[Rieslingrübe]

......danach nochmal den gleichnamigen Folk-Song vom ehemaligen Five Hand Reel -Gitarristen, schon allein wegen der bemerkenswerten Lyrics...



Dick Gaughan: ´Revolution


" (.....)

And you all you sanctfied moneybags
Bandits ajointed and crowned
Your counterfeid towers of justice
And ethics will crash to the ground
I'll send my old sword through your hearts
That have drained the world's blood in their lust
And smash all your crowns and your sceptres
And trample them into the dust

I'll rip off your rich purple garments
And tear them to rags and to shreads
And never again will their glitter
Be able to turn people's heads
At last your cold world will be robbed off
This proud hypocritical glow
For we shall dissolve it as surely
As sunlight dissolves the deep snow

I'll break down your cobweb morality
Shatter the old chain of lies
And catch all your blackhooded preachers
And choke them as though they were flies
I'll put a quick end to your heavens
Your gods that are deaf to all prayers
I'll scatter your futile old spirits
And clean up the earh and the air

And though you may choke me and shoot me
And hang me your toil is in vain
No dungeon no gallows can scare me
Nor will I be frightened by pain
Each time I'll arise from the earth
And break through all your weapons of doom
Until you are finished forever
Until you are dust in the tomb "



(Words by Joseph Bovshover, 1870)
