Приветствую всех!
На сайте Лисьего Хвоста появилась очередная электронная книга - "Джордж Харрисон: Темная лошадка". Сольное творчество Джорджа в одной обертке.
Хотелось бы отметить, как Джордж переиначил песенку Taxman в Японии (декабрь 1991):
TAXMAN
One, two, three, four... Hrmm! One, two (three, four!)
Let me tell you how it will be,
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Should five percent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
(If you drive a car, car) I'll tax the street,
(If you try to sit, sit) I'll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold, cold) I'll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk, walk) I'll tax your feet.
Taxman!
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
Don't ask me what I want it for (ah ha, Mister Major),
If you don't want to pay some more (ah ha, Mister Neil).
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
If I reduce it down you'll see (ah ha, Boris Jeltsin),
You'll get back more in the vat (ah ha, Mister Bush)
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
(If you get a head, head) I'll tax your hat,
(If you get a pet, pet) I'll tax your cat,
(If you wipe your feet, feet) I'll tax your mat,
(If you're over-weight, weight) I'll tax your fat.
Now my advise to those who die (Taxman),
Declare the pennies on your eyes (Taxman).
'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
And you're working for no one but me.
(Taxman)
Yes, I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman.
