wat zeg je nou? van mij mogen al deze lijnen opgeheven worden, het is toch niet meer van deze tijd! men is niet zijn nationaliteit! we moeten eens goed door krijgen dat we een planeet delen, en dat we het overal goed kunnen hebben, dat nou heel africa leeg loopt, tja, todat we onze zooi wat eerlijker gaan verdelen zeg ik kom maar! ook al kan het niet, kom maar!
Van mij mogen ze ook wel opgeheven worden, daar ging het niet over. Ik zei dat doordat er een landsgrens tussen zit het al een stuk logischer is dat er taalverschilen zijn.
We must always bear in mind that we are not going to be free, but are free already. Every idea that we are bound is a delusion. Every idea that we are happy or unhappy is a tremendous delusion; and another delusion will come — that we have got to work and worship and struggle to be free — and this will chase out the first delusion, and then both will stop. Volgens mij komt het uit de Indische Vedanta-filosofie, maar ik kwam het tegen in het werk van swami Vivekananda. Die heeft hier en daar wel interessante dingen te melden
beter laat dan nooit! ferm nummer van tim buckleynce i was a soldier and i fought on foreign sands for you,once i was a hunter and i brought home fresh meat for you,once i was a lover and i searched behind your eyes for you and soon there i'll be another to tell you i was just a lie.(chorus:and sometimes i wonder just for awhile will you ever remember me).and though you have forgotten all of our rubbish dreams,i find myself searching trough the ashes of our ruins,for the day's when we smiled and the hours that ran wild,with the magic of our eyes and the silence of our words.(chorus)
I've seen it all, I have seen the trees, I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze I've seen a man killed by his best friend, And lives that were over before they were spent. I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be I've seen it all - there is no more to see! You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru! I'm happy to say I had better to do What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall? All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall! I've seen it all, I've seen the dark I've seen the brightness in one little spark. I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need, And that is enough, to want more would be greed. I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be I've seen it all - there is no more to see! Geweldige tekst en ook geweldig liedje. Jammer dat ik de film nog niet heb gezien, maar misschien verpest dat juist het idee dat ik erbij heb. Je kan het ook op zoveel manieren opvatten
De kudde loopt te grazen Geen vuiltje aan de lucht Ze vullen traag hun magen Tot het daglicht vlucht De herder is verdwenen Voor even of voorgoed Er is niemand die de weg wijst Er is niemand die ze hoedt Arme schapen Hoor ze blaten Zo verschrikkelijk alleen Arme schapen Alleen gelaten Arme schapen Hoor ze blaten Met z'n allen zo alleen Arme schapen Je hoort ze vragen Voor wie, voor wat, waarom, waardoor, waarvoor, waarheen Ze kijken naar de hemel Genageld aan de grond Ze wachten op een wonder Dat niet komt Geen herder te bekennen Opgegaan in rook Alleen het bange voorgevoel Gaat met ze op de loop Ze horen in gedachten De wolven in het bos Al is het een illusie Het laat ze niet meer los Niemand in de kudde Die de ander nog vertrouwt Kijk, ze verstoten Wat vreemd is en oud Het zijn arme schapen Hoor ze blaten Zo verschrikkelijk alleen Arme schapen Alleen gelaten Arme schapen Hoor ze blaten Met z'n allen zo alleen Arme schapen Je hoort ze vragen Voor wie, voor wat, waarom, waardoor, waarvoor, waarheen Waar gaat de kudde heen?

Ballad of accounting - Ewan MacColl In the morning we built the city In the afternoon walked through its streets Evening saw us leaving We wandered through our days as if they would never end All of us imagined we had endless time to spend We hardly saw the crossroads and small attention gave To landmarks on the journey from the cradle to the grave, cradle to the grave, cradle to the grave Did you learn to dream in the morning? Abandon dreams in the afternoon? Wait without hope in the evening? Did you stand there in the traces and let 'em feed you lies? Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes? Did you kiss the foot that kicked you, did you thank them for their scorn? Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born, act of being born, act of being born? Did you alter the face of the city? Make any change in the world you found? Or did you observe all the warnings? Did you read the trespass notices, did you keep off the grass? Did you shuffle off the pavements just to let your betters pass? Did you learn to keep your mouth shut, were you seen but never heard? Did you learn to be obedient and jump to at a word, jump to at a word, jump to at a word? Did you demand any answers? The who and the what and the reason why? Did you ever question the setup? Did you stand aside and let 'em choose while you took second best? Did you let 'em skim the cream off and then give to you the rest? Did you settle for the shoddy and did you think it right To let 'em rob you right and left and never make a fight, never make a fight, never make a fight? What did you learn in the morning? How much did you know in the afternoon? Were you content in the evening? Did they teach you how to question when you were at the school? Did the factory help you grow, were you the maker or the tool? Did the place where you were living enrich your life and then Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow men, all your fellow men, all your fellow men?
