Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/The Sundowners, No. 23 -25: Duet for 3, then U and me:

(dedicato: Carole Aniello)



"ON DA ROAD":


An orange, a kiss and a KIT-KAT (choco) bar,
olive oil-extra virgin, vino bianco; then
 DAVEY back on da road again?

NO Canadian-Joni Mitchell - perfect - Maple leaf?
 NO L.A. Jews talking GRIEF (Historically?),
this side of Paradise...by the rivers of Babylon?
And NO despair except DA DESPAIR:
Davey's on da road again?

Do U LEAN, tower-PISA, by necessity?
Someday? ZOOM skyward? Steven - Da Horror! -King?
Or spill ya guts!?...like an orange, a kiss,
a KIT-KAT (choco) bar,
olive oil, vino bianco;
and Davey...back  on dat damn highway?

IS IT WEDNESDAY? -a question -frequently asked.
A "mittwock", that IN-BETWEEN?  YO!
Try not to scream! -That orange, that kiss,
KIT-KAT emporium...somehow, roots U out
from where U begin:

The SCREAM,
SCREAM, WAIL & SCREAM (share it with your neighbors!)
a "delivery"; like Davey...back on da road again.




"YA Mommie should know?"

(Canzone/song: for a forgotten rock-star.)


Your "inspiration", DEAD! And UUUU,
almost, too?-looking pale. A Canzone,
written in the fury of Youth,
dang-celebrated! -now?, almost forgot; but DIVA-UUUU,
or - just simply? - No Place Home?
-running on "empty"?
; dat ol' "inspiration" slips out of your mouth, now closeted
(back room bar) where ONCE thousands crammed
for a song/canzone that "devilled" peoples Souls,
now buried, dead and long-gone
...but for the echo of a memory?

WHOA! -Some bought LP's!
Queued 3 days for tickets in the rain!
T-shirts? WOW! Posters on bedroom walls ...like rain?
-Dat Gals first orgasm! Dat kids' "Johnny-Love-Muscle",
 inspired; by UUUU?.... Then (Tra-la-la!)?

...Heard 'bout your suicide.
Heard 'bout your O.D.
Heard bout your messy divorce (Yoko No. 16)...

(Help me here, brother/fill in "da blanks"/not
 to be confused with one of mah fave
 bands/old enough to be your grand-kids?)

...From Life, UUUU went to live in the desert/campagnia.
Uhuh? And U never came back:
 Rock & Roll Oblivion.

...As for the Canzone? The song? Your
"Lend me $20!" in the key of A minor?
 -I get asked by new kids all the time.
("WHO WOZ DAT MASKED-MAN!?)

I reply: I dunno, Man. Ask your Momma;
 ya Mommie should know...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/THE SUNDOWNERS, Nos. 16 - 19: "Picnic at Hanging Rock."



1) ...A Brief HISTORY of MAN:

"YA born wailing
and U DIE
whinning."


2)  DAYS of Rock & Roll.

When I was Rock & Roll?
I joined the "Rolling Stones"
 then drowned in a swimming pool?
When I was Rock & Blues
-I sang with Janis Joplin

 In DA BEATLES
 I got shot down dead
...by Central Park
 and "The Doors" sang:

 "When the music's over..."

JIMI Hendrix
 set my OWN guitar on fire,
 but then, I choked,
 as with Jim Morrison's:
 "The bathroom is clear"?

 Jim Croce
 put TIME in a bottle
/Pink Floyd went positively-
 Moody-Blues?

Zimmerman and Donovan
 scrawled notes on church walls,
 Leonardo Cohen?
 He filled in the blanks.

Amy Whinehouse sang Helen Shapiro
...and Kurt Cobain gave blood.

When "I" was "ROCK & BLOOD",
 Matt Monroe caroused Frank Sinatra,
 Bob Dylan? -he sang Marlene Deitrich!

And now; let me introduce U
 to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young:
 (APPLAUSE!!!)
It's how it goes? It?s how it went;
SPEED GUITAR by Alvin Lee/10 Years After!

... in the Days of Rock & Roll.




3)  PICNIC...at Hanging Rock.

(...letter/found in a bottle/coast of Tasmania)

To: The Governer-General,  of New South Wales, Australia.

"SIR! We 8 girls who disapeared had had ENOUGH of that "ol'" Victorian Ladies School (Pardon my French: But FUCK U!!!) We pooled our money and bribed some of the local ABO's (Aboriginals) boys to enable our escape to the coast/sharkey bay, (I believe?) There, we took ship to Malaysia, bound for Singapore? Yet storms, Sino-chinese pirates and then the lowest of European navigators...dismembered our number. Christina, the first, died of shock. Isabelle committed suicide.; used and abused, the majority succumbed, yet, Sussanah chose to marry a brave Polynesian chief? I, alas, remain, in-fected with Syhyllis by ill-used hands; in Bora-Bora, thus...I relinquish our tale.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/THE SUNDOWNERS/ "Nos. 15: "Bobby Sands & the HHHH-Block!"

