Hallo
Weil ich sie gerade rauf und runter höre: Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West. Eine wunderbare Platte, voller Bezüge zu Himmel und Hölle.
Ein paar Textauszüge:
Aus: Bankrupt On Selling
Well, all the apostles, they’re sitting in swings
Saying, „I’d sell off my savior for a set of new rings
And some sandals with the style of straps
That cling best to the era“
…
And all of the angels, they’d sell off your soul
For a set of new wings and anything gold…"
Aus: Doin’ The Cockroach
I was in heaven
I was in hell
Believe in neither
But fear them as well
Aus: Cowboy Dan
He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky
And says „God if I have to die, you will have to die“
Aus: Styrofoam Boots
Well, all’s not well
But I’m told that it’ll all be quite nice
You’ll be drowned in boots like Mafia
But your feet will still float like Christ’s
And I’ll be damned
They were right
I’m drowning upside down
My feet afloat like Christ’s
I’m in heaven
Trying to figure out which stack
They’re going to stuff us atheists into
When Peter and his monkey laugh
And I laugh with them
I’m not sure what at
They point and say
„We’ll keep you in the back
Polishing halos, baking manna and gas“
Well, some guy comes in looking a bit
Like everyone I ever seen
He moves just like Crisco disco
Breath 100% Listerine
He says looking at something else
But directing everything to me
„Every time anyone gets on their knees to pray
Well, it makes my telephone ring
And I’ll be damned“
He said, „You were right
No one’s running this whole thing“
He had a theory, too
He said that God takes care of himself
God takes care of himself
And you of you
Nicht zu vergessen „Jesus Christ Was An Only Child“, aber da kommt kein Himmel vor.
Würde sicherlich eine interessante „religionspädagogische Einheit“ ergeben.
