The Power of Song

My dirty stream

(The Hudson River Song)

Sailing down my dirty stream

Still I love it and I'll keep the dream

That someday, though maybe not this year

My Hudson River will once again run clear

It starts high on the mountains of the north

crystal clear and icy trickles forth

With just a few floating wrappers of chewing gum

dropped by some hickers to warn of things to come

At Glens Falls,  five thousand honest hands

work at the consolidated paper plant

Five millions gallons of waste a day

why should we do it any other way?

Down the valley one million toilet chains
Find my Hudson so convenient place to drain
And each little city says, "Who, me?
Do you think that sewage plants come free?"

Out in the ocean they say the water's clear, but I live right at Beacon here
Half way between the mountains and sea
Tacking to and fro, this thought returns to me

Well it's sailing up my dirty stream
Still I love it and I'll dream
That some day, though maybe not this year
My Hudson river and my country will run clear

El hombre-mono tenía razón

Apeman

I think I'm sophisticated 'cos I'm living my life like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody's multiplying and they're walking round like flies, man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo, man
'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised 'cos strict vegetarian
And with the over population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman
Compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman
La, la, la, la...

In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
'Cos the only time that I feel at ease
is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
Oh, what a life of luxury, to be like an apeman

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman

I look out the window but I can't see the sky
'cos the air pollution is a fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman

Come and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a king-kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm a apeman

I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an apeman

Ray Davies

We shall be released

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say ev’ry man needs protection
They say ev’ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he’s not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Bob Dylan
