Take my hand

2008-01-08T21:04:00.000+01:00

Touch my skin, and tell me what you’re thinking
Take my hand and show me where we’re going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes and tell me, oh tell me what you’re seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you

See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I’m telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart and show me, show me what you’re doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you’re feeling
What you feel now is what I feel for you

Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you
I know you’ll find that you believe me
You believe me

Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you’re thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes
Take my hand and if I’m lying to you
I’ll always be alone
If I’m lying to you
Take your time, if I’m lying to you
I know you’ll find that you believe me
You believe me

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home, Broken home
Black-eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal

Love is blindness

2008-01-04T20:08:00.000+01:00

Love is blindness
I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love

(Love is blindness - U2)

Vanity Fair

2008-01-02T20:39:00.000+01:00

My, oh my, little girl, you should give just what you can.
To the world, to your sisters, to those arms of a loving man,
To your bliss, to your future, to your memories and prayers,
Cos it's cold and it's changing, yeah, this place called
Vanity Fair.

My, oh my, little brother, can I look you in the eye,
Do you know what you're saying is a half remember lie?
Handed down, half forgotten, re-believed and upside down,
Are you sure that you get it now you live in Vanity Town?

Vanity Fair, where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

Oh father, oh father, you said nothing of this fate.
Now you smile as you sit there and pretend it's not too late.
I said why could you not tell me what it was that I would find.
Bt it's alright, I forgive you cos I know how you lost your mind.

Vanity Fair where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

Oh now what will we suffer? To what fate will we be forced?
On this path was there no other way we could have got it worse?
Yes I see it now a pageanry that comes to Vanity fair,
But I'm sad to say it came too late, and now I just don't care about

Vanity Fair, where all you gotta do is stare.
Plus you got to play unfair.
So baby lighten up your hair.
Come to Vanity Town.
Vanity Town.

I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you
Hold your head up, movin' on

We concede

Ricordi

2007-12-07T09:39:00.000+01:00

A me ricordi il mare
e non per le vacanze
che abbiamo fatto insieme
Ma per il tuo ondeggiare
tra il gesto di chi afferra
e quello di chi si trattiene
Ci sono validi motivi per cui dovrei evitare di dirtelo
ma dal momento che mi scrivi dirò
che l'ho capito da subito
perché sei?
perché sei tu che quando arrivi sorridi
e a me mi gira benissimo
e sempre tu che se decidi ti giri
e mi pugnali in un attimo
così succede che mi pare che va bene
e invece non va
e se migliora allora peggiorerà
oppure
sono sicuro che va male arrivo di là
e te lo dico tu mi dici "ma va"?
e ancora
a me succede che va bene
e invece non va
e se migliora allora peggiorerà
oppure
sono sicuro che va male arrivo di là
e te lo dico tu mi dici "ti va"?
ma io così non vado avanti
Mi ricordi il mare
non per i riflessi
per il sugo andato a male
il qualunquismo dei discorsi
sotto l'ombrellone
il sudoku che non torna
e quello che era scritto a penna
è già da cancellare
è come l'amore
va di tasca in tasca come l'accendino vuole
ti ritorna quando non hai niente da appicciare
se escludiamo il poco che rimane
ancora ancora ancora
Baci, baci ed abbracci
che diventano lacci
e più diventano stretti
più nascondono impicci
come un cane ti accucci
sui tuoi poveri stracci
e piano piano vai giù
come un programma di Socci
piano piano vai giù
ma poco dopo risorgi
solo che non ti accorgi
dei sorrisi posticci
dei pensieri che scacci
delle cose che lasci
per banali capricci
Mi ricordi il mare
Non per gli ombrelloni
Per la fila in tangenziale
Il malfunzionamento del mio condizionatore
la discesa libera sui sassi senza aver le scarpe
per fare i fricchettoni
Questo è un po' il sapore
del tutto compreso
inclusa la consumazione
io l'ho già bevuta
eppure ho ancora troppa sete
soprattutto quando tu mi uccidi
ancora ancora
Quello di chi si trattiene
a me ricordi il mare
e non per le vacanze
che abbiamo fatto insieme
ma per il tuo ondeggiare
tra il gesto di chi afferra
e quello di chi si trattiene

I just don't know what to do with myself

2007-12-04T11:17:00.000+01:00

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
movies only make me sad
parties make me feel as bad
cause I'm not with you
I just don't know what to do

like a summer rose
needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love
to beat love away

well I don't know what to do with myself
just don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through

to beat love away

High

2007-11-26T18:37:00.000+01:00

Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

She's in fashion

2007-11-15T14:08:00.000+01:00

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
And she's the colour of a magazine

And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh
And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh

She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine

Ah Ah
And if she tells you two is one
Then two is one my love
Ah Ah
And if she tells you you should know
Then you should know my love

She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of the gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette

The sunshine will blow my mind
And the wind blows my brain

(She's in fashion - Suede)

Nine million bicycles

2007-11-12T08:44:00.000+01:00

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!

