Только ангина помогла мне по-настоящему оценить электронную сигарету. Теперь хочу настоящую, а не одноразовую на 600 затяжек которых мне хватает на два дня. И чтоб вишней пахла, вот.
Хотя больше хочу вернуть свою трубку, соскучилась по запаху настоящего табака.

А чего хочу больше всего, я вам не скажу, потому что вы смеяться будете.
Впрочем... don't be arfaid to seem ridiculous ))

Мне было лет 9, я только что посмотрела Yellow submarine и влюбилась в Битлов. То есть я и до этого их слушала, мне нравилось, но - не так. Кстати, у меня совсем другие любимые песни, не те, что у родителей.

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been, lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear, no one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there's nobody there, what does he care?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried
Along with her name, nobody came.
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved.

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon.
And one day his woman ran off with another guy,
Hit young Rocky in the eye, Rocky didnt like that.
He said Im gonna get that boy.

So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find gideons bible.
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival.

His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down.

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin.
He said Danny boy this is a showdown.
But Daniel was hot - he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table.
He said: "Rocky, you met your match."
And Rocky said: "Doc, its only a scratch,
And Ill be better, Ill be better, do,c as soon as I am able."

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room
Only to find gideons bible.
Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival.



Естественно, текстов я тогда не понимала. Вообще Битлы в плане лирики - это местами даже смешно в сравнении с их гениальной музыкой, но именно эти три песни - как так вышло, что я сразу полюбила именно их? Не знаю. Наверное, их содержание, атмосфера, настроение - всё это есть и в музыке, так что я просто почувствовала. Папа кое-что подсказывал, например, рассказал, что Penny Lane - это не девушка, а улица такая в Ливерпуле)) И я всё пыталась представить себе эту улицу, стены домов, мостовую, живые изгороди.

Так вот. Хочу на улицу Penny Lane. Чтобы кто-то взял меня за рук и отвел, наконец, туда. На улицу из моего детства.


Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
