Der Panther.

Im Jardin des Plantes, Paris

Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe
so müd geworden, dass er nichts mehr hält.
Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe
und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.

Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte,
der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht,
ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte,
in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.

Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille
sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht ein Bild hinein,
geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille -
und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.


Rainer Maria Rilke, 6.11.1902, Paris

Is that alright?

Leave me out with the waste
this is not what I do
it's the wrong kind of place
to be thinking of you
it's the wrong time
for somebody new
it's a small crime
and I've got no excuse

is that alright? (yeah)
I give my gun away when it's loaded
is that alright? (yeah)
if you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?
is that alright? (yeah)
I give my gun away when it's loaded
is that alright... with you ?
leave me out with the waste
this is not what I do
it's the wrong kind of place
to be cheating on you
it's the wrong time
she's pulling me through
it's a small crime
and I've got no excuse
Refrain:
is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded (is that alright? yeah)
is that alright?
if you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it? (is that alright? yeah)
is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded (is that alright? yeah)
is that alright;
is that alright with you ?
is that alright?
is that alright
is that alright
is that alright with you ?

Damien Rice - 9 Crimes

Hold on.

You keep your distance,
I can't deny you.
I got the feeling, can't satisfy you.
I got your picture on the wall.
I got the picture long gone.
You keep your wishes, (keep you wishes)
I keep my feelings.
There goes another one that kept me breathing.
I'm waiting for you,
I know your leaving.
I still adore you.
You never need me.
Hold on.
I've found another way to let you go, away.
Hold on.
You've found another way to bleed my soul, away.
The things you told me,
To hear you speak.
I'm burning slowly,
I'm growing weak.
You bring me closer to, yesterday,
Yesterday's a million miles away.
Why can't you hear me? (why can't you hear me)
Why can't I sleep? (why can't I sleep)
And I don't understand what keeps me breathing.
I'm waiting for you. (im waitin for you)
I know you're leaving,
I'll still adore you,
You never need me.
Hold on.
I've found another way to let you go, away.
Hold on.
You've found another way to bleed my soul, away.
Hold on.
I've found another way to let you go, away.
Hold on.
You've find another way to bleed my soul, away.
Hold on.
I've found another way to let you go, away.
Hold on.
You've found another way to bleed my soul, away.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
