"Paris was made for lovers
Paris was made for lovers
Why else would Paris even be there?
The little streets so charming
The mademoiselles desireing
And they're the reason you'll find
me there..."
Michel Legrand
U prošlome postu ste mogli pročitati o Taizeu, a sada dolazim do dijela kada smo u subotu, nešto prije ponoći, spremili stvari, pozdravili se sa svima i uzbuđeni sjeli u autobus. Gotovo polovica Oyaka se skupila na parkiralištu i svi su nam mahali, i jedan zavoj kasnije, Taize se više nije vidio. Vožnjom kroz pitoreskna francuska mjestašca, domogli smo se autoputa (s time da je vozač prije toga pogrešno skrenuo na rotoru, došao na autocestu, pa ponovo na rotor i neku prigradsku cesticu kojom se vozikaju traktori). Vožnja je trajala više-manje šest sati, uz jedno kratko stajanje na autoputu. Kad nas je sam-svoj-majstor voditeljica Sanda
upozorila da ulazimo u Pariz, trgnuo sam se iz sna i gledao van, ne želeći propustiti niti običnu kantu za smeće (kojih i nema baš puno, ali o tome kasnije). Nakon polustane vožnje, došli smo do središta grada. Pariz je u bio začuđujuće prazan, s obzirom da se radi o gradu s pet milijuna stanovnika. Dovezli smo se do Slavoluka pobjede i uspješno smo izbjegli manju prometnu nesreću (već pogađate razlog) da bismo se parkirali pokraj i tako bezveze čekali petnaest minuta (vozači nisu znali slijediti upute GPS-a). Kako je bila subota ujutro, ljudi su se vraćali iz noćnog života, i to 90% posto njih vozi Mini Cabrio, i iako je vani bila noć i pomalo prohladno, svaki cabrio ima spušten krov. Autobus je napokon krenuo, i ostavio nas u vjerovatno najpoznatijoj aveniji na svijetu, Champs Elysees (Elizijske poljane). Dok smo sjedili u busu čekajući konačan plan, promatrao sam ljude kako izlaze iz velikog disca Queen, svi su luksuzno obučeni i ulijetavaju u taksije ili u neke od parkiranih Porschea, Ferrarija i sličnih. Ima i tipičnih pariških zaljubljenih parova koji se ljubakaju na klupicama i stubama za podzemnu, ali i jedan skupo obučeni dečko koji spava na obližnjoj klupi. Kako je bilo prerano da se otvori podzemna, malo smo prošvrljali jednom od najskupljih ulica na svijetu. Ako ste mislili da je to ulica shoppinga i visoke mode, tek ste djelomično u pravu, zato što se svi dizajnerski dućani nalaze u ulici prije (zaboravih kako se zove), a butici po Champs Elysees su međusobno pomiješani, tako da se Louis Vuitton nalazi pokraj Adidasa, a kraj Cartiera možete kupiti kebab. Nakon što se podzemna napokon otvorila, ušli smo unutra, kupili karnete i čekali vlak. Stanica je bila poluprazna, ali je zato pretrpana reklamama i ima par automata za piće. Vlakovi su užasno brzi, a kako su bili poluprazni, mogli smo i sjesti. Samo 15 minuta vožnje kasnije (uz presjedanje) došli smo do znamenite četvrti Montmartre, kolijveke boemske revolucije. I da, tu se nalazi Moulin Rouge, ali nismo ga stigli vidjeti. Inače je Montmartre brdo, što znači puno uspona i stepenica, a nama, tek probuđenima to baš i nije odgovaralo. Tamo možete naći hrpu tipičnih restorančića, bistroa i dućana, ali i pokoju gradsku vilu te hrpe čistača. Kad smo se dovukli do vrha i bazilike Sacre Coueur, odvojili smo 15 minuta sa slikanje, zato što je pogled zbilja fenomenalan i jedna je od stvari koje se nikako nebi smjele propustiti. Bazilika sama po sebi je lijepa, ali i poluprazna, zato što je svećenik nedjeljnu misu držao za nekih 10-15 ljudi. Iznenadili su me i automati za nekakve "medaljone" na ulazu u crkvu, pa je samo pitanje vremena kada će staviti i automate za piće. Stepenicama smo se spustili do podnožja, i šokirala nas je količina smeća u prostoru bazilike, pa smo zaključili da je perivoj ekvivalent našem Rokiću. Nakon obavljanja prirodnih potreba u javnom WC-u koji izgleda kao kakva svemirska kapsula, krenuli smo metroom prema Place de la Concorde, jednom od najvećih trgova na svijetu. Trgom dominira egipatski obelisk star preko 3300 (!) godina i dvije identične fontane, fontane Kraljeva. Nakon kratke šetnje obližnjim parkom, sjeli smo na metro i odvetzli se do slijedeće stanice, Eiffelovog tornja. Sam toranj je onako spektakularan i lijep kakvim sam ga oduvijek zamišljao, a pravu predodžbu o njegovoj veličini možete dobiti tek kada stojite u podnožju. Kako toranj ima četiri postolja, postoje četiri ulaza, i to dvije vrste: lift i stepenice. Liftom ćete doći brže, ali ako dodate čekanje od sat i pol (i to ako nije gužva, a gužva je uvijek) više se isplati ići stepenicama. Do prve razine vodi preko 300 stepenica, u prijevodu, 10 minuta hoda. Prva razina se nalazi na visini od otprilike 50 metara, a pruža jedinstven pogled na cijeli grad, ali i još par stvari. Tako tu možete naći suvenirnicu, minijaturnu kino-dvoranu, muzej o tornju, WC i hrpu prostora za slikanje. Tu se još nalazi i kafić, a cijene su očekivano astronomske (kava je 4 eura, a flaširana voda,isključivo Evian, isto 4 eura.) Kako obožavam kroasane, nisam mogao odoljeti jednom, i bio je najfiniji kojeg sam dosad probao. Do druge razine se ponovno hoda 10-15 minuta, ali kad sam došao gore, vratio sam se na prvu da se malo odomorim, jer sam već bio na izmaku snaga. Inače. na drugoj