11./ 'À NOS FANTÔMES' de Jean-Luc Galus et Christian-Edziré Déquesnes - Illustrations musicales : 'Dying on the vine' & 'Ar Lan Y Môr' par John Cale.

Christian-Edziré,

A nos fantômes !

Une des plus belles chansons de tous les temps !

Elle apparaît aussi comme un titre fantôme 3 mn après la fin officielle du cd Social Hide and Seek d'Olivier Red

Façon blues Mississippi.

Vlan !

Jean-Luc Galus.

Cher Jean-Luc,

Je n'ai jamais trouvé le disque que tu évoques.

Demain, à Ostende, j'ai comme un rendez vous avec l'un de nos fantômes...

...je vais marcher le long de la digue et j'aurai une pensée vers toi.

Je t'embrasse fraternellement

Christian-Edziré.

p.s : La seule chanson en gallois, une chanson du folklore du pays du Dragon Rouge, que je connaisse interprété par John Cale, notre gallois favori n'est sur auquel disque mais pourtant la voilà.

I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it

I wish someone would show me where to draw the line

I'd lay down my sword if you would take it

And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine

I was with you down in Acapulco

Trading clothing for some wine

Smelling like an old adobe woman

Or a William Burroughs playing for lost time

I was thinking about my mother

I was thinking about what's mine

I was living my life like a Hollywood

But I was dying on the vine

Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter

The troops, the celebrations in the sun

The authorities say my papers are all in order

And if I wasn't such a coward I would run

I'll see you me when all the shooting's over

Meet me on the other side of town

Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection

It's always nice to have them hanging around

I was thinking about my mother

I was thinking about what's mine

I was living my life like a Hollywood

But I was dying, dying on the vine

John Cale.
