Carry on Taxi Man and do what you do

I've been scratched, so I grew claws,
I've been clawing at this windy city way too long
People think it's safe for a kitty like me,
but I've played with dogs and come up with fleas.

I've had friends and enemies
Either can turn on you 180 degrees
Eat or get eaten in these rigerous streets
Always keep an eye or your gropin' me(?)

It's like every time I try to give someone a chance
Every time I try to give a helping hand
People don't appreciate the friend I am
So what's the point of doing it again and again?

Maybe I'm just being negative
Today's a new day and I should jump right in
Put a smile on my face, catch a cab someplace,
Maybe he'll be nice and ask my name

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I'll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

Hey Mr. Taxi Cab, hey hey hey
Feels like I've been standing here all day
I called the number twice, they said you were late.
"But wait, how late?" - they hung up on my face.

And then you get here in your beat up car,
I don't know who you think you are,
and you clearly don't know who it is I am,
So what's the point of telling you again and again?

So it's down two blocks,
Hang a left at the light,
When you get to Spring Street, make a right, alright?
If you'd make it swift, that'd be so swell
I'm trying to catch 'The Housewives of Beverly Hills.'

Man, your cab could use some T.L.C.
I've no left eye but I don't like what I see (?)
And you know how you said no one rides for free?
Whatcha gonna pay me if I catch your disease?

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I'll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

All these cars put the 'ick' in 'Traffic',
I guess we should talk, so the time will pass quick,
But that doesn't mean I'm giving you a fat tip,
What's you name, bro, you don't look like a Patrick.

Oh, my dad's calling, he gets on my nerves,
Oh, you hadn't seen yours in 15 years?
Or your two kids either, it can't be true
It makes me think twice bout how I treated you.

I got in here and didn't ask how you're doing
Like I'm the only one that's got worries brewing
In my universe, population: one
It's amazing how easily you can be so dumb.

Yes, you haven't walked in my high-heeled shoes
But I know it doesn't mean I should be so rude
Thanks for the ride and good luck to you
Carry on Taxi Man and do what you do

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I'll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

Hey, lady
Step into my taxi
Come into my cabbie
I'll drive you through the city

Hey, lady
Life is getting crazy
Girl, you'll have to trust me
Gonna make it safely

maalesef hayvan terli

buralarda silahı olmayan mı var doktor
iyisi var kötüsü, var bilemessin
gerektiğinde sen de acımayacaksın, çakacaksın alnının ortasına
bizim buralarda böyle doktor, kendi göbeğini kendin kesmek mecburiyetinde kalıyorsun bir yerde
hee, yok, ben kesemem arkadaş diyorsan
iki dakikada alırlar çapını, nerden geldiğini şaşarsın
yok işte öyle
hem şöför yanı olsun
hem cam kenarı olsun
hem de bedava…
maalesef hayvan terli
adamın gözünden sürmeyi çekerler üstüne üstlük bir de seni borçlu çıkarırlar
onu bilir onu söylerim
dairede duracaksın, merkezi kollayacaksın 
haa çember olsa olmaz mı? olur o da olur
fakat yerinde ve zamaninda
yalnız icab ederse vazgeçmeyi de bileceksin
hiçbirimiz dünyaya kazık çakmadık değil mi doktor
Hz. Süleyman; 750 yaşına kadar yaşamış
altın, mücevher 
e dünya ona da kalmamış 
değil mi doktor?







Ya birisi de cikip demiyor ki ``aga sen ne diyon?"

Bu arada Tom Waits hakkinda da bir iki sey soylemeden gecmek istemem: cok enteresan bi adam bence, gerek muzigindeki cesitlilik, gerek sarkilari yapma tarzi ve sarki sozleriyle. En onemlisi de, sarkilarini arka planda dinlemenin mumkun olmamasi. Tam konsantrasyon istiyor sarkilarini dinlemek.

Sarkilarinda nedense "viskiyle iyi gider" havasi var. Allahtan viski icmiyorum, yoksa alkolik olmustum coktan :)

Lyrics:

Hey Charlie I'm pregnant and living on the 9th street
Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid Avenue
And I stopped takin' dope and I quit drinkin' whiskey
And my old man plays the trombone works out at the track

He says that he loves me, though it's not his baby
He says that he'll raise him up like he would his own son
He gave me a ring that was worn by his mother
He takes me out dancin' every Saturday night

Hey Charlie I think about you every time I pass a fillin' station
Account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair
Still have that record, little Anthony and The Imperials
Someone stole my record player now how do you like that?

Hey Charlie I almost went crazy after Mario got busted
I went back to Omaha to live with my folks
Everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison
So came back to Minneapolis this time I think I'm gonna stay

Hey Charlie I think I'm happy for the first time since my accident
I wish I had all the money that we used to spend on dope
Buy me a used car lot wouldn't sell any of 'em
I'd just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel

Hey Charlie for Chris sakes if you want to know the truth of it?
I don't have a husband he don't play the trombone
And I need to borrow money to pay this lawyer
And Charlie, hey I'll be eligible for parole come Valentines day

Ah be Miley

Senin sesin, senin kararin tabi de, keske hep boyle sarkilar soylesen, top ustunde sallanacagina arka bahcelerde takilsan.

Kramer and Ismet Ozel: What do they have in common?

I don't know!

Cosmo Kramer: They're trying to screw with your head. 

Jerry Seinfeld: Now why would a junior high school want to screw with my head?

..
doğruysa bu yargı
bu sonuç
bu çıkarsama
neden peki her şeyi bulandırıyor
ertelenen bir konferans
geç kalkan bir otobüs?
milli şefin treni niçin beyaz?
ruslar neden yürüyorlar berlin'e?
ne saçma! ne budalaca!
dört incil'den yuhanna'yı
tercih edişim niye?

English translation of the poem is by Feyyaz Kayacan. It is not perfect, but you know what they say,

"Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful. "
Yevgeny Yevtushenko


if this verdict,
this conclusion,
this inference is right,
why is it that a conference postponed
or a late coach
muddles everything,
why are the trains of national leaders always white,
why are the russians marching on berlin?

how absurd, how stupid!
of the four bibles why do i choose to follow
the gospel according to john?