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/The Sundowners, Nos. 15: BOBBY SANDS & the HHHHH BLOCK!"


...Said we would die; we knew?
Said, for the sins of our fathers
we'd hang from a tree, the tree
under which
we shared
Love's first kiss?

...Said we go down...to Caven Town
in a blaze of glory? And, said: we'd sit
with Mama and a pint of Black?

...Said it was Always, the Fife
and the Drum and SWORE
it was always a tear?

And BANG the drum slowly
and whisper: "Sweet Kate";
And be glad
...of year after year.

Said we would DIE, we knew?
-for the Heroics
of our fathers!

Bang the drum slowly
and don't raise a frown;
I'm marching thru Cavern Town.

And play the PIPES
U handsome boys and girls
and sing of Bobby Sands;
a Patriot
A Patriot!
A true blood of the Land.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix, esq./THE SUNDOWNERS: Nos. 14 - 16! -ALPHA MAN!

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/THE SUNDOWNERS/Nos. 14 - 16: "Alpha Man!"


1) LETS SWIM TO DA MOON!

...Swim to da Moon, kiss Kids goodbye, sail into Venus, never say a Lie? And never go to WAR?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ The Sundowners, 12 to 14: ARRIVEDERCI!

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix: The Sundowners, 12 to 14: ARRIVEDERCI



1)  The Bride wore Black....2.


FIVE guys named "MO", not exactly "women-killers" (2 of 5, maybe on the JEWISH-DOWN-LO) get together every "Sabatto" at MO-1's attic apartment to hang, shoot the shit, play Cards (Blackjack) have fun and fool around? The apartment over-looks a Milano Synagogue.

It's MAGDA'S wedding day.

MO. No. 1  had a rifle... which he'd pilfered from those Police clowns at the QUES TERA. MO. No. 3 was trying it out?
"Is it loaded?"
"Don't be STUPID: Sound and effect, Mo! -This is ITALIA!"
MO-3 sighted a wedding party..and thought of his rotten wife..then he thought of his rotten mother-in-law...and fired at the Synagogue.

STRANGE BULLET: It hit the Synagogue then ricocheted Rabbis' "dread lock - cutting it CLEAN OFF - zapped through the Accordion players Accordion, direct to the bridegrooms forehead!
The bride was not pleased. And the Accordion player? He had a heart attack; died on the spot.

Magda would not let things rest.

FIVE MO'S? No. 1: She enjoined parachute - sport - jumping; they were hugging - mid-air - she kissed him then cut his cord; said: "Lak-heim!"
No. 2:  In VINO VERITAS, got him loaded with Chateaux Margeaux and deadly nite shade?
No. 3:  Off  (California coast) Point Magoo, surfing, Magda - afloat on a boat - chucking ""CHUM" in the water, the great white sharks queued?
No. 4: Piccolini problemo, but, like Shakespeare's IAGO, Magda assured him (No. 4) that his new GAL was intent on MURDER; he accidentally shot himself whilst loading/fiddling with his Glock 9mm, to defend himself?
No. 5:  ....TIRED of the "carnage"? Magda opted to just shove the last son-of-a-bitch off a nine-storey balcony...and whispered: "Mussel-tov."

The Bride wore Black.
"Shalom."



2)  "Since U went away..."


Since U went away
da World gon' South?
Since U went away
I got "Cowboy Mouth"?
Since U went away;
THE SCENE?
Since U went away
...I walk, lonesome.

Since U went away,
Il Ragazzi -less cheer?
Since U went away
A CLOUD!
Since U went away,
who cares for the year?
Since U went away
went away.

Since U went away
da world gone South?
Since U went away
I got dee ol'
"Cowboy Mouth"?
Since U went away;
The Scene? (OUR scene?)
Since U went away:
Arrivederci, since U
went away:
Arrivederci...:)



3) Sophie & Pete!


(dedicato: SOPHIA LOREN and Peter Sellers)


Sophia: "OH! OH! OH! Doctor I'm in trouble!?"
Peter: "Well, goodness-gracious-ME!"
Sophia: "Mamma-mia! Oh! OH!"

Peter: "Yes, my darling?"
"Sophia: "Well, my heart goes: "BOOM-BIIDY-BOOM
BIDDY-BOOM, BOO-BIIDY -BOO, BIDDY BOO-BOO-BOO!"

Sophia: "Doctor, do U get the picture?"
Peter: "Indeed. A Classic case!"
