mighty wah - the story of the blues (part 1) lyrics
mighty wah
miscellaneous
story of the blues
from: [email protected] (rami)
below are the words of the speech made by pete wylie at the end of the
12″ version of the mighty wah`s undeservedly forgetable
“the story of the blues”, which i transcripted by listening to a
home-tape recording of the song – the result of which is a few
question-marks and maybe a few mistakes, anyone who wishes to make
a comment is welcome (address above).
“our hearts are breaking, one more song to go” (faded flowers – shriekback)
“…well that`s my story and i`ll stick into that, let`s have another
drink and let`s talk about the blues, blues is about dignity, it`s about
self-respect, and no matter what they take away from you – that`s yours
for keeps, i remember how it was, how every medium – t.v. and papers and
radio and all those people were saying:’you`re on the scr-p-heep, you`re
useless’, i remember how easy it was to start believe in that, i remember
how you`d hear people take it for granted that it was true – just `cause
someone with an ‘outer power’ said so.
and that`s a problem now, too many out-b-lls(?), too many pocketbook
psychologists and would-be philosophers with an axe to grind,
but there`s a solution, it`s not easy, but it`s a matter of commitment(?)
in your heart, the situation you`re in, a matter of choosing how things go
for you and not having things forced upon you, there are plenty of forces
against you, forcing you against your will, your ideals – you`ve got to hope
for the best, and that`s the best you can hope for – you`ve got to hope
against hope…
i remember something sal paradise said, he said:’the city intellectuals of
the world are divided from the folk body blood-of-the-land and are just
ruthless(?) fools’
so listen, when the smile, the condescending pat-on-the-back comes and says:
‘we`re sorry, but you`re nothing, you`ve got nothing for us and we`ve got
nothing for you’, you say:’no’, and say it loud:”no!”, remember, people who
talk about revolution and a cl-ss-struggle without refering explicitly to
everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about law, and what
is positive in the refusal and constraint… since people have a core to
their hearts(?)…”
halleluyah and farewell,
the mighty ram.
