Hommage à Nick Hornby...Tribute To Nick Hornby's novel : "How to be good"
NICKY

How to be good /How to do right
We all know life’s hard to bear sometimes
Did you feel good /Did you feel right
Don’t you think we were in hell last night?

And so Nicky told me
Answers aren’t so easy
good is a spiderweb
for little men like me
Good fellows nice chaps
Feel ashamed  and sophists 
May be not the right activists

 2  How did you feel 
When you cheated on me
Were you sorry
 I  felt guilty
Take a deep breath
Try to move on
Life’s so easy to bear 
Let’s see what’s going on

 3 I’m not so callous
And you’re not mean of course
Our confessions
aren’t the only option
Selfish or kind
I really don’t mind
Strong and fair
That’s what I really care

How to be good /How to do right
We all know life’s hard to bear sometimes

This is a song about a love affair that sparked in Chattanooga, Tennessee, between a Canadian and an American.  Our countries are much the same.

CHATTANOOGA
(c) JunkHeap Jul 15 2025

I'm going to Chattanooga, gonna get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to clear my brain.
I'm going to Chattanooga, I gotta get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to take a break.

Look by the river, I'll be waiting.
The Tennessee is patient.
Flowing and ancient.

She sat down beside me and kissed me so gently,
sittin' by the water.
Man you can't get better than this.

We knew I had to leave,
the distance between us would grow.
The usual life responsibilities,
but I so wanted to come back to your soul.
  
I know I'm empty, your love fills me up.
Standing on Lookout mountain,
holding hands and feeling the moment.
I don't want to go back north,
and it's tough.

When I don't have you beside me,
I can't take it anymore.
I pack my bags and tell those around me...

I'm going to Chattanooga, gonna get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to clear my brain.
I'm going to Chattanooga, I gotta get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to take a break.

I don't want to say that I Iove you, but I do.
in this short time it's true.
what can I say, I miss you when you go.
Maybe you feel the same way,
lets drop the game and tell the truth.

I'm going to Chattanooga, gonna get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to clear my brain.
I'm going to Chattanooga, I gotta get away.
I'm going to Chattanooga just to take a break.

1085 Ballad

Jeg leter etter lyden av å være. Og derfor er ikke alltid musikk, i betydningen melodi, det sentrale. Kanskje mer en tilnærming til noe. Enkelt er det jo ikke. Men veldig meningsfullt.