Somewhere only we know

2007-11-07T09:39:00.000+01:00

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?

Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.

So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know

Running Up

2007-11-05T08:08:00.000+01:00

It doesn't hurt me.
You want to feel, how it feels?
You want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You want to hear about the deal I'm making.
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
Get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There's a thunder in our hearts, baby

So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me (If I only could, be running up that hill)
You and me, won't be unhappy

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could

Come on, baby, come on, come on, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
Come on angel, come on, come on, darling,
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could, be running up that hill

Non sei (la) sola

2007-10-25T10:40:00.000+02:00

Come il fuoco ridà i contorni del buio come corda che lega ma non stringe più un incontro rapito che fa straripare la mia mente brividi e passioni assolvono le colpe che ho, non andare via rimani qui sta notte non parlare più so cosa pensi.

Non sei sola, cerca dentro te c'è calore come lo vorrei non sei sola sotto la cenere si sta svegliando quel calore ci scotterà

Te sienti a sula ma nu si sula guarda de intra a tie e poi hai bessire sincera, nu stai a sula nu te sentire sula camina a 'nanzi a mie nu fa' passa' sta sira ca ncete nu calore comu quiddhru ca ulia moi sutta la cinere focu ca ne scarfa se tie oi icinu a mie ieu e tie quai tutti e ddoi nu te sentire sula chiamame' nu me n'au chiui.

Non sei sola....

Comu la rocia te lu fuecu ne consumamu ardennu lu core e li pensieri ca tenimu, scarfannu lu tiempu te la notte ca passa chianu chianu l'ecchi su la luce cu ni capimu. E nu c'e' chiu' buju cu ne scunnimu quiddhri ca simu quannu tutti e doi ne amamu te le paure ca tenimu ne spujamu cussi' insieme stu tiempu lu vivimu buenu.

Ca la passione è forte ca ne face mpaccire puru quannu tra nui le cose nu stannu a scire, emozioni ca a parole nu se potenu spiegare se stamu insieme se potenu capire, usandu stu momentu per l'amore facimu te sta notte na notte speciale usandu stu momentu per l'amore uniti intra na sula cosa cu piacere.

Non sei sola...

Cercame intra lu core ca stau sempre a ddhrai cu cercu calore, quiddhru ca sulamente tie me sai tare quiddhru ca finelmente m' ha fattu capire ca nuddhra distanza ne po' separare, ca se chiutu l'ecchi gia' te possu tuccare e sentu ce provi e ce pueti pensare quannu stai sula cercame intra lu core

Non sei sola....

Pensi di essere sola ma una luce t'illumina il cuore ti dà la forza quando pensi di non poterlo fare scopri di avere un sentimento che come un vento ti trascina via....

E il tessitore chiese: "Parlaci dei Vestiti".
Ed egli rispose:
"I vestiti coprono gran parte della vostra bellezza, eppure non nascondono ciò che non è bello.
E benchè cerchiate nei vestiti un'intima libertà, potreste trovare in essi briglie e catene.
Vorrei che voi incontraste il sole e il vento più con la pelle e meno sul vestito,
Perché il soffio della vita è nella luce del sole, e la mano della vita sta nel vento.

Alcuni di voi dicono: "E' il vento del nord che ha tessuto i vestiti che portiamo".
E io vi dico, si, che è stato il vento del nord,
Ma la vergogna è stato il suo telaio e la mollezza la sua trama.
E, quando fu compiuta la fatica, il vento allora rise in mezzo alla foresta.
E non dimenticate che il pudore è uno scudo contro lo sguardo dell'impuro.
E, quando l'impuro sparirà, cosa mai sarà il pudore se non un vincolo che impiglia la mente?
E non dimenticate che la terra ama sentire il vostro piede nudo e il soffio del vento gode a giocare con i capelli".

