Fragments of Noir

Thursday, 4 February 2016

I've been in some big towns

And i heard me some big talk

But there is one thing i know

A woman's a two-face

A worrisome thing

Who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

Blues in the Night

(Arlen/Mercer)

fragments of noir: 'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
