Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "DA SUNDOWNERS: 1 to 10!"


1)  Death and Taxes.

....I pretty much skipped ONE?... It's the OTHER fricker I'm worried about...
"C'est la Vie!"...:)


2)  DIO

...When GOD comes to see Ya, the Devil, predictably, comes first (talk with Eve); ain't dat just the way? U gott'a fancy telephone? Wotcha-gonna-do? Listen to EXILE ON MAIN STREET? -Ya got da "bollocks" on Me!

When GOD comes to town, U dyin', in trouble...(excusa mio...I'm rollin a cigarette)...it's IMPORTANTE where ever U are; by the Pantheon, the Vatican, by your TV set, or in - Denver - "My Brother's Bar?"

DIO ARRIVEE, Angels, too: Milano-fashionistas: Wings...and things?... STEP to da left! STEP to da right?  Those GUCCI shoes? (...............fill in blank) MORTE!!!

When God comes to see ya; I hope he smiles...


3)   Toys of your Dreams. (dedicato: Derek)

...Finger, finger, in your crotch? A cerebral conception that leaves U IN-ept? -I know: Like the Toys of your dreams.

Scento-scenti, the perfume...that NEVER goes away, with Chanel, Aramis, a spray, you carry ALL your life, then later, to the other side?

Toys of your dreams? Supposed to BE? U? Me? The playground of the Gods? -Dream On. And what few toys U can save, you throw FIRST: Inferno...

On the "bright-side"? My Whiz-kid daughter - apparently - rules the Financial world; so, I guess, my bones can rest?...:)


4)  Da Thrill is Gone.

Da thrill, YO THRILL, is gone, and B.B.King can't reach mah soul? And when that happens? -U know U? YO-MAMMA!
Yesterday's kisses - day and nite - KEEP U up, talk sweet nuts, and whisper?
DA THRILL is gone!? Go tell ya Sista
brother
Madre,
Go tell ya Padre
(JEEZE: Go tell da Mountain!)
And if ya STILL (pant-pant!) got breath:
 Il Vaticano!
It's UP to U...when the thrill has gone.
"Honey?" (new gal)
"Get off the god-damned phone!!!"


5)  Da Sun-downers.

"MA!? -Do I have to go back to the KIDS HOME?"
"Only for 2 weeks, babee?... Pappa bought a NEW truck; s'posed to WORK? We'll be in 'honey', my sweet?"
"MAMMA!!! -I got a toothache!"
"Son? U are da big boy of the family: GROW!?..."
"MAMMA!???"
"Let me look-see? Some 'mouth-wash' may put it at bay?"
"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH Marvin? I gott'a homesick daughter - hasn't even LEFT yet? - and your BOY needs a dentist?"
"Don't worry, Hon'. Uncle Max sez da  new  "4 x 4" (Chevrolet truck) will be fixed up fine! ...Coupl'a days, we get out of here, up to Oregon, baskin' in the tall cotton!..."
"MAAAA! I had an accident!!!"


6)  LOU-EEZE

Beer, wine ...or "tutti-fruitti? Louise slithered... bah-mah-aperto-appartmento! ZZZZZZZZ, then some!
Louise (not to be confused with LOU REED) hypnotized me, then wrapped me in her coils....and BREATHING - believe me? - was difficult?
The rest is History. Say WHA? -The toilet/bagni?  It's down the hall.
