Our man in europe/davedelacroix/ZENITH, No. 6: "Greensleeves"
...Ran into JOHNNY PHELAN (Irish fella), World traveller and BANDOLEER, on a Pilgrimage to ROMA. He crashed one night at the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/big screen TV), Piacenza, Italy...
So. Post- pasta-pesto! plus vino, late into the night; guitar in-hand, a Guinness in the other, he strums - with HIS TEETH! - belting out: "Greensleeves"
(a walking-talking, singing "renaissance" BLUES" number)
GREENSLEEVES (talking bit!)
Don't forget? Less WE forget? -the forgetting?
Don't lend a hand, don't lift a hand?
Nor give a hand, unless U got a spare to share?
Don't kiss my lips, boy or girl? Don't sail
the SEVEN SEAS for something more?
If U DO?
.....Send me a bloody postcard!
GREENSLEEVES (singing bit!)
Greensleeves? - all my joy? Greensleeves? - my heart's delight?
Greensleeves? - with all my soul? Greensleeves? - your heart of gold;
And a Whisky for me in the morning.
....He, (Johnny Phelan/Irish fella)
World traveller and BANDOLEER? -he was long gone
when I awoke at the crack of BRIGADOON? -CASH, (€35, left for me on the coffee table);
an atmosphere of "good groove", and THIS:
WOT U READ:
"Greensleeves? all my joy. Greensleeves? -my heart's delight?
Greensleeves?? -with all my Soul? Greensleeves? -your heart of gold?
And a Whisky for me in the morning..."
"....Don't forget? -less WE forget; the forgetting..."
SLANGE!
