I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far / I only wanted a little bit of love so I could put a little love in my heart / I never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties ‘avec le bourgeois’ / I only wanted to sing my song well so I could ring a small bell in your heart

My brother had visited the mosque in Jerusalem, and was greatly impressed that while on the one hand it throbbed with life.
