Alan Moore: scarica la canzone per Occupy e vinci la maschera di V per Vendetta
Dopo Kim Dotcom cantante, anche Alan Moore si dà alla musica! Il geniale creatore di 'Watchmen' e 'V per Vendetta' ha appena pubblicato un singolo, intitolato 'The Decline of English Murder', per la Occupation Records, che fa parte del movimento Occupy.
La canzone racconta la storia di un "assassino inglese imposto al popolo dall'avidità della banche e dall'incompetenza dello stato" e potete ascoltarla in anteprima qui sotto grazie al Guardian.
La traccia è scritta e cantata da Alan Moore, mentre la musica è opera di Joe Brown, e può essere scaricata QUI al costo di una sterlina: tra tutti i download ce ne sarà uno che si aggiudicherà una maschera di 'V per Vendetta' firmata dallo stesso Moore.
Di seguito il testo di 'The Decline of English Murder':
She sorts out her hair in the washroom at Preston Services
Dries her hands under a notice that reads have you seen this child
And she nurses one tea for an hour in the cafeteria
Watching the truck drivers blind their fried eggs with the cutlery
And English Murder. Its all over her face.
Just waiting until the right time the wrong light boy
There'll be a photograph
With a bad 1970's fringe and a look of uncertainty
Years later you'll know the name but not where you know it from
And they've emptied the terraced row with compulsory purchases
Reasoning that they'd make more from the ground with the people gone
So he shuffles the half a mile to the nearest post office
When lads push into the queue he pretends he's not noticed them
And English murder. Its all over his face.
A low enough cold snap, a high enough gas bill
You'll skim the epitaph
And you'll possibly notice his name like somebodies you knew from school
There'll be an off the peg verse where sad has been rhymed with dad
And the houses in which they've invested their City bonuses
Have increased the property prices and therefore the homelessness
And the scabby grey anti-climb paint and withdrawn amenities
In case socialising promotes anti-social behaviour
And English murder. Its all over the place.
The bunches of flowers in pedestrian precincts
Your average psychopath, at least kills with a hammer or brick
and not with greed and incompetence
And after two or three years maybe they'll express remorse
