発端はふとした私のミス。ブロークン・バリケーズって知ってる。と知人に話したのが間違いのもと。
いい曲だねとの答えに、へえー日本ではヒットしなかったのに、よくご存じと感心して話を進めている内に、どうも話がチグハグに。決定打は、「1995年の苗場プリンスのCM」との言葉。半信半疑でユーミン?そうKATHMANDU収録のBroken Barricadeでしょ?
ごめん、Procol HarumのBroken Barricades
これで一件落着でしたが・・・
"Broken Barricades"
It was all once bright jewels
And glittering sand
The oceans have ravaged
And strangled the land
Waste fills the temples,
Dead daughters are born
The presses are empty
The editors torn
Whose husband was the first to fall?
Who died the worst death of them all?
How many splinters in each separate band?
How many stations in the final hand?
Now gather up sea shells,
And write down brave words
Your prayers are unanswered,
Your idols absurd
The seaweed and the cobweb,
Have rotted your sword
Your barricades broken,
Your enemies lord.
Procol Harum
