"MIX IT UP IN A TANK & GET A ROBOT COMMANDO" - NEW BOB DYLAN OUT TODAY
Today sees the release of Bob Dylan's Rough And Rowdy Ways. The album's third track, "My Own Version Of You," sees the narrator creating a sort of Frankenstein creature out of parts and people that include the fictional title characters from Scarface (specifically, the Al Pacino version) and The Godfather:
Well, it must be the winter of my discontent
I wish you'd've taken me with you wherever you went
They talk all night and they talk all day
Not for a minute do I believe anything they say
I'm gon' bring someone to life, someone I've never seen
You know what I mean, you know exactly what I meanI'll take the Scarface Pacino and The Godfather Brando
Mix it up in a tank and get a robot commando
If I do it upright and put the head on straight
I'll be saved by the creature that I createI'll get blood from a cactus, gunpowder from ice
I don't gamble with cards and I don't shoot no dice
If you look at my face with your sightless eyes
Can you cross your heart and hope to die?
I'll bring someone to life, someone for real
Someone who feels the way that I feel
(Thanks to Carsten!)
