Du vertige d'Alice De Lewis Caroll. Lorsqu'en songes obscurs Marilou se résorbe Que son coma l'absorbe En des rêves absurdes Sa pupille s'absente Et son iris absinthe Subrepticement se teinte De plaisirs en attente Perdue dans son exil Physique et cérébral Un à un elle exhale Des soupirs fébriles Parfumés au menthol Ma débile mentale Fais tinter le métal De son zip et Narcisse Elle pousse le vice Dans la nuit bleue lavasse De sa paire de Levi's Arrivée au pubis De son sexe corail Ecartant la corolle Prise au bord du calice De vertigo Alice S'enfonce jusqu'à l'os Au pays des malices De Lewis Caroll.Pupille absente iris Absinthe baby doll Ecoute ses idoles Jimi Hendrix Elvis Presley T-Rex Alice Cooper Lou Reed les Roll Ing Stones elle en est folle Là-dessus cette Narcisse Se plonge avec délice Dans la nuit bleu pétrole De sa paire de Levi's Elle arrive au pubis Et très cool au menthol Elle se self contrôle Son petit orifice Enfin poussant le vice Jusqu'au bord du calice D'un doigt sex-symbole S'écartant la corolle Sur fond de rock-and-roll S'égare mon Alice Au pays des malices De Lewis Caroll. Serge Gainsbourg