La sola chiave

2007-10-19T10:05:00.000+02:00

Ora lo sai cosa farò
Mentre pian piano annodo stretta la mia anima
In questo momento non mi arrenderò
Forse è un inutile spiraglio ma non resta che scegliere
E lentamente io rivedrò
Come fotografie da un album da dividere
Torto o ragione non esiterà
A vivere ancora di quel sogno che già sembra impossibile

Capirai, nel silenzio dell'anima
Tutto il senso di questa mia favola
Anche se tu dimenticherai
Sarà l'unica storia fantastica ma irraggiungibile senza di te
Un giorno sai ti penserò
Non passa in fretta il vuoto delle solitudine
Vago nel tempo mi chiederò
Se è solo il segno di un amore che non lascia da vivere

Quando arrivi sei la mia musica
Non esiste più la noia della città
Rendi l'atmosfera più magica
Sei la sola chiave per uscire da qua
Non mi divido da te ma non mi legherei io sarò su una nuvola
E quando ritornerò giù ti colorerò l'anima
I tuoi occhi grandi come il giorno

Il tuo profumo lungo come il tempo
Le tue lacrime senza casa
Le tue arie da fata infinita
Sembra impossibile lasciarmi dietro quello che
Inconfondibile il tuo sguardo perso dentro me
Oltre ogni limite mi hai preso senza alcun perchè
Con questa storia che sarà l'unica senza di te.

(Senza di te - Roy Paci ft. Aretuska)

Spying Glass

You live in the city
You stay by yourself
You are invite all weakness
Still some people they brand you ya
Just because you are rasta
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You invite all company
When you check it in the new spying glass
They want to know all your business

You live in the city
You mind your own business
What you see you don't see
But some people they always see
They never mind their own business
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You think you're far from the weak
When you check it in your spying glass
They want to know rasta business

Spying Glass!
Spying Glass!
Yeah

Atom and cell

2007-10-03T15:35:00.000+02:00

Her skin was darker than ashes
And she had something to say
Bout being naked to the elements
At the end of yet another day
And the rain on her back that continued to fall
From the bruise of her lips
Swollen, fragile, and small

And the bills that you paid with were worth nothing at all
A lost foreign currency
Multi-coloured, barely reputable
Like the grasses that blew in the warm summer breeze
Well she offered you this to do as you pleased

And where is the poetry?
Didn’t she promise us poetry?

The redwoods, the deserts, the tropical ease
The swamps and the prairie dogs, the Joshua trees
The long straight highways from dirt road to tar
Hitching your wheels to truck, bus, or car

And the lives that you hold in the palm of your hand
You toss them aside small and damn near unbreakable
You drank all the water and you pissed yourself dry
Then you fell to your knees and proceeded to cry

And who could feel sorry for a drunkard like this
In a democracy of dunces with a parasites kiss?

And where are the stars?
Didn’t she promise us stars?

Nothing will ever be as it was
The price has been paid with a thousand loose shoes
Pictures are pasted on shop windows and walls
Like a poor mans Boltanski
Lost one and all.

Sell, sell
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell,
Sell,
Bid your farewell
Come, come
Save yourself
Give yourself over
Pushing your consciousness
Deep into every atom and cell

I found the way

By the sound of your voice
So many things to say
But these are only words
Now I've only words
Once there was a choice

Did I give you much?
Well, you gave me things
You gave me stars to hold
Songs to sing
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun Earthbound
Starblind Tied to someone

Why didn't I stay?
Why couldn't I?
So many lives to cross
Well I just had to leave
There goes everything
Everything

Can I meet you there?
God knows the place
And I'll touch your hand
Kiss your face

We only want to be loved
We only want to be loved
I only want to be loved

And I hurt and I hurt
And the damage is done
You gave me songs to sing
Shadow and sun Earthbound
starblind Tied to someone

Speed of light

2007-09-20T09:29:00.000+02:00

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light,
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up.

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
While others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant,
Some things you can invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh-ooh

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand.

Love is a losing game

2007-09-17T16:42:00.000+02:00

For you I was a flame,
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came,
Love is losing game

One I wish I never played,
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band,
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand,
Love is a losing hand

Self professed profound
Til' the chips were down
Know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Tho' I battled blind,
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind,
Love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds,
And laughed at by the Gods
And now the final frame,
Love is a losing game
