mekons - hashish in marseilles lyrics

m+rs+ille, july 29th

at 7 o’clock in the evening after long hesitation, i took hashish
with the bsolute certainty, in this city of hundreds of thousands where no one knows me, of not being disturbed i lie on the bed. and yet i am disturbed, by a little child crying. i think three+quarters of an hour have already passed. but it is only twenty minutes…. so i lie on the bed reading and smoking. opposite me always this view of the belly of m+rs+illes. the street i have so often seen is like a knife cut

at last i left the hotel, the effects seeming nonexistent or so weak that the precaution of staying at home was unnecessary. my first port of call was the café on the corner. what now? only a certain benevolence, the expectation of being received kindly by people. the feeling of loneliness is very quickly lost

i thought with immense pride of sitting here in m+rs+illes in a hashish trance; of who else might be sharing my intoxication this evening, how few. of how i was incapable of fearing future misfortune, future solitude, for hashish would always remain

the music from a nearby nightclub that i had been following played a part in this stage. here, while i was in the state of deepest trance, two figures, citizens, vagrants, what do i know? p”all men are brothers.” so began a train of thought that i am no longer able to pursue. but its last link was certainly much less b+n+l than its first and led on perhaps to images of animals

something very beautiful was going on around the door of the dance hall

somewhere over the rainbow
way up high
