たけのこ苦くてシナモンガール

筍をもらった。

皮を剥いたら鉛筆みたいに細くなった。適当な大きさに刻んでフライパンで炒めて食べた。

苦かった。青臭かった。

食えたもんじゃなく、まずくて捨てた。

なんでも、「あく抜き」という作業が必要 だったらしい。自分の無知を呪った。

悲しかった。だって筍は好物だから。

あまりに悲しくて歌った、シナモンガール。

Cinnamon Girl (words and music by Neil Young)

「cinnamon girl 」

I wanna live with a cinnamon girl

I could be happy the rest of my life

With a cinnamon girl.



A dreamer of pictures I run in the night 

You see us together, chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.



Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow

The drummer relaxes and waits between shows

For his cinnamon girl.



A dreamer of pictures I run in the night

You see us together, chasing the moonlight,

My cinnamon girl.



Pa sent me money now 

I'm gonna make it somehow

I need another chance

You see your baby loves to dance

Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Hey Hey, My My (words and music by Neil Young)

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the story of johnny rotten?
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
