[Barabbas]

...weil ich weiss, dass Du verstehen kannst...:

A modern day warrior
Mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

D'u know the LP?

RE: @Shanti


ich bin zwar bemüht, aber verstehe leider nicht immer. :-(

Aber deine Frage ist leicht und kann ich dir auf alle Fälle beantworten. :-)

Titel: Tom Sawyer
Gruppe: Rush
CD: Moving Pictures (1981)
CD: Exit .. Stage left (1981) live

Ob es auch als LP erhältlich ist, weiß ich nicht. Nehme aber an, dass du sowieso CD gemeint hast, oder?

RE: @Shanti


Ja. Es war das erste Album von Rush, dass ich überhaupt besizt habe. Jetzt habe ich alle (20!). Besonders zu beachten sind die Texte, hier das 2.:

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

Wenn Du Fragen hast, sag's...Ich kann alles erklären.

Red Barchetta aus der gleichnamigen CD
Freut mich für dich, dass du die komplette Discographie von Rush dein EIGEN nennen darfst.

Danke noch für dein Angebot. Mein Satz mit dem verstehen, hat sich aber weniger auf englische Texte bezogen, als Allgemein. Nichtsdestotrotz gibt es auch hier, mangels Anwendung der Sprache in letzter Zeit, hin und wieder den einen oder anderen Satz, wo ich intensiver nachdenken muss. Schadet aber nicht. ;-)

BB ich werde jetzt aber nicht alle Titel aus deiner Sammlung benennen. Dazu fehlt mir auch ein wenig die Zeit.