razini je restoran Jules Verne, jedan od najskupljih na svijetu gdje se treba rezervirati najmanje 12 mjeseci unaprijed. Na trećoj razini, odnosno vrhu tornja je vidikovac, ali se lift treba čekati dva sata.Dok smo čekali ostatak grupe koji je imao živaca (i hrabrosti) za treću razinu, kupio sam suvenire i razglednice i pogledao kratki dokumentarac o tornju. Kada smo se svi skupili, bilo je vrijeme za vožnju brodom po Seini, što je značilo povratak dolje s tornja i onu hrpu stepenica. Ovaj put mi se od silnog hodanja pomalo vrtilo pa sam jedva čekao da siđemo dolje. Vožnja brodom je bila odlična, ali je prekratko trajala. Osim toga, ženska koja nam je bila vodič nije imala pojma o engleskom te sam uspio skužiti samo par riječi od svega što nam je napričala. Iskrcali smo se kraj otočića na Seini na kojem se nalazi katedrala Notre Dame i krenuli smo u razgledavanje Latinske četvrti, onog "tipičnog" Pariza. Kako smo i ovaj put bili podjeljeni u grupe, trebalo je nešto pojesti, a većina moje grupe je navalila na McDonald's, iako sam ja bio protiv. Kad smo stigli do McDonald'sa, shvatili su da ipak nije najjeftinije rješenje, no tad je bilo kasno pa smo se ipak tamo najeli. Latinska četvrt je puna minijaturnih dućana i restorana, ali poštanskog ureda ni za lijek. Kad sam napokon našao jednog, shvatio sam da ne radi nedjeljom pa svi koji ste očekivali razglednice, dobit ćete ih osobno. Kao i na sve ostale znamenitosti, na ulaz u Notre Dame je povelik red, pa smo to razgledavanje preskočili. Louvre smo vidjeli samo izvana, što je i logično, so obzirom na veličinu kompleksa (kao 4-5 Mimari) ali smo prošetali kroz shopping centar ispod Louvrea, luksuzno uređen, ali sa normalnim trgovinama. Šetnjom kroz grad našli smo prvi metro i dovezli se do Place Charles De Gaulle i još jednom bacili pogled na Champs Elysees i Slavoluk dok smo čekali autobus...O putu kući ne želim previše trošiti riječi. Vozač je na slovenskom autoputu vozio 70 na sat (vidio sam!) s time da je kočio u zavojima. Na autoputu. Sa 70 km/h. Nismo se ni trudili govoriti tiho kad smo ga ismijavali. No dobro, evo uživajte u fotkama.

Californication
Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind’s elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It’s Californication
It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging
Chorus:
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It’s Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon’s not far away
It’s Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody’s been there and
I don’t mean on vacation
Chorus
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl’s guitar
They’re just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
From Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you’re craving
Chorus
Under the Bridge
Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
Depeche Mode
Enjoy the Silence
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasure remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Nightwish
Nemo
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass
This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
My flower
Withered between
The pages two and three
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins
Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I'd give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for all
And all for once
Nemo my name for evermore
Nemo my name for evermore
Frank Sinatra
New York,New York
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.

California
We’ve been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing’s gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin’ of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!

Time After Time
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--
sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
Then you say--go slow--
I fall behind--
the second hand unwinds
chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time
after my picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--you're wondering
if I'm OK
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time--
chorus:
if you're lost...
you said go slow--
I fall behind
the second hand unwinds--
chorus:
if you're lost...
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
Tina Turner
Proud Mary
Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.
Chorus:
Big wheel keep on turnin,
Proud mary keep on burnin,
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in memphis,
Pumped a lot of pain down in new orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Chorus
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You dont have to worry cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Chorus
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.
Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river.

Heroes
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will
Drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
And you
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say
I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day
I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
