Haul!

2008, Exarcheia, Athens

King Louis was the king of France before the revolution
- Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe -
And then he got his head cut off, which spoiled his constitution
- Way haul away, we'll haul away Joe -

Way, haul away, we’ll haul and hang together
Way, haul away, we’ll sail for better weather

~ Traditional, "Haul away, Joe"

One fist of iron, the other of steel

Summer 2008, Euboia

Some people say a man is made outta mud

A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

~ Merle Travis, "Sixteen tons"

Άσε με κράτα με ξέχνα με αγάπα με
κοίτα που χάλασα φούσκωσε η θάλασσα
και βγάζει χρώματα φώτα και αρώματα
μες στην άβυσσο χτίζουν τον παράδεισο

On the first day of March, it was raining....

March 2009, Patissia, Athens

But now, I've the most charming of verandas
I sit and watch the junkies, the drunks, the pimps, the whores
Five green bottles are sitting on the floor
I wish to Christ, how I wish to Christ, that I had fifteen more

~ The Pogues, "Boys from the County Hell"
