Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Romeo and Juliet."


...I am really having a problem with all these Gals (floods of adulating E-mails), these Gals reminiscing about ME in Song and Poetry? Their output generally begins with:
"AH GOT DA BLUES!" -they then cut to the MEAT: (starting, gently:)
"HE BROKE MAH HEART, the Buick (auto) won't start - outta gas! - that frickin' DAVE owes me serious money!?" -then? -just to nail my sad ass to the wall, along comes a full description-WANTED POSTER: "WANTED! -DEAD, absolutely Dead or WITH MONEY!" -poster, on the inter-net/remember we are talkin bout gal-songwriters? The WANTED POSTER description goes on: "HIS EYES were blue. He moved South to escape the hue (and cry) of my Spanish moss!"
-I'm paranoid at every frickin airport!!?
It gets worse:
(on the WANTED POSTER) "JUST TELL HIM I love him? Just give me back dat $20 dat I had stashed in da pick-up truck!?" -which, mostly, I recall - in generality? - is UN-true! And what ya gonna do with a $5 bill? Donate it to ST. MERCY (hospital), give it to the NEEDY?... ROMEO ain't bleeding, but maybe JULIET needs a kiss?

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Only the Lonely."


Only the lonely will buy your old clothes? Only the Lonely will - if need arise? - kill your enemies? Only the lonely will skip, skate and slide? -perhaps not even knowing they ARE lonely; only knowing that - by your side? - you  fill da vacuum in their void?

Only the Lonely, thru thick and thin; will win your WARS; dat BODY COUNT? - and deserve your love? Without them, Peace will never come; and, SENSE - like da Milky Way? - will resolve to be apparent, yet float away?

Only da Lonely, LEPERS all, crystallize the sinew of your own Soul? Only the Lonely: JEEZ! -They ALL left town! Maybe tomorrow? Maybe today? -complain-complain; your mind-City in ruins/your gal's got da POX; and the whole Country, FALLEN, like U and Me, to a lonely ground?

BUT ONLY da Lonely, get to be "quietly" cool? Only the lonely, understand da mis-understood? And only the Lonely, can raise  dat FAME; amongst angels, kids, Saints and despair; understanding, some day? -we must do it again?
-Only the Lonely; only the lonely; only da Lonely...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ Shanghai Anna!


BABE! Babe! I bought some eggs, I bought some of those fat Italian sausages, I wanted to RELAX, so I "advanced to GO" and went to the PARRUCHIERE, hair Salon: Anna (Chinese gal) and got an "economy" sized haircut?... I'M pretty much a VIKING; I say to ANNA: "OK. EASY on the SIDES/ leave da QUIFF (frontal hair) alone? -She smilingly acquiesces. 45 minutes later, I look like like an EXTRA - movie-actor -  in a Honk Kong-BEE-movie!
....This woman, Shanghai Anna? .... I love her!!!...:)

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ DON'T forget WINONA!!!...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/  "Don't forget WINONA!"...


...The only woman I ever loved (Girls? -fill in blank space:) ................................. struck me as "cheerful"; as a prelude to her acquiring a SHOTGUN.
Apparently, I live close to DEALLY PLAZA (Houston Texas); the bullets keep flying: Enough to drive a man to drink!
Ghosts and haunting usually come with over-head white sheets and Lott's "WHOOOS!!!"
Not mine.
.....On highway, ROUTE 66, from Chicago to L.A., winding 2,000 miles away? -OKLAHOMA CITY, looking mighty pretty? -I?m BUSTED! -WINONA shows up in a "vecchio" Pontiac 7 and NOW - apparently? - my life is forfeit!
BOYS!!! -DO NOT forget Winona; cause Winona won't forget YOU!...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "Broke & Busted!, No. 7...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ Broke & Busted, No. 7!


Broke & busted on a Saturday nite? GALS always save some Ducats for Sunday, that's - perhaps? - why they are loved? And, come Sunday, they always LOOK so fresh?... Men? -they look like old fish!?

Broke & busted on a Saturday nite, full of venom, full of jealous spite? -Business, WAR, football, politics? -Do these brats know the meaning of it all?: GRAFFITI! -sooo wasted on the Classic-hunter-gatherer; did she catch a glance of his ancient sword?

Broke & busted, busted and broke. It's only Time - as we know it? - that cuts the throat of our collective longing? And, there's "the rub!" -which leaves U with idle hands.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/lord borgo/ THE BALCONY...

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/lord Borgo/  "The Balcony"...

On da balcony above me? -Juanita.
On da balcony above? There she sits.
On da balcony, above me; she sings:
"Quando amore?"
On the balcony, above my head;
I'm in love.

On the balcony, above, I heard her
CRY;
her Padre wish to marry HER -
Il local Capitano!!!

On the balcony, I heard her cry
in despair: fights-fists, rows and crowds;
Juanita threw herself
off her balcony

On the balcony, I sit quite alone?
And gaze at the ground below
where she fell; and I promise
Juanita's love, that I TOO
will be true; from the balcony,
from da balcony, from da
balcony, JUANITA...I love U.

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ NIAGARA!!!

Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/lord Borgo/ ..."NIAGARA!

Chicken? Dis side of a harvest moon?  -all da kids are Chicken; kindergarten till college-wed; and even then,, the HONEYMOON: Niagara Falls? HEAR! Hear da death knell-bell-toll; MARILYN MONROE walks happily to her doom.

FEAR, deep-fried and sunny-side UP, crispy basmati rice which...whiskers the moment: da big 1, 2 , 3! -I love U. I fucked U. Don't call me! And No. 4. If I see U again? -then, don't see ME.

Chicken, this side of a Harvest Moon; and before we meet, wishing it cannot be too soon? NIAGARA FALLS, flows, and all the secrets that it knows.
