this is a tired old world i want
|
news from elsewhere
|
good news
|
bad news
|
on picture-postcards
|
this is a blind spot
|
this is an empty lot
|
i need a radio
|
i need a hilltop
|
i want my news from elsewhere
|
|
it is a mighty long way from
|
here to elsewhere
|
uphill
|
downhill
|
wish i had a
|
fourwheel-drive
|
wish i was a contender
|
but you are never standing
|
by the roadside
|
you are never waving at me
|
i would be rather happy here
|
if i could tell you where i will be
|
passing by
|
with a smile
|
|
t` is a funny idea that i should
|
be from somewhere
|
isn`t it obvious
|
that i have never
|
never ever been there
|
i`m on the look-out
|
i don`t belong here
|
it would be wonderfull
|
if i was wrong
|
i would be rather happy here
|
if i could tell you where i will be
|
passing by
|
with a smile
|

In the wooden shed he found a piece of cardboard on which the previous
|
occupant had written: “how can i please myself when i have no self to
|
please?? “sorry, young man?-thought Burroughs- “i think you are
|
kidding yourself. as long as you talk to yourself, you have a self. the
|
self is a pimping, blackmailing chauffeur who gets you from here to
|
there on word lines.?BR>
|
i would be rather happy here
|
if i could tell you where i will be
|
passing by
|
with a smile
|
with a smile
|
