Beat Hotel - Stockfisch Records[00:00:00]

Paris nineteen fifty six[00:00:24]

Number nine rue Git le Coeur[00:00:26]

Word is out and everybody's[00:00:29]

Beating on the door[00:00:31]

Madame Rachou will let you in[00:00:33]

Just smile and ring the bell[00:00:36]

Welcome to Nirvana[00:00:38]

At the Beat hotel[00:00:42]

The sweet smell of pernod[00:00:49]

A gauloise cigarette[00:00:51]

It's a cosmic congregation[00:00:53]

But you ain't seen nothing yet[00:00:55]

It's an open invitation[00:00:58]

An existential clientele[00:01:00]

All looking for Nirvana[00:01:03]

At the Beat hotel[00:01:06]

They looked for it in New York City[00:01:13]

And San Francisco Bay[00:01:15]

They looked for in bebop jazz[00:01:18]

And it blew them all away[00:01:20]

They tried out every avenue[00:01:22]

And then said what the hell[00:01:25]

We'll look for it in Paris[00:01:27]

At the Beat hotel[00:01:31]

Burroughs came up from tangiers[00:01:37]

Ginsberg from New York[00:01:39]

Kerouac came up from Italy[00:01:42]

And slept out in the park[00:01:44]

Gregory Corso came and went[00:01:46]

And where he's at no one can tell[00:01:49]

He's still looking for Nirvana[00:01:51]

At the Beat hotel[00:01:55]

Take me to your leader[00:02:01]

Take me to the man[00:02:03]

Someone has got the answer[00:02:06]

Someone's got the perfect plan[00:02:08]

If you're looking in the alleys[00:02:10]

If you're looking in the bars[00:02:13]

You'll find us in the gutter[00:02:15]

Looking at the stars[00:02:19]

This ragged band of poets[00:02:30]

Christians Buddhists Jews[00:02:32]

A new beat generation[00:02:34]

Searching for the muse[00:02:37]

Some found it in the arms[00:02:39]

Of a mystic mademoiselle[00:02:41]

Looking for Nirvana[00:02:44]

At the Beat hotel[00:02:48]

The rooms count up to forty one[00:02:54]

But you can sleep out in the hall[00:02:56]

For a few centimes you can get a drink[00:02:58]

And write your poems on the wall[00:03:00]

And the m*******a mixes[00:03:03]

With the tukish toilet smell[00:03:05]

It's all part of Nirvana[00:03:08]

At the Beat hotel[00:03:11]

Alex Campbell strums an old guitar[00:03:17]

Someone picked up in spain[00:03:20]

Ginsberg's howling poetry[00:03:22]

And kerouac's drunk again[00:03:24]

The rent is overdue[00:03:27]

There must be something they can sell[00:03:29]

Maybe they can sell Nirvana[00:03:32]

At the Beat hotel[00:03:35]

Someone's taking photographs[00:03:41]

Janine takes off her clothes[00:03:44]

Marlene's meditating[00:03:46]

And concentrating on her toes[00:03:48]

Jasmine hides in room sixteen[00:03:51]

And curls up in her shell[00:03:53]

She's communing with Nirvana[00:03:55]

At the Beat hotel[00:03:59]

Take me to your leader[00:04:05]

Take me to the man[00:04:07]

Someone has got the answer[00:04:09]

Someone's got the perfect plan[00:04:12]

If you're looking in the alleys[00:04:14]

If you're looking in the bars[00:04:16]

You'll find us in the gutter[00:04:19]

Looking at the stars[00:04:23]

They did it for the journey[00:04:33]

And not for getting there[00:04:35]

Fame is in a whisper[00:04:38]

When you pay the taxi fare[00:04:40]

It's just this side of heaven[00:04:42]

And a long long way from hell[00:04:45]

It's somewhere in Nirvana[00:04:47]

At the Beat hotel[00:04:51]

Nothing lasts forever[00:04:57]

And forever's in a rhyme[00:04:59]

It's a Buddha like connection[00:05:01]

And everybody has their time[00:05:03]

If you want to drink the water[00:05:06]

You've got to dig into the well[00:05:08]

Maybe then you'll find Nirvana[00:05:10]

At the Beat hotel[00:05:14]

It was over by nineteen sixty three[00:05:20]

And everyone had gone[00:05:22]

But they'd opened up the road[00:05:25]

And the revolution was getting won[00:05:26]

When the poems were painted over[00:05:29]

And they rang the final bell[00:05:32]

It was goodbye to Nirvana[00:05:34]

At the Beat hotel[00:05:38]

The myth is stronger than the truth[00:05:44]

And truth can sometimes lie[00:05:46]

To see it all for what it was[00:05:48]

You need an uncorrupted eye[00:05:50]

Was the journey worth it[00:05:53]

Only time will tell[00:05:56]

Still looking for Nirvana[00:05:57]

At the Beat hotel[00:06:01]

Take me to your leader[00:06:07]

Take me to the man[00:06:09]

Someone has got the answer[00:06:11]

Someone's got the perfect plan[00:06:13]

If you're looking in the alleys[00:06:16]

If you're looking in the bars[00:06:18]

You'll find us in the gutter[00:06:20]

Looking at the stars[00:06:25]

Looking at the stars[00:06:29]

We're looking at the stars[00:06:34]
