Gracias a la vida
que me ha dado tanto.
Me dio dos luceros
que, cuando los abro,
perfecto distingo
lo negro del blanco,
y en el alto cielo
su fondo estrellado
y en las multitudes
el mujer que yo amo.

Mercedes Sosa

Everybody is looking for something,
Some of them wants to use you, (let's negotiate, only intelligent people can make intelligent offers)
Some of them wants to be used by you, (you are welcome, I only nique those who wanted to nique me)
Some of them wants to abuse you (woe and veba)

Turkish...Descending from Cretan Turks. Mother's side American, straightforward Vermonters, with Dutch-German ascendancy on one side (1666 generation), Scottish-English on the other, according to fairly reliable research done by a family member. Not a U.S. citizen though, applied for it when 18, but since I did not have a criminal record from Cuba, it didn't get through. But I am also Belgian, if that won't create further puzzlement. Live in İzmir, a city marked by another fire. And it has been proven times and times again that İzmir fires better. I believe that personal agendas are good for you. I have one with a specific place at this moment, but...but...but...What was as good as Breakfast in America?.

THE DAYS OF PEARLY SPENCER (David McWilliams - 1967, Marc Almond - 1992)

A tenement, a dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
Inside it's long and so complete
Watched by a shivering sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks and leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shuns
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
But withering they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
Pearly where's your milk white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rot gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost run
The race is almost run
A tenement, a dirty street
Remember worn and shoeless feet
Remember how you stood to beat
The way your life had gone
So Pearly don't you shed more tears
For those best forgotten years
Those tenements are memories
Of where you've risen from
The days of Pearly Spencer
The race is almost won

NORWEGIAN WOOD (Owen - October 1965; Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr)

I once had a girl, or should I say, "She once had me"?
She showed me her room. Isn't it good Norwegian wood!
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere.
So, I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on her rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two, and then she said "It's time for bed."
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone: This bird had flown.
So, I lit a fire. Isn't it good Norwegian wood!
