The
things you don't say
(Le cose che non dici)
I'd like more silence
but (but)
in my business it's not (not)
possible it' pitch dark here (but)
you're sleeping so no way
I think "be quicker" but (but)
Remorse is white-hot burning here (here)
I go against the wind or I resist - don't know
And I play barefoot on the fire
I may try it here once more (here)
I could even like it
But I invest without earning
And then
Bandaged I fall in the void
Hurtling down, head down and then
I could nearly like this
I get lost, shipwrecked
In the
Things you don't
say
Those during the night
You're a little ashemed of
In hiding but you do them
And talk about it with friends (but, but)
Deny all at times
You carry the scars
But noone's gonna see them
You think of it
and don't admit it but (but)
It arrives and runs quickly here (my)
brain's pounding
It's ill or who knows what
With the gospel you try to dry your sins that (that)
Not even your wiping cloth can wipe away (anymore)
And I play barefoot on the fire
I may try it here once more (here)
I could even like it
But I invest without earning
And then
Bandaged I fall in the void
Hurtling down, head down and then
I could nearly like this
I get lost, shipwrecked
In the
Refrain
You open parcels
of love
throwing'em down with a thud
You seek a virtual purgatory
For your incapability to love
Wrap again your God of love
For whom you keep praying
In the narrow and tight darkness
Of the things you've never said
Shadows rain down and you can disover
every fault that (that)
In your Limbo you'll jealously
Hide
Conceal
Cover
Swallow
Spit
Heat
Touch
In a pan forget
Fit in
Fit out
Hit or won't hit
Look
You'll know
You'll hide or
Don't know

Refrain
Desire was impatient,
sang, cried,
and thundered from...
The deep night in the breast of
Paola... oh... Paola
Too much boredom on that night
She saught and called
200 princes while she was being the
Lady of the castle
Your red is a relative
red
Without any love stains but now
it's gonna sing within you
out of loneliness and...
Come on, love yourself tonight
Tomorrow you'll be back to yourself
but you're not happy because
you want something easier
Shyness was there
but it disappeard,
fled in the night... vanished
from the eyes of
Paolo... oh... Paola
She played hide-and-seek hid
and showed, saught
the hunter while she was being his
prey in the wood.
Refrain
And you don't rest
anymore
Just the screen on you (and I feel pity)
Keyboards and soul
I can show you now that
Sex has many other forms...
Desire was impatient,
sang, cried,
and thundered from...
The deep night in the breast of
Paola... oh... Paola
Too much boredom on that night
She saught and called
200 princes while she was being the
Lady of the castle
Refrain x 2
Forgive me... I
know, what's done's done
but I ask you
Excuse me... give me a smile and I offer you a
Rose... on this friendship a new peace's
Responsing... knowing the way I am I ask you
Forgive me... I know, what's done's done
but I ask you
Excuse me... give me a smile and I offer you a
Rose... on this friendship a new peace's
Responsing... FORGIVE ME
With this happiness
clenching my heart
Four of five days before Xmas
A mixture of enchantment and pain
I think back to times when I did wrong
And people there were always a lot
Only good pretexts there were just a few
Among wishes, labyrinths and fires
My New Year starts with asking you...
Refrain
Saying that I feel
well with you is too little
Saying that I feel bad with you... is a joke!
A mixture of truce and revolution
I think this is a good opportunity
Thanks to this magical Xmas
To tell you once again how special you are
In spite of your contradictions and your faults
I still try to feel desire for you
Refrain
Winter here doesn't
know any fears
... I without you have some
rage here is out of measure
... I without you... don't know!
And the night dances all along
... I won't dance without you
Captain, pull down the walls
... 'cause I'm not going to do it alone.
Everything started
'cause of your whim
I didn't trust it... was just sex
But sex is an attitude
like art in general
I may've understood and I'm here
Excuse me if I try to insist
I may be a nuisance
But I love you... love you... I love you
There we're again... ok, it's old, but I love you
Excuse me if I
love you and we've met just since
Two months or a little more
Excuse me if I don't talk softly
But if I don't scream I die
Do you happen to know I love you...
