Golden Brown

[pustomytnyk]

колись зроблю окремий допис про мій найпреулюбленіший гурт. „Ми не вживали жорстоких слів, щоб розтинати жорстокі моря‟.

3 і 4 рядки мали-б мати однакове закінчення, але це нереально.

Золота, сонцю пара
Я розтав, мій глузд украла
Протягом ночі
Опір полиш
Суму нема, ти золота

І завжди ніби востаннє
Полонив солодкий спів
У дивну даль
За руки веде
Суму нема, ти золота

Золота, сама зваба
Віками на захід йде
Із далини
Тут один день
Суму нема, ти золота

Суму нема
ти золота

Суму нема
ти золота


- There’s been a great deal of controversy over the lyrics. What are they about?
- ‘Golden Brown’ works on two levels. It’s about heroin and also about a girl. She was of Mediterranean origin and her skin was golden brown. So the song was about how my girlfriend and heroin both provided me with pleasurable times. The third verse is more about the feelings you have when taking heroin. When you smoke it or snort heroin you can still feel it in your body the next day. And heroin comes from the Far East.
...
- Why did you compare your girlfriend with a vessel? 
- Just the romantic idea of a woman being a ship, like in ‘Toiler On The Sea’. 
- The idea of her taking you away? 
- Yes. A woman is a vessel, isn’t she? 
- Is she? 
- She can be. You’re inside a woman when you’re having sex and there’s something womb-like about being on a ship protected from the raging sea around you. 
...
- The lyrics suggest you were always happy with both the woman and the drug. 
- Absolutely. It’s a positive lyric.
