Free man in Riga

Un'altra dura giornata a recitare il mio strano lavoro, a metà tra l'uomo d'ordine e lo psicanalista per signora. Sono passati cinque anni da quando sono tornato da Riga in Italia per cominciare tutto questo. Così mi torna sempre in mente questa canzone di Joni Mitchell.
Peccato, capisci che sei felice solo quando è troppo tardi, o forse è la vita che ci porta, o il dovere... mah.


FREE MAN IN PARIS
Joni Mitchell

...

Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris

I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on

...

Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I'd just walk out those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysees
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris

I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on

...
