Mamma che ne dici di un romantico a Milano? fra i Manzoni preferisco quello vero: Piero Leggi c'è un maniaco sul 'Corriere della Sera' la sua mano per la zingara di Brera è nera Fuggi cosa fuggi non c'è modo di scappare ho la febbre ma ti porto fuori a bere non è niente stai tranquilla è solo il cuore Porta Ticinese piove ma c'è il sole quando il dandy muore fuori nasce un fiore le ragazze fan la fila per vedere la sua tomba con su scritte le parole "io vi amo vi amo ma vi odio però vi amo tutti è bello è brutto io non lo so io vi amo vi amo ma vi odio però vi amo tutti è bello è brutto è solo questo" Scusi che ne pensa di un romantico alla Scala? quando canta le canzoni della mala scola quasi centomila Montenegro e Bloody Mary mocassini gialli e sentimenti chiaro-scuri Cara scriverà sulle tovaglie dei Navigli quanta gioia, quanti giorni, quanti sbagli quanto freddo nei polmoni che dolore non è niente non è niente lascia stare se la Madonnina muore nasce un fiore lui non vuole che la sua ragazza legga quelle frasi incise quelle frasi amare la sua tomba con su scritte le parole "io vi amo vi amo ma vi odio però vi amo tutti è bello è brutto io non lo so io vi amo vi amo ma vi odio però vi amo tutti è bello è brutto è un giglio marcio io vi amo vi amo ma vi sputo però vi amo tutti è bello è brutto è solo questo" L'erba ti fa male se la fumi senza stile!
Vivere non è possibile, lasciò un biglietto inutile, prima di respirare il gas, prima di collegarsi al caos, e la mia amica era una stronza, aveva 16 anni appena.
Vagamente psichedelica, la sua t-shirt all’epoca, prima di perdersi nel punk, prima di perdersi nel crack, si mise insieme ad un nazista conosciuto in una rissa...
E nonostante le bombe vicine, la fame, malgrado le mine, sul foglio lasciò parole nere di vita: "la guerra è finita, per sempre finita, almeno per me!"
"Emotivamente instabile, viziata ed insensibile", il professore la bollò, ed un caramba la incastrò durante un furto all’Esselunga, pianse e non le piacque affatto...
E nonostante le bombe alla televisione, malgrado le mine, la penna sputò parole nere di vita: "la guerra è finita, per sempre finita, almeno per me!"
E nonostante sua madre impazzita e suo padre, malgrado Belgrado, l’America e Bush, con una bic profumata da attrice bruciata "la guerra è finita!", scrisse così...
Maybe I don't really want to know How your garden grows I just want to fly Lately did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly I want to live I don't want to die Maybe I just want to breath Maybe I just don't believe Maybe you're the same as me We see things they'll never see You and I are gonna live forever
Maybe I don't really want to know How your garden grows I just want to fly Lately did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I will never be All the things that I want to be But now is not the time to cry Now's the time to find out why I think you're the same as me We see things they'll never see You and I are gonna live forever We're gonna live forever Gonna live forever Live forever Forever
I wander lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run from
In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you too will understand
I've got to tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man
In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it's you and me, we're history There ain't nothing left to say When I will get you alone
Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you know it's true Living with me is like keeping a fool
In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me Cause I am
And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I want to tell you my tale How I failed in love and jumped out on my bail Do you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's one thing that you might have missed
Why am I going to A place that now belongs to you But you were weak and so am I Let's pick it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life coz it is mine Is that a crime (repeat) this life is mine But the bed ain't made but it's spilled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope
Drive the road to your surrender Time comes around... out of my hands Small boats on the beach at the dead of night Come and go before first light Leave me running in the wheel King of the world How do you feel? What is there to feel?
So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight? Tell me girl why you and me Scared of sunlight?
Been in pain for so long I cant even say what hurts anymore I will leave you alone I will deny I will leave you to bleed I will leave you with your life
So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight? Tell me girl why are you and me Scared of sunlight?
All your spirit rack abuses Come to haunt you back by day All your byzantine excuses Given time, given you away Dont be surprised when daylight comes To find that memory prick your thumbs Youll tell them where to run to hide Im already dead Its a matter of time
So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight How do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight So how do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight How do we now come to be Afraid of sunlight
Dayglo jesus on the dash Chalk marks on the road ahead Friendly fire in hostile waters Keep the faith Dont lose your head So how do we now come to be?
I have been here many times before In a life I used to live But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain Like the whole world has been made again
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain Like the whole world has been made again
I have been here many times before In a life I used to live ... And it's all because you made me see What is false and what is true Like the inside and the outside of me Is being made again by you
And it's all because you made me see What is false and what is true Like the inside and the outside of me Has been made again by you
Like a bright new morning Like a bright new day I woke up from a deep sleep I woke up from a bad dream To a bright new morning To a bright new world
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say 'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some way Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep How do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the night Your body followed this feeling like following light Once that your music was born it followed you 'round And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
You're sad but you smile It not in your eyes Your eyeballs won't change It's the muscles around your eyes
An egg to fertilize A pulse to stabilize A body to deodorize A life to scrutinize A child to criticize Young adults to modernize Citizens to terrorize Generations to desensitize
You're dreams are sweet and obsessed And your overworked You're overtaken by visions of being overlooked How disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers) Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed Am I a prisoner to instincts? Or do my thoughts just live As free and detached As boats to the dock?
