Da Da Dali

Dada dali goodbye, dada dali dont sigh
Your soft alarm clocks quake me
So boil your beans and meet me at perignon station
Crutch me dali again, lobster telephone friend
Stay in your seat, watch what you eat
If you dont get a dead mule then youll know Im in heat
Dada dali hello, dada dali youre just another onionhead

Dali was the great painter then and surrealism was a way of life.

It's Frank's painting on the cover. We were originally going to use a Salvador Dali painting that we got permission from Salvador Dali to use, and Frank found this one, and it really did fit the music much more.

Since the blood of the country is eternal and immortal, and because in the same royal artery blows Trajan's triumphal march and in order to be, like him, again and always the first of the human race, I proclaim myself Salvador Dalí, catholic, apostolic, Roman and Romanian.

Dali

High, in Castille,
Lives senora Dali alone.
And higher still
She keeps her gallery.
Distance means nothing to me.
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over,
Ferry me over
The music, Dali.
Deeper here lies hidden answers and treasures for him.
"Oh, I prefer absence," said she,
"My heart grows fonder alone."
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo,
A-ee-aha-ee-aha-oo...
Debris everywhere,
Gazing. It's amazing.

Dali had a good sense of humor - obviously you could tell just looking at him; he was funny.

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.

Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

Dali is like a man who hesitates between talent and genius, or, as one might once have said, between vice and virtue.

Did You On That Day When The Sky Cut

Did you on that day when the sky cut
Stood fearfully beyond the earth of Void
A voiceless thought to spill
With the light the lightning when you
Touched the Heights
Did you on that day with the scream in a key
Unlock yourself at the gate of your Brother

Dali si onog dana kada je rasporeno nebo
Stajalo strašno nad zemljom Praznine
Da prospe iz sebe misao bez glasa
Svjetlom munjom spržen kad si
Dotako Visine
Dali si tog dana s urlikom u kljucu
Otključao sebe na kapiji Brata

Said Dali: We're held in esteem
As a family... a musical team.
My Mum waxed so lyrical
Dad sang a miracle
And I was the young TAMBOreen.

I will be brief. Not nearly so brief as Salvador Dali, who gave the world's shortest speech. He said I will be so brief I have already finished, and he sat down.

I used to hang out with Salvador Dali a lot. He was such a nice man. I really liked his wife Gala, too. People say that she was tricky, but she was never difficult with me.

My Utopia ~*~ Pantoum ~*~

A slumber did my spirit seal
In the dark recesses of my mind;
To a planet far more surreal
Where a Dali clock tells the time.

In the dark recesses of my mind
I’ve built an oasis within my isolation;
Where a Dali clock tells the time
Melting eagerly in each idyllic hallucination.

I’ve built an oasis within my isolation
My mind’s eye has limitless space;
Melting eagerly in each idyllic hallucination
Until I’ve forgotten my own face.

My mind’s eye has limitless space
Imagination will take me far from this cell;
Until I’ve forgotten my own face
I float far above my body’s shell.

Pagsalop Sa Adlaw Sa Katipunan

Gihakop ni Dante ang larawan sa pagsalop sa adlaw
Diri sa among gamay nga lungsod. Unsa ba
Ang iyang buot ipasabot- ang adlaw iya mang'
Gibutang sa tumoy sa guba nga pantalan?
Dili man unta siya kabalong manigarilyo apan
Ang pagsalop sa adlaw sa Katipunan nahimo namang
Usa ka tumoy sa posporo nga hapit na nga mapalong.
Nahuman na ang pagdilaab. Hapon na gyod diay.
Mitaob ang dagat. Mikusog ang hangin. Mitaligsik.
Midalugdog ug mikilat dapit sa kalubihan.
Ug sa kahadlok sa mga panganod, nanago sila
Didto sa likod sa tampi. Giusikan ko. Wala nako
Makita ang pagdilaab sa gugma niining dapita.
Ang akong naabtan mao lamang ang kagubot
Sa mga balod ug ang dayong pagkamatay
Sa adlaw. Dali-dali ang paglubong niini,
Wala gani'y pag-novena, wala'y pagpangadye.

But Walt and him shared the same kind of optimism. Walt believed in himself, and he was optimistic about what he wanted to do. He just knew it will be okay, and Dali was the same way. They had a great deal in common that way.