Excuse me if I laugh, I fall down embarrassed
I stare at you and tremble
Thinking of you beside me
And feel I belong to you alone
And here i am talking totally upset
... and I'm a clumsy idiot!
Hi, how are you'
Useless question!
But love makes me predictable
I don't speak much which is strange, I drive slow
must be the wind, must be the weather, must be
...fire!
Yesterday and today
I mix them up
then tomorrow... I'll think it over
It has a voice, the spirit
who is silent now... who stopped singing
And so away
let's go away
Leave for a year
travelling but
feeling it and
burning to the
bones and inside
my longing
blowing towards the East
If I'm blue.
Rocking and
being carried and
Saying yourself 'OK'
deep inside you know
I feel this world
is not that bad
I'll want more of it... more...
Cause admitting
sometimes
that you're just like I am
is not that bad you know
You keep living with your
fears of
being normal
but anyhow, the world
is not gonna change
I know it, too
And as long as you can
break everything
Surprise those who don't believe...
don't believe in you...
Refrain
Try to
forget that
thing always go wrong and that
we're in trouble
that the world is badly off... and old story
But take
more of it... more...
more... more...
Stop stop stop
then you swear but it never stops
your hunger is awake, damn, it never falls asleep
Dreams, dreams, dreams
but you know how much they cost
Nights awake trying to survive the fact that
It's not reality
and you alrady know
how it's going to end
Your will-power
will go to the fuck
they say 'be strong', ok but
it's easy to say
what do they know of you?
In that fridge...
tears are cooling down
In the dresser... shut your fears in and then
Under your bed... hide all your dust
Then you don't sleep... you shut and reflect.
And your life combined
with sorrow feeds on you
And the wrong path you've choosen
You keep on thinking, trying to soothe your pain
How I'd like never to have been born
Sail, sail, sail
Reason weights anchor
Nobody expects this from a brainy one like you
You talk, talk, talk
Relentless as a volcano
A more then rapide train, effeicient and only a little shy
But have they ever
told you
that you have to love yourslelf
You can slow down and then
take a little more care of you
What steadiness is it you show
if you can solve troubles
but with your own problems
you never try to cope
In that fridge...
tears are cooling down
In the dresser... shut your fears in and then
Under your bed... hide all your dust
Then you don't sleep... you shut and reflect.
Refrain
And it never stops
And it never changes
Heart inside your stomach
Head with no heroes
Refrain
Will you stop?
Relax! You must respond
You're the one who decides your way
Come on, try to think how better it'd be if you
Loved your life a little more instead
Spring
is no more
(Primavera non è +)
Exuse me
I'm disillusioned
I still show
Signs of weakening and use
irony of circumstance
Sorry I disappointed you, that's it
For me it's time to celebrate
Smiling I take
my victories
and leave you down and out
'nevermind... you say smiling
'nevermind... your mouth is lying
'nevermind... snake's skin
'nevermind... it doesn't matter much
Refrain
Affairs are like
windows during spring
they are easily and too gladöy opened
Listening to the smell of the hopefully approaching
summer.
It seems to be coming, but it doesn't, and you
think of yesterday
and attention takes notice of beautiful things only
of shiny meadows, yellow and white flowwers
but then snow falls down and spring is no more
but then snow falls down and spring is no more
I accuse myslef
of an abuse
I don't take advantage
of your calm
I've been harsh but not dull
That's a big difference
It was one of many
short-lived affairs
OK, let's go on
only, I'm deeply asheamed
'nevermind... you say smiling
'nevermind... your mouth is lying
'nevermind... snake's skin
'nevermind... it doesn't matter much
Refrain
Your arms tight
around the chest as a sign of closure
That expression, the typical sulk
You've never lost
Sitting in front of a cappuccino
You taste its front
And vaguely erotically I sip you with my eyes
And find unquestionable flavours you've lost
Sweet, sour, naif like my bites
How many faults gathered without ever grasping
That if you wanna savour the other you have to
taste each other.
Softly Slowly With
your head Lightly
Starting From outside To split In the end...
Refrain x 3
You know what?
There's you
Since a while
No I don't know I confess it now
It's absurd, isn't it?
