Bruce Cockburn citáty a výroky

„Myslím, že musíte rozlišovat. Ne mezi uměním a politikou, ale mezi uměním a propagandou. Politika je součást života a ignorovali byste celý jeho jeden aspekt, kdybyste ji vynechali v písních.“

Bruce Cockburn: Citáty anglicky

“These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste, when you're
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time...”

Stealing Fire (1984)

“Had another dream about the lions at the door
They were not half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind'a ecstasy's got a hold on me
Walls, windows, trees, waves coming through
You be in me I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind'a ecstasy's got a hold on me
Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley were the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind'a ecstasy's got a hold on me, and I'm
Wondering where the lions are and I'm
Wondering where the lions are…”

Stealing Fire (1984)

“All the diamonds in this world
That mean anything to me
Are conjured up
by wind and sunlight sparkling on the sea
I ran aground in a harbor town
Lost the taste for being free
Thank God he sent some gull chased ship
To carry me to sea…”

What would I do that was different
Unless it was champagne with you…”
