Safe In My garden

Safe in my garden,
An ancient flower blooms.
And the scent from its nature
Slowly squares my room;
And its perfume being such
that it's causing me to swoon.
Could it be we were hot-wired
(Safe in my garden, an ancient flower blooms...)
Late one night while very tired?
They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it.
(And the scent from its nature slowly squares my room...)
With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand.
We don't care where it lands - we just throw it.

Somebody take us away...
Somebody take us away...

Safe in my garden,
(Could it be we were hot-wired late one night while very tired...)
An ancient flower blooms.
(They stole our minds and thought we'd never know it...)
And the scent from its nature
(With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand...)
Slowly squares my room.
(We don't care where it lands - we just throw it...)

(Somebody take us away...)
And it's perfume being such
That it's causing me to swoon.

When you go out in the street, (Safe in our garden...)
So many hassles with the heat;
No one there can fill your desire. (And the scent...)
Cops out with the megaphones,
Telling people stay inside their home.
Man, can't they see the world's on fire?

Somebody take us away...take us away...

Safe in our garden,
An ancient flower blooms.
And the scent from its nature...
(Cops out with the megaphones;
Tellin' people stay inside their homes.)
Man, the world's on fire.)
Slowly squares my room.

Take us away...take us away...

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

(Lennon/McCartney)

太春 (Taichue)

　太春本館(台北)の屋台のような店先。ビールは台湾ビールの黒など，いろいろ用意している。日本酒もある。



　台北の宿について質問を受けました。
　乗り継ぎのための半日の滞在はバックパックひとつの軽装です。台北駅前の国光客運バスターミナルが徒歩10分と近く，華陰街の安宿は便利なのです。早朝のチェックアウトは鍵をそっと置いてくるだけで済みますし。

　で，3連泊とかだと，ネット環境をはじめずっと快適な西門町のビジネス・ホテルの部屋に荷をほどきます。リピーターは大幅に値引きをしてくれる宿です。
　どちらのホテルも予約せずに，ウォーク・インで利用してきましたが，困ったことはありません。


　夕食はビールが飲める店。
　たとえば，「太春」(民生西路198-4)。雙連派出所の並びにあって，新館ほど清潔ではない"本館"のほうです。通りに面して，酒場と書かれた小さな提灯が下がっています。夜市がすぐ近くです。メニューは，日本料理他。ボクが注文するのは，塩コショウでいただく小粒カキの天ぷら，隼人瓜の若芽炒め，或いはありきたりの台湾の焼きそば等です。
　焼きギョーザとラーメンの「張家清真黄牛肉麺館」(延平南路21号)も台北滞在中は必ず利用します。どちらの店も西門町や林森からタクシーで100元程度。サンダル履きでもOK。

　なお，ボクは香辛料の八角が大の苦手で，台湾での食事にはとても慎重です。

"Golden Lady"

Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
Cause I'm not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I'll leave it up to you to show it

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance
Just to hold your hand
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true
There's no way that I'll be losing

And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away

A touch of rain and sunshine made the flower grow
Into a lovely smile that's blooming
And it's so clear to me that you're my dream come true
There is no way that I'll be losing

Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there

(1974,Bell) 101 DISTRIBUTION

Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out

They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...Yeah
When you get it off...your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get it off...your trip

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out

Don't you worry 'bout a thing

We walked the loneliest mile
We smiled without any style
We kiss altogether wrong
No intention

We lied about each others dreams
We lived without each other thinkin'
What anyone would do
Without me and you

Chorus:
It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play

So hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely way up here

We mention the time we were together
So long ago, well I don't remember
All I know is that it makes me feel good now

And it's a sad heart that
Won't love like I know it should

Oh, how lonesome you must be, yeah
And it's a shame if you don't
Share your love with me

And it's a heartache
When love is gone
But it's bad and
Even sad later on

There's no one blinder
Than he who won't see, yeah
And it's a shame if you
Don't share you love with me

And I can't help it
Oh, no, if she is gone
You must try to forget
Woah, you must live on

And I said it's a
Good thing to love someone
But it's bad and even sad
When it's not returned

And, oh, how lonesome, yes
You must be, yeah
And it's a shame if you
Don't share your love with me

And I said it's a shame if you
Don't share your love with me
Oh, yeah
