Farmer in the City (Tilt 1995 ) Scott Walker video by Bill Zachos
Описание
The "Tilt" (1995) is the first part of his final trilogy, including The Drift (2006) and Bish Bosch (2012). If you want to know about his work ask " David Boyd" The opening track, "Farmer in the City", is subtitled "Remembering Pasolini". A few of the lyrics are appropriated from Norman Macafee's English translation of Pier Paolo Pasolini's poem, "Uno dei Tanti Epiloghi" ("One of the Many Epilogs"), which was written in 1969 for Pasolini's friend and protégé, the scruffy young nonprofessional actor, Ninetto Davoli. Throughout the song, Walker's chant of "Do I hear 21, 21, 21...? I'll give you 21, 21, 21...", may be a reference to Davoli's age when he was drafted into (and subsequently deserted from) the Italian army.

This night you
are mistaken
I'm a farmer
in the city
Dark farm
houses
against the
sky
Every night
I must wonder
why
Harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling
Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o
Can't go by
a man from
Rio
Can't go by
a man from
Vigo
Can't go by
a man from
Ostia
Hey Ninetto
Remember that
dream
We talked about
it
so many times
Do I hear
21
21
21
I'll give you
21
21
21
Do I hear
21
21
21
I'll give you
21
21

And if I'm not
mistaken
We can search
from farm to
farm
Dark farm houses
against our eyes
Every night I
must realize
Harness on the
left nail
Keeps withering
withering
Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o
Can't go by
a man in
this shirt
Can't go by
a man in
that shirt
Can't go by a man
with brain
grass
Go by his long
long eye
gas
And I used
to be a
citizen
I never felt
the pressure
I knew nothing
of the horses
Nothing of the
thresher
Paolo
take me with
you
It was the
journey of
a life
Do I hear
21
21
21
I'll give you
21
21
21
Do I hear

I'll give you