I look for you while
2000 "yours"
Turn around me, talk to me and I
Don't hear'em
Or maybe I'm deaf
I look at them
And maybe I don't see'em
I'd be lucky to have you here
But I can't weep for you
To infinity
or die here for you
The boundary between
my feelingd is do thin
That I can't reason any more
And i can't say if
I'm in love with you or if I hate you
The boundary between my feelings is so thin
That you can get in and out
And i can't say if
I'm in love with you or if I hate you
I know
The way you are
You hurt me
First you attack and run
Then you come back again
For you it may be fun
For me it's not
But after all I believe in you
If only you would treat me
They way you treat the idea of me
I want respect
It's my right
Refrain
Doing and undoing
is what you do in life
And i stay there looking at you
First raptured, tied and tortured
Then runaway, confused for you've deceived
me again
Refrain
Since the time
I ate
At a bar table
To the time I spent
In the street that goes
Since the days with no God
To those with you
Wherever I stay
Things pass by
Get lost... who knows
Still we're here
A "ciao" on our mouths
Me and you, like this
My hear is calling
Boom baby
Boom boom boom
My soul is getting
Blue baby
Blue blue blue
As blue as the sky
As blue as your eyes
Knocking on your
eyes
And not to find me
The hand that nowaday
Don't get stuck to you
Words gone away
Like us
My hear is calling
Boom baby
Boom boom boom
My soul is getting
Blue baby
Blue blue blue
As blue as the sky
As blue as your eyes
Screaming inside
That no, I don't give up
And burn and throw away
My melancholy
Smell of a city
That is no poetry anymore
The very same moment
It walks away
And that's anxiety
Thinking of myself without you
Will be a new thing
Scream
Your rage burst out hard, it's blind doesn't
know
doesn't know how strong you are
But you'll stop your step 'cause of this sultry
weather
And if it's so you'll not proceed
But keep saying yourself each day:
"I do all that I can
But I'm a toughnut and a real ace"
Do you feel better now?
Pull yourself together and look up
and work hard ever more
Your toughest game is starting now
The match must be played
With infinite effort.
Find your strength
life is challenging you
She called you to a duel with her
You may win and give up
Or else you're gonna laugh
And you fail and drown but then you'll win
In this great Olympic game
Of me, of you, of the soul!
Jump over the distance
dividing your dreams
from reality
Burn it, speed up and go... squeal!
Pass on the right, carful: curves are
dangerous, you know
It's easy to go spinning
But keep giving gas
All through to the bottom
You're a true tough nut
A great ace
Give more and more
gas quick
and off like a gun now
Refrain
I die but i don't
lose!
You're swearing it!
Knock your fist on your breast
Swear crying!
I fall but I don't surrender
You'll laugh while you win
And you'll know what you've
earned yourself!
The
Child Inside
(Il bimbo dentro)
Where did I vanish?
With a rounder face but never pale
Less self-confident but
Sometime stronger with a great humility.
Sleeping on the desk
Never holding lumps in my throat.
Tired of fighting, sometimes.
But always rich of time to think.
But now.
Now.
I look miles away from you and I say
"You can't get in, you can't get in me,
anymore, you can't hurt me anymore"
cleanching at all costs my teeth
and rather than betray myself I withdrew
myself a little bit, again and again.
Moon listen to
me
If from that corner
Of height
You know more about me
Now, hold me
I don't want to get lost
But now I can't find anymore
That child inside me.
Where did you vanish,
too?
What is it? Are you tired of tell me
That I don't exist anymore?
You that know, with humble honesty,
The whole of me
That jealously keep the "reasons"
Try to give me back that absurd irony
The crazy wish to go away
But going back home
I look miles away from you and I say
"You can't get in, you can't get in me,
anymore, you can't hurt me anymore"
And you don't even react
Don't argue and turn away
Help me
Please
Moon listen to
me
If from that corner
Of height
You know more about me
Jump the bridge
betweet mind and heart
The extrem threshold of pain
The pride and his immense sea
To let know that I think about it
That I suffer cause of intense love
That I still play with the wind
But i can't find thind the child inside anymore
That I still smile with no reason
Sailing inattentively and carefully
Ingenuosly with brains
All or nothing... forever or never
I'm here to find myself
With your help
