Don't De-Rock Me (Tesla)

DON’T DE-ROCK ME

I ain’t no program on your television screen.

They only taught me what they wanted me to be.

Heard all your so-called facts.  Now hit me with the truth.

Takes a lotta nerve the way you played me for the fool.

It’s my personal selection to fly in my own direction.

No time for fuckin’ ‘round with mediocrity.

Takes ev’rything I got just tryin’ to be me.

Life’s like a highway.  We’re all try’n’ to stay on time.

Travel atcha own speed.  You take your lane, I’ll take mine.

Don’t believe all that you hear or half of whatcha see.

‘S’waste o’ time to criticize.  Don’t de-rock me.

Chorus:

Don’t de-rock me.  Don’t de-rock me.

You be you and I’ll be me.  Don’t de-rock me.

"Backstage Betty", banana in her cherry, in the shower down on her knees.

Like to think she’ll own ya if she’ll do all that ya please.

Hurts like a mother bein’ cursed by a punter who’s five sheets to the wind.

Won’t stop at nothin’, claimin’ to be cousin till security lets ‘em in.

Now I’m no symbol of perfection, so why deal with this infection?

Tired of bein’ treated like some piece of property.

Fakes, lies, patronizin’ don’t sit well with me.

Blastin’ down the highway, try’n’ to stay between the lines.

You can get to where you’re go’n’.  Just don’t ignore the signs.

Don’t de-rock me.  Don’t de-rock me.

‘S’waste o’ time to criticize.  Don’t de-rock me.

(Repeat chorus)

Change In the Weather (Tesla)

CHANGE IN THE WEATHER

We’re the younger generation,

and we’re here to face the day.

Heard all across the nation,

and we got so much to say.

Ready for a change,

ready for a change in the weather.   Ooh, yeah!

We will keep the fire burnin’

And this big wheel will keep spinnin’

‘round and ‘round, and around.  Yeah!

We’re the children of the sixties.

Watched the seventies go bye.

Now, we made it through the eighties.

My, my how time does fly

Just around the corner is a brand new century

Now we’ll keep the fire burnin’

And this old world will keep spinnin’

‘round and ‘round, and around.

Yes we’ll keep the fire burnin’

And this old world will keep turnin’

‘round and ‘round, and around.

A-turnin’ ‘round and ‘round, yeah.

I think we’re ready for a change in the weather.

I think we’re ready for a change of scene.

Ready for a change in the weather.

I’m ready for a change for you and me.  Ah yeah, yeah.   Ooh.

Really do, I think we’re ready for a change in the weather.

I think we’re ready for a change of scene.

Ready for a change in the weather.

I’m ready for a change, change, change for you and me. 

I think we’re ready for a change in the weather.

I think we’re ready for a change of scene.

Ready for a change in the weather.

I’m ready for a change for you and me!

Just around the corner, oh, is a brand new century.

I’m waitin’.

I’m ready!

   (We’re ready!)

Yeah!

Can't Stop (Tesla)

CAN’T STOP

Young girl sweet as candy, a-turnin’ hearts to stone.

She’ll catch a young man’s fancy.  A-love ‘em, leave ‘em alone.

I should-a seen it comin’.  She took me for a ride.

Still feel the fire burnin’.  That’s why I can’t...

...Stop.

  [Can’t stop fallin’.] I can’t stop.

  [Can’t stop fallin’.] I can’t stop fallin’ for your love.

  [Can’t stop fallin’.] Ah. I can’t stop.

  [Can’t stop fallin’.] I can’t win.

  [For losin’.] I can’t stop fallin’ for your love.

  [Can’t stop fallin’.] I’m a fool for you.

Lovin’ after midnight, a shadow on the run.

By the time ya realize, the damage has been done.

You better keep your distance, if ya know what’s good for you.

Me, I got no resistance.  And that’s why I can’t... (To Chorus)

Yeah, I’m a fool for you.

I’m a fool for you.  Ow!

Little Miss "Cotton Candy" still turnin’ hearts to stone.

Candy’s fine and dandy, but then, sex don’t rot your teeth

I never seen it comin’.  She took by surprise.

Still feed the fire burnin’.  That’s why I can’t... (To Chorus)

Yeah, I’m a fool for you.  Ooh.

I can’t stop fallin’ for your love.

I can’t stop.  I can’t stop fallin’ for your love.  Oh.  Oh.

또다른 레드 제플린

Led Zeppelin 2
레드 제플린 (Led Zeppelin) 노래 / 워너뮤직(WEA) / 1996년 5월

아마도 레드 제플린처럼 다양한 색깔을 가진 락밴드도 없을 것이다. 첫 앨범에서부터 마지막 앨범까지 다양한 장르의 음악을 완벽한 팀웍으로 소화해 내며 음악사를 선도한 최고의 밴드인 레드 제플린의 두번째 앨범이다.

사실 이 앨범이 음악애호가들에게 얼마나 사랑받고 있는지는 모르겠지만 레드 제플린의 앨범은 어느하나 빼놓을 수 없는 작품성을 가지고 있으며 이 앨범도 예외는 아니다. 메탈의 효시라고도 여겨지는 Whole Lotta Love에서부터 발라드 Thank you까지 자유자재로 자신들의 음악적 천재성을 완벽한 팀웍으로 풀어나간 레드 제플린의 두번째 앨범을 많은 사람들이 사랑하기를 기대한다.

제플린 비행선처럼 장열한 최후를 마친 레드 제플린은 언제나 음악 애호가의 가슴속에서 비행하고 있다.

공헌

경영인의 조건
피터 드러커 지음, 김용국 옮김 / 와이비엠 / 1996년 5월

유능한 경영인들은 또한 조직 내의 사람들, 즉 상사, 부하, 그리고 무엇보다도 다른 분야의 동료들에게 '당신의 조직에 공헌하기 위해서는 내가 당신에게 어떠한 기여를 해야 할 것인가? 언제, 어떻게, 어떤 형태로 기여해야 할 것인가?'라고 질문한다.-84쪽
