GENESIS

( LAND OF CONFUSION )

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams

Been haunted by a million screams

But I can hear the marching feet

They're moving into the street

Now did you read the news today

They say the danger's gone away

But I can see the fire's still alight

There burning into the night

( CHORUS - I ) Too many men, too many people

Making too many problems

And not much love to go round

Can't you see

This is a Land of Confusion

( CHORUS - II ) This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth living in

Ooh superman where are you now

Everything's gone wrong somehow

The men of steel, men of power

Are losing control by the hour

This is the time, this is the place

So we look for the future

But there's not much love to go round

Tell me why this is the Land of Confusion

( CHORUS - II )

I remember long ago

Oh when the sun was shining

And the stars were bright all the night

And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight

So  long ago

I won't be coming home tonight

My generation will put it right

We're not just making promises

That we know we'll never keep

( CHORUS - I )

...

This is the world we live in

And these are the hands we're given

Use them and let's start trying

To make it a place worth fighting for

This is the world we live

And these are the names we're given

Stand up and let's start showing

Just where our lives are going to

ORSON WELLES / QUOTES / POST BY JORGE LUIZ DE OLIVEIRA

 INTRODUÇÃO POR: JORGE LUIZ DE OLIVEIRA.

- Aos cinéfilos, segue este Post especial dotado de citações geniais do cineasta estadunidense: George Orson Welles ( 1915 - 1985 ). Deixei as citações no original com o intuito de não haver perdas quanto à força semântica dos pensamentos de Orson Welles.

"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet." - GEORGE ORSON WELLES.

"My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people." - ORSON WELLES.

"I have a great love and respect for religion, great love and respect for atheism. What I hate is agnosticism, people who do not choose." - ORSON WELLES.

"The enemy of art is the absence of limitations." - ORSON WELLES.

"Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me." - ORSON WELLES.

"Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason." - ORSON WELLES.

"A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong." - GEORGE ORSON WELLES.
