Still...you turn me on
独自のデザイン・センスで映画界や音楽界に多大な影響を及ぼした芸術家、H.R.ギーガー氏の訃報に接しました。
御冥福をお祈りすると共に哀悼の意を込めて、同氏がアートワークを担当した Emerson, Lake & Palmer の "Brain Salad Surgery" を眺めつつ、収録曲の一つに耳を傾けてみる事にしましょう。
"Still...you turn me on"
" Do you wanna be an angel,
Do you wanna be a star,
Do you wanna play some magic on my guitar ?
Do you wanna be a poet,
Do you wanna be my string ?
You could be anything.
Do you wanna be the lover of another undercover ?
You could even be the man on the moon."
" Do you wanna be the player,
Do you wanna be the string ?
Let me tell you something,
It just don't mean a thing.
You see it really doesn't matter
when you're buried in disguise
by the dark glass on your eyes,
though your flesh has crystallized;
Still...you turn me on."
" Do you wanna be the pillow where I lay my head,
Do you wanna be the feathers lying in my bed ?
Do you wanna be a colour cover magazine;
create a scene.
Every day a little sadder, a little madder,
Someone get me a ladder."
" Do you wanna be the singer,
Do you wanna be the song ?
Let me tell you something
you just couldn't be more wrong.
You see I really have to tell you that it all gets so intense.
From my experience
It just doesn't seem to make sense.
Still...you turn me on."
(Music composed & Lyrics written by Greg Lake)
