Dick Laurentdas ist aber eine komplett andere Herangehensweise und deutlich „wertender“ als Morrisseys Song, der sich nach meinem Verständnis eines Kommentars enthält. Wenn du allerdings hinter jedem dir nicht genehmen Kommentar gleich Zynismus vermutest, dann ist das wirklich Schade.
kramerRichtig. Morrissey bezieht äusserst selten deutlich Position in seinen Songs. Er kommt nie mit Holzhammer-Moral und dafür schätze ich ihn ungemein. Auch die Darstellung des „David“ in dem Song ist mir viel sympathischer, weil menschlicher und realistischer als in den üblichen deutschen „Nazis sind doof“ Songs.
Zum Thema „klare Ansage“ hier mal der Text von „Why“ von den Specials.
Why did you try to hurt me?
I got to know
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me whyWhy do we have to fight?
Why must we fight?
I have to defend myself
From attack last nightI know I am black
You know you are white
I’m proud of my black skin
And you are proud of your white, soWhy did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me whyWe don’t need no British Movement
Nor the Ku Klux Klan
Nor the National Front
It makes me an angry manI just want to live in peace
Why can’t you be the same?
Why should I live in fear?
This fussing and fighting’s insaneWith a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
Cos‘ we can’t take no more of this at all
Cos‘ we can’t take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me whyYou’re too scared to make a speech during the light
Without a thousand police protecting your rights
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight
But who will protect me from you in the night?Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really want to kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me whyWith a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
