Beat Hotel - Allan Taylor[00:00:00]
Paris nineteen fifty-six[00:00:22]
Number nine rue Git le Coeur[00:00:24]
Word is out and everybody's beating on the door[00:00:28]
Madame Rachou will let you in[00:00:32]
Just smile and ring the bell[00:00:34]
Welcome to Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:00:37]
The sweet smell of Pernod[00:00:47]
A Gauloise cigarette[00:00:49]
It's a cosmic congregation but you ain't seen nothing yet[00:00:51]
It's an open invitation[00:00:56]
An existential clientele[00:00:59]
All looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:01:01]
They looked for it in New York City and San Francisco Bay[00:01:11]
They looked for in bebop jazz and it blew them all away[00:01:16]
They tried out every avenue and then said[00:01:21]
What the hell[00:01:24]
We'll look for it in Paris at the Beat hotel[00:01:26]
Burroughs came up from Tangiers[00:01:36]
Ginsberg from New York[00:01:38]
Kerouac came up from Italy[00:01:40]
And slept out in the park[00:01:43]
Gregory Corso came and went[00:01:45]
And where he's at no one can tell[00:01:47]
He's still looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:01:50]
Take me to your leader[00:02:00]
Take me to the man[00:02:02]
Someone has got the answer[00:02:04]
Someone's got the perfect plan[00:02:06]
If you're looking in the alleys[00:02:09]
If you're looking in the bars[00:02:11]
You'll find us in the gutter[00:02:14]
Looking at the stars[00:02:18]
This ragged band of poets Christians Buddhists Jews[00:02:28]
A new beat generation searching for the Muse[00:02:33]
Some found it in the arms of a mystic mademoiselle[00:02:38]
Looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:02:43]
The rooms count up to forty-one[00:02:52]
But you can sleep out in the hall[00:02:54]
For a few centimes you can get[00:02:57]
A drink and write your poems on the wall[00:02:58]
And the marijuana mixes with the Tukish toilet smell[00:03:01]
It's all part of Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:03:06]
Alex Campbell strums an old guitar someone picked up in Spain[00:03:16]
Ginsberg's howling poetry and Kerouac's drunk again[00:03:21]
The rent is overdue there must be something they can sell[00:03:26]
Maybe they can sell Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:03:31]
Someone's taking photographs[00:03:40]
Janine takes off her clothes[00:03:42]
Marlene's meditating and concentrating on her toes[00:03:45]
Jasmine hides in room sixteen and curls up in her shell[00:03:50]
She's communing with Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:03:54]
Take me to your leader[00:04:04]
Take me to the man[00:04:06]
Someone has got the answer someone's got the perfect plan[00:04:08]
If you're looking in the alleys[00:04:13]
If you're looking in the bars[00:04:15]
You'll find us in the gutter[00:04:17]
Looking at the stars[00:04:21]
They did it for the journey and not for getting there[00:04:32]
Fame is in a whisper when you pay the taxi fare[00:04:36]
It's just this side of[00:04:41]
Heaven and a long long way from hell[00:04:42]
It's somewhere in Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:04:46]
Nothing lasts forever and forever's in a rhyme[00:04:55]
It's a Buddha-like connection[00:05:00]
And everybody has their time[00:05:02]
If you want to drink the[00:05:04]
Water you've got to dig into the well[00:05:05]
Maybe then you'll find Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:05:09]
It was over by nineteen sixty-three and everyone had gone[00:05:19]
But they'd opened up the road and the revolution was getting won[00:05:23]
When the poems were painted over and they rang the final bell[00:05:28]
It was goodbye to Nirvana at the Beat hotel[00:05:33]
The myth is stronger than the truth[00:05:43]
And truth can sometimes lie[00:05:45]
To see it all for what[00:05:47]
It was you need an uncorrupted eye[00:05:48]
Was the journey worth it[00:05:52]
Only time will tell[00:05:54]
Still looking for Nirvana[00:05:56]
At the Beat hotel[00:06:00]
Take me to your leader[00:06:06]
Take me to the man[00:06:08]
Someone has got the answer[00:06:10]
Someone's got the perfect plan[00:06:12]
If you're looking in the alleys[00:06:15]
If you're looking in the bars[00:06:17]
You'll find us in the gutter[00:06:19]
Looking at the stars[00:06:23]
Looking at the stars[00:06:28]
We're looking at the stars[00:06:32]
