1a canzone al giorno

Terzo singolo estratto da Bob Dylan dall'album "Rough And Rowdy Ways" di prossima uscita. Il secondo ve l'ho risparmiato, per ora, visto che il primo durava più di 16 minuti.... Stavolta la durata è più... umana... e anche la canzone, così ad un primo ascolto... Si intitola "False prophet" ed è la nostra canzone del giorno. Buon ascolto e a domani!

False prophet (Bob Dylan)

[Verse 1] 
Another day that don't end 
Another ship goin' out 
Another day of anger, bitterness, and doubt 
I know how it happened 
I saw it begin 
I opened my heart to the world and the world came in

[Verse 2] 
Hello Mary Lou 
Hello Miss Pearl 
My fleet-footed guides from the underworld 
No stars in the sky shine brighter than you 
You girls mean business and I do too

[Verse 3] 
Well I'm the enemy of treason 
Enemy of strife 
Enemy of the unlived meaningless life 
I ain't no false prophet 
I just know what i know 
I go where only the lonely can go

[Verse 4] 
I'm first among equals 
Second to none 
Last of the best 
You can bury the rest 
Bury 'em naked with their silver and gold 
Put them six feet under and pray for their souls

[Verse 5] 
What are you lookin' at 
There's nothing to see 
Just a cool breeze that's encircling me 
Let's go for a walk in the garden 
So far and so wide 
We can sit in the shade by the fountain-side

[Verse 6] 
I search the world over 
For the Holy Grail 
I sing songs of love 
I sing songs of betrayal 
Don't care what I drink 
Don't care what i eat 
I climbed the mountains of swords on my bare feet

[Verse 7] 
You don't know me darlin' 
You never would guess 
I'm nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest 
I ain't no false prophet 
I just said what I said 
I'm just here to bring vengeance on somebody's head

[Verse 8] 
Put out your hand 
There's nothing to hold 
Open your mouth 
I'll stuff it with gold 
Oh you poor devil look up if you will 
The city of God is there on the hill

[Verse 9] 
Hello stranger 
A long goodbye 
You ruled the land 
But so do I 
You lost your mule 
You got a poison brain 
I'll marry you to a ball and chain

[Verse 10] 
You know darlin' 
The kind of life that I live 
When your smile meets my smile something's got to give 
I ain't no false prophet 
No I'm nobody's bride 
Can't remember when I was born 
And I forgot when I died
