Текст (слова) песни: Henry Rollins - Language



So!
Being a fan of the use of language
Being a fan of English, um
I got this amazing letter from a fella named Boris.
And I wanted to read this to you.
He`s, he`s from um, the Czech Republic.
And I wanted to read you this quick letter by the cat because he`s just amazing. And he wrote one of the greatest sentences I haveve ever read in my life and I very much want to share it with you. And I`m not trying to put the guy down, and I`m not saying `Oh he`s dumb.` He`s just a cat, he`s trying to use English and it`s not his language. You know, but he`s getting by. Like, how well do you get by in Czech? Right. Help?!? You know, you say `Check, please!` But you can`t get by in Czech. This guy`s struggling in English and he`s making it! And he`s, he is, he is avant. He is, he`s bebop! Check this guy out.

This is 8/22/98 12:16 PM, Los Angeles, California
Boris checks in from the Czech Republic with this burning missive:

`Hello Henry,
I`m sorry for my English, but I understand English very little, thank you for your favour. My name is Boris. Have 24 years in right Czech Republic. You played in Czech 2x. Both concerts, they were splendid.`

OK. Check out this sentence.

`On two concert, I`m shootive collective photo but small, fat, bald headed technologist be insane. `

Let`s milk it shall we?

`On two concert, I`m shootive collective photo, but such small, fat, bald headed techologist be insane.`

In translation, I think he took his roll of film to Rite Aid and had a bad Rite Aid experience. And you`ve all had that experience in Thrifty and Rite Aid where time seems to slow down. I think Boris got his film fucked up by the technologist who must be WHOOOOOOO!, a bit insane.

I go on.

`I compilation all material for you and band. I would like to read of your some book, but don`t publish in Czech language. This book should be successful in Czech Republic.`

Sure.

`I you for very much autograph or publicity material or answer in my letter. Thanks a lot for it. I wish for you, band much power, health, and energy at further way music. Goodbye in future concert in Czech Republic. Boris`

The communique from Boris makes me think of how great a feature-length movie with this use of language would be. Could you imagine an intense courtroom drama with scowling, wildly gesticulating lawyers making a case for their clients, kicking it like Boris? Think of having the air flight attendent come on with an "English as a second language" message. `For making landing immediate time incredibly, broken moving not now, stupid motor on flaming. I declaration emergency!`
