in MUSIC STCIGAR on with 7 Comments Share 4

Ένα τραγούδι του J.J. Cale από το άλμπουμ To Tulsa And back του 2004 – πρόταση του stcigar.
A J.J. Cale’s song from the album To Tulsa And Βack, released in 2004 – a proposition from stcigar.

Have you heard the news that’s going ’round here
The man in charge has got to go
‘Cause he dances ’round the problem, boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know
Now, the young knows what I’m talking ’bout
It’s a con in the old man’s game
The man in charge, he don’t know what he’s doing
He don’t know the world has changed
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain’t got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Born in a time that has gone by
The old tell the young what to do
Have you heard the news that’s going ’round here
The problem is the man in charge of you
The problem is the man in charge of you
Power seems to be so far up
The man on the street ain’t got a clue
The high top cats running your life
Think the problem is me and you
Have you heard the news that’s going ’round here
The man in charge has to go
The man in charge has got to go
The man in charge has to go

    More fitting today than in 2004.

    Ok, το ξέρω, κατάχρηση φιλοξενίας. Άμα σε παίρνει όμως, βάλε μου άλλο ένα κομματάκι:

    Παρεμπιπτόντως οι συγκεκριμένοι, αν και δεν τους φαίνεται, είναι κατά τη γνώμη μου από ελάχιστα γκρουπάκια που αξίζει να γνωρίσει κανείς από κοντά στη ζωντανή τους εκδοχή.

      Σιγά την κατάχρηση. Ο συγκεκριμένος [Henk] είχε παρακολουθήσει και συναυλία μας στο Mad της Συγγρού [κάποια στγμή που είχαν έρθει για δική τους, late ’80s] και είχε πει και την καλή κουβέντα του. Ως προς τη δική τους live παρουσία, συμφωνώ και επαυξάνω.

    Brilliant…. And I doubt it will be long before the Man in charge is gone.. And yes “The man on the street ain’t got a clue”… But more and more are putting the clues together 😉
    Great song and share Oannes.. Thank you
