lirik lagu the birthplace of harlequin – michael moorcock & the deep fix
[verse 1]
in this ancient time*fouled city discredited gods do brood
on all the imagined insults which down the aeons they’ve received
it is a place of graves and here dreams are destroyed
dreams are brought from all the corners of the world
to be crushed or ripped or melted down
into a healthy cynicism
here are tricksters born
and fools divested of enchantment
[verse 2]
this is the place where pierrot is k!lled
and from his flesh harlequin created
to race across the world, laughing at nothing
laughing at everything
laughing at is pain
laughing at the tired gods who bore him
here in this city, this city of shades
this city of irony bereft of imagination
this city of suppression
this city of pragmatism
where the jesters weep
and the tricksters scheme
parading in motley
too afraid to scream
too wary to acknowledge love
unless love’s made a game
a game which they can win
[verse 3]
here, in this city of swaggering fantasticos, of calculated gallantry
was harlequin the trickster born, to go about the world, to win
to attract; to display an easy cleverness; to lie and to deceive
to show what shallow things are dreams, and promises impossible to keep
and should he meet with frankness, unashamed honesty
back to this city harlequin may flee
to be replenished, armed afresh by his weary masters
the gorgeous gods of disharmony
