Where Have All The Cowboys Gone (Windows)

Most of you have heard this song. You know, Where Have All the Cowboys Gone is the name of a song by Paula Cole.
Basically, it´s about a woman who for all her life dreamed of being a cowboy’s wife. One day she does indeed marry one of these “cowboys”. But over the years she discovers her dream man doesn’t live up to her expectations, and finds herself an unhappy housewife, asking to the heavens where all the cowboys went.
Here I tried to put the song into another context, another culture; perhaps, closer to the universe that surrounds me everyday. Cause I think the essence of this song perfectly fits everywhere, all the time.

And here are the lyrics:

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone

Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy
Why dont we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills

Chorus:

Where is my john wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone

Why dont you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the tv
And Ill fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills

Chorus

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you dont even notice me
Say our goodbyes (3 times)

We finally sold the chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Where is my john wayne
Where is my prairie son
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone
Where is my marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee aw, yippee yea (3 times)

    It reminds me of a curio box..each compartment representing a different aspect of her life. The splashes of colour work well against the monocrome!

    La imagineria que se vuelve hacia mí es fantástica.
    Paso horas mirando por la ventana..
    siempre la misma calle…
    buscando el reflejo,
    del reflejo.
    Ella hace lo mismo..
    con la particularidad de que..
    son las ventanas las que miran también..
    a la calle….del olvido.
    Me llama la,atención la corona de “espinas” que luce en la cabeza,
    cómo si fuera un Cristo bajado de su Cruz.
    que ha sentido su alma femenina fusionada a su Divinidad maltrecha
    Rosa (preciosa textura….feminidad profunda, patinada por la historia del Hombre)
