Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/BAD TOURIST No. 9:  SEX or LOVE?

(dedicato: Sylvia in Frieburg)


Sex or Love?


Sex or Love in your lexicon? I just got back from CHINA, AMERICA too?... In PERSIA, the "Parthian Shot"; my gift to U?
Man's breast, women's breasts? -It's neither here nor there. A love song, the Gods laugh or smile: SHAME ON THEM.

Sex or Love? -In your dynamic, thaT THRILLS THE THIGHS? -tREMBLE! tREMBLE! gIRL!
-THIS SIDE OF pARADISE.
iS IT ANY WONDER i'M ON MY KNEES, hafiz will opine TWIX you AND CONFUSION?
Lonesome, but not lonely: Sex or Love? Sex or Love? HAFIZ, Persia's "bard" and me?
-can U forgive me (Can u forgive Hafiz?)  for seeing the light in your eyes?
Sex or Love? Why is it THAT song comes, defines, stays? And peacock feathers,  fans into electric light?

RED SKY tonight?   - A shepherds delight!..
Red sky-in morning?  - Sailors take warning.

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/Bad Touist no. 8:  "Wednesday"...


On WEDNESDAY I saw U in your BLUE-WHITE print dress. U didn't
say U were a woman, U said U were a Girl and U made me a Boy, again.

On Saturday, I took U out on the town. Someone lent me some decent  clothes
and I felt worthy of U.

On Sunday, we Picnic-ed in the hills, above a town, above a Life.
You're stocking got caught on some thorns? -We both laughed!

U caught a cold?
I caught a cold? Somehow,
we never met again, or ever a "Wednesday"
and the splendour in the grass.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/BAD TOURIST, No. 7: "The Garden Weasels"

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/BAD TOURIST No. 7:  "The Garden Weasels"...


 (Part 2, after Napoli)

...I could have predicted it: MISSION DIABOLICAL (the early years).... "Our" beloved, famous Rock and Roll-PUNK troopers bit off more than - the Holy foreskin - that they could chew despite my sovereign warnings?
"Shooting-da-GAFF" in Napoli with songs, entitled: "SODOMY ISABELLA", "SAINT FRANCIS "A" GOT NO DOPE!" and "ANDRETTI DRIVES A MINI-COOPER" don't get U kudos in "Il Campagnia"?... Then, later; 3 sell-out gigs in Naples, with Punk Anthems: "FAKE GUCCI BAG", "DORA FROM CAMMORAH!", these boys - The Weasels? - were lucky to get out of Southern Italy just alive!?

BONZO (vocals) is suffering from "cerebral hemmoragh"/now constantly wears an ORTHOPEDIC bandanna.

ZWEVIL (guitar) has two thumbs/NO fingers, which will probably effect his "speed guitar" playing in years to come.

LARGE (he's actually SWEDISH) re-arrives n Milano, less one ARM; apparently content to just "pulse" his Bass with his left one, con fingers, Bass-amp. on MAX: audiences ears simply BLEED...?

GONZO-SPADE? (drummer/he's not black) having been - courtesy of the Napolese-Cammorah-Mafia - been "relieved of BOTH his arms still manages to execute a DEF LEOPARD beat on a six piece drum kit by using both his adjoined feet on "hi-hat" and "kick-drum" and using only his HEAD on drums and Cymbals...?

These boys, apparently, are not going to go away; least ways, not quietly!...:)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/Il Comte de Environ, No. 6:  FALCONE


Between Torino and Milano
lip-service to Venizia;
"Wotcha gonna do?"

Between Firenze (Florence), Ferarra
and PISA?
The BORGIAS knew it, too.

Between Roma and Napoli?
-Suicide is best?
Oil and wine rarely mix;

between Salerno and Brindisi
and ITALIAN WIT;
no despair.

Between "Papem Habemus"
and that Signorina, you love?
DUCATS for the Poor.
Familial!
Frascati vino: Barolo!
And Good Men are born to fly...

Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/BAD TOURIST, No. 1:  "Broken ribs and Broken Heart.,.."


Broken Ribs and Broken heart?
-will never keep me and my Gal a-part.
Broken shoes? Got dem BLUES?
-just don't go SOUTH;
it's where U lose.

Broken NOSE and a broken CHIN
a broken GUN, it's wot U won,
the price for your CHAGRIN;
and a lipstick kiss?
-would YA miss?
a Hospital for TWO?

Broken SPLEEN, go North, my Queen?
A geletto for your thoughts?
-Is where we END, just where we BEGIN
this side of of your sad Joy?

Broken toes, fingers; WIGGLE!
-they say that WE are ALIVE;
it's dat ol' song
dat U wrote,
that keeps us BOTH alive?

Broken Hearts, spleen, kidneys;
the local Bra voes do their work;
a philosophical dispute
over how U broke my Heart...
