Ulysses, de Mason Jennings

Deixa un comentari

Al final del programa de “Ciutat Maragda” de David Guzman a Catalunya Ràdio dedicat a Wakefield i Javier Marías, -al voltant d’un dels grans arguments literaris: esvair-se, desaparèixer i tornar molts anys més tard-, he conegut aquesta cançó, Ulysses, de Manson Jennings:

I went in to twelve bookstores looking for Ulysses
Motherwell led me to believe all my questions would be answered
Now i have it here sitting on the table
Another word for the universe
Loose green tea and a bonsai tree, an underground apartment
Check my e-mail and wash my clothes while my rice is cooking
Oh jesus christ, how i hate making phonecalls
So i lead a lonely life
A waterfall from a higher place told me all about you
The funeral of the man i was told me not to doubt you
Oh what we could do with your dress up round your shoulders
We could leave all our fear behind
I went in to the liquor store looking for a bottle
Of my favorite bombay gin, the answer to my problems
But to my delight the bottles were all taken
Ah yeah, another hero’s night

Quina relació creieu que té amb Ulisses?
