Lifting the mask from from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trial of the people there
Who's to care if they lose.
And take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town.
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes
A sign of the times today
And hearing no bell from a steeple tall
People all in dismay
Falling so far on a silver spoon
Making the moon for fun
And changing a rope for a size too small
People all get hung.
Take a look and see me coming through
For I am the parasite who travels two by two.
When lifting the mask from a local clown
And feeling down like him
And I'm seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin
And I'm sailing downstair to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose.
And take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town.
And take a look you may see me in the dirt
For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt.
The lyrics PARASITE of NICK DRAKE is also present in the album Pink moon (1972)
Nicholas Rodney Drake, noto come Nick Drake, è stato un cantautore e chitarrista inglese nato nel 1948. La sua musica, caratterizzata da melodie malinconiche e testi introspettivi, si inserisce principalmente nel genere folk-rock. Drake ha pubblicato tre album in studio durante la sua breve carriera: *Five Leaves Left* (1969), *Bryter Layter* (1970) e *Pink Moon* (1972). Nonostante un'iniziale mancanza di successo commerciale, il suo lavoro è stato riscoperto negli anni '80, diventando oggetto di culto tra appassionati di musica indie e folk. Drake è ricordato per la sua sensibilità poetica, la raffinata tecnica chitarristica e l'atmosfera introversa che permea le sue canzoni. Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono *Pink Moon*, *Northern Sky* e *Cello Song*. La sua vita fu segnata da una profonda malinconia e da un senso di alienazione, che si riflette nella sua musica. Drake morì nel 1974 all'età di soli 26 anni a causa di un'overdose accidentale di barbiturici.
