Django!

Django, have you always been alone?

Django!

Django, have you never loved again?
Love will live on, oh oh oh...
Life must go on, oh oh oh...
For you cannot spend your life regretting


Django!

Django, you must face another day

Django!

Django, now your love has gone away
Once you loved her, whoa-oh...
Now you've lost her, whoa-oh-oh-oh...
But you've lost her forever, Django

When there are clouds in the skies, and they are grey
You may be sad but remember they'll all soon pass away

Oh Django!
After the showers, the sun
Will be shining...

Once you loved her, whoa-oh...
Now you've lost her, whoa-oh-oh-oh...
But you've lost her forever, Django

When there are clouds in the skies, and they are grey
You may be sad but remember they'll all soon pass away
Oh Django!
After the showers, the sun
Will be shining...
Django!
Oh oh oh Django!
You must go on
Oh oh oh Django...

Really! Read those lyrics. What the hell does that have to do with any Django movie? And I think that quandary is part of the reason Tarantino is so fascinated with cinema; and his ability to see and hear that weirdo stuff is precisely why he can make such unique cinema.