Just like when music was born And detached from your heart Is your free time to free minds Or for falling apart?
Night after night You turn out the light You don't fall asleep right away "Are we... are we done?"
A desk to organize A product to advertise A market to monopolize Movie stars you idolize Leaders to scandalize Enemies to neutralize No time to apologize Fury to tranquilize Weapons to synchronize Cities to vapor-i

Lying in my bed, I think of you That song goes through my head, the one we both knew In each line lies another line full of sacred sound But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed. Watching my mistakes, I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
The snow might fall and write the lines on the silent page But you're outside making permanent love to the nuclear age Two silhouettes by the cash machine make a lovers dance It's a tango for the lonely wives of the business class
Lying in my bed Watching my mistakes I listen to the band Lying in my bed With nothing much to say so I listen to the man He said that it could be the 2 of us
I heard you call from across the city through the stereo sound And so I crawled there sickeningly pretty as the money went round
Lying in my head watching my mistakes I listen to the band And the drums beat in my head Pianos chime the sound in this prison of the house And as the illness comes again can you hear me through the rain As I listen to the band? As I sing the silent song Mime each lonely word Please listen to the man he said that it could be the 2 of us
Alone but not lonely, you and me Alone but loaded.........
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you I'm still alright to smile Girl, I think about you every day now Was a time when I wasn't sure But you set my mind at ease There is no doubt you're in my heart now Said woman take it slow It'll work itself out fine All we need is just a little patience Said sugar make it slow And we'll come together fine All we need is just a little patience (inhale) Patience... Ooh, oh, yeah
Sit here on the stairs 'Cause I'd rather be alone If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear Sometimes, I get so tense But I can't speed up the time But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider Said woman take it slow Things will be just fine You and I'll just use a little patience Said sugar take the time 'Cause the lights are shining bright You and I've got what it takes to make it We won't fake it, Oh never break it 'Cause I can't take it
...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah, Need a little patience, yeah Just a little patience, yeah Some more pati... (ence, yeah) I've been walking these streets at night Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah) It's hard to see with so many around You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah) And the streets don't change but maybe the name I ain't got time for the game 'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah) Yeah, yeah well I need you Oh, I need you (Take some patience) Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need) Ooh, this ti- me....
She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I stared too long I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies As if they thought of rain I hate to look into those eyes And see an ounce of pain Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Where as a child I'd hide And pray for the thunder And the rain To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
Where do we go Where do we go now Where do we go Sweet child o' mine
Loaded like a freight train Flyin' like an aeroplane Feelin' like a space brain One more time tonight
Well I'm a west coast struttin' One bad mother Got a rattlesnake suitcase Under my arm Said I'm a mean machine Been drinkin' gasoline And honey you can make my motor hum Well I got one chance left In a nine live cat I got a dog eat dog sly smile I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go I smoke my cigarette with style An I can tell you honey You can make my money tonight
Wake up late honey put on your clothes Take your credit card to the liquor store That's one for you and two for me by tonight I'll be loaded like a freight train Flyin' like an aeroplane Feelin' like a space brain One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain Bottoms up I'm on the nightrain Fill my cup I'm on the nightrain Ready to crash and burn I never learn I'm on the nightrain I love that stuff I'm on the nightrain I can never get enough I'm on the nightrain Never to return - no
Loaded like a freight train Flyin' like an aeroplane Speedin' like a space brain One more time tonight
I'm on the nightrain And I'm lookin' for some I'm on the nightrain So's I can leave this slum I'm on the nightrain And I'm ready to crash an' burn Nightrain Bottoms up I'm on the nightrain Fill my cup I'm on the nightrain
Whoa yeah I'm on the nightrain Love that stuff I'm on the nightrain An I can never get enough Ridin' the nightrain I guess I I guess, I guess, I guess I never learn
On the nightrain Float me home Ooh I'm on the nightrain Ridin' the nightrain Never to return Nightrain
"What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach... So, you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it! Well, he gets it! N' I don't like it any more than you men." *
Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before
My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "Peace could last forever" And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land
And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars
"We practice selective annihilation of mayors And government officials For example to create a vacuum Then we fill that vacuum As popular war advances Peace is closer" **
I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh And I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars? I don't know if you knew that. Oh we'd stay up late playing cards, Henri Winterman Cigars. Though she never told me her name, I still love you, Girl From Mars.
Sitting in our dreamy days by the water's edge, On a cool summer's night. Fireflies and the stars in the sky, Gentle glowing light, From your cigarette. The breeze blowing softly on my face, Reminds me of something else. Something that in my memory has been replaced, Suddenly it all comes back. And as I look to the stars.
I remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars, I don't know if you knew that. Oh we'd stay up late playing cards, Henri Winterman Cigars. Though she never told me her name, I still love you, Girl From Mars.
Surging through the darkness over the moonlight strand, Electricity in the air. Twisting all through the night on the terrace, Now that summer's here. I know you are almost in love with me, I can see it in your eyes. Strange light shimmering over the sea tonight, And it almost blows my mind And as I look to the stars
I remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars, I don't know if you knew that. Oh we'd stay up late playing cards, Henri Winterman Cigars. Though she never told me her name, I still love you, Girl From Mars.
Today I sleep in the chair by the window, It felt as if you'd returned. I thought that you were standing over me, When I woke there was no-one there. I still love you, Girl From.. Mars
Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars? I don't know if you knew that. Oh we'd stay up late playing cards, Henri Winterman Cigars. Though she never told me her name.
Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars? I don't know if you knew that. Oh we'd stay up late playing cards. Henri Winterman Cigars. And I still dream of you, I still love you, Girl From Mars.
Short sleeves and warm skin Losing coins calling next of kin Dropping words about the city were in Ponds compressed by heavy air Us without care just sprawling there Gods in our world
Airports and undergrounds Waiting to find the unfound Rising to pure insanity Here when you want me True love has no simplicity Gods in our world
You and I were going so high The air is getting thin Our land does not breathe in We dont need oxygen Its dreams that bind us and locks us in The rest are impaled by sense
You and I were going so high The air is getting thin Our land does not breathe in We dont need oxygen Its dreams that bind us and locks us in The rest are impaled by sense
Down under water I'm pale blue Deep down the chlorine smells like you Was it you that held too tight? Was it me that was too weak? I will leave you where you lay While I slip and slide away Behind my wristwatch the skin is white Behind my wristwatch where winter hides Was it you that held too tight? Was it me that was too weak? I will leave you where you lay While I slip and slide away The little things that she says What do they say to me The little things that she does What do they do to me The little things that she says What do they say to me The little things that she does The little things that she says What do they say to me The little things that she does What do they do to me The little things that she says What do they say to me The little things that she does
Silence, like a whisper Maybe tomorrow it won't be here So tomorrow we could teach them Some new styles You're such a killer So shoot me down again It won't hurt when the killing is done by a friend
Silence, like a whisper So this is all we need The fully air conditioned sound of speed A violent whisper And this time it's for real So this day I made plans for us to leave
Silence, why won't you listen Maybe it's just me but sometimes it's impossible to breathe A violent whisper Maybe this time it won't heal Maybe this time it will bleed until I'm free
Things go wrong when I trust them In my naive way I love them Like you told me to love them I abide by man made rules And am a picture of all fools I have a border of white clues
I use the formulae of everyday In the floods I stay and get washed away
People talk in nothing With a reverence in a something And my heart beats on with indifference To the lessons of attrition I am a picture of all fools I have a border of white clues
I use the formulae of everyday In the floods I stay and get washed away
formulae of everyday In the floods I stay and get washed away
I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon Enveloped heart, and the air is cool Put on your dress, white Goddess And settle in, as the weather folds In the slow haze of the afternoon Swaying hips, made like a gun Blackest sails, the most beautiful, star
In the world, in the air, on my tongue Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun
So, take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? Only you know
You were conceived in my heart, came like a dream To save me from my mortality Put on your dress, white Goddess And settle in, as the weather folds Our lives will be entwined, even when I die You'll see me through 'til the end of time No earthly bride, the most beautiful, star
In the world, in the air, on my tongue Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun
So, take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? Only you know
Take me in your arms again Lead me in my dreams again So, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? I'll sell my soul, what is it worth?
As I walk in the dirty rain Acid seeping through my brain I'm never gonna crack There can be no turning back Water runs down the windowpane As she sucks on a sugarcane You can see it in my face Staring into outer space We're renegades
We belong in the gutter singing This song, all the bells are ringing Hey, yeah Hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey
And it feels like a dirty dream Like I'm walking to the guillotine Feel the voodoo in my brain Sipping on a hurricane How's it feel to be a freak? Oh so pale and so unique To walk lonely in the rain Unashamed that we are not the same
We belong in the gutter dreaming Sing along, at the stars we're screaming Hey, yeah Hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey
How does it feel to be alone? Set apart from all the clones We're the ones who can't be tamed Who go against the grain Alright
Hey, yeah Hey, yeah We belong in the gutter singing This song, all the bells are ringing Hey, yeah Hey, yeah
Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, Didn't you? People'd call, say: "Beware doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were just kiddin' you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out And now you don't walk so proud Now you don't talk so loud About having to be scrounging For your next meal
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Just like a rolling stone?
You went to the finest schools all right, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get, Juiced in it And nobody taught you how to Live out on the street But now you are gonna have to get, Used to it You said you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize That he's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And say : "Do you want to make a deal?"
How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Just like a rolling stone?
I want to see what people saw I want to feel like I felt before I want to see the kingdom come I want to feel forever young I want to sing To sing my song I want to live in a world where I belong I want to live I will survive And I believe that it won't be very long If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn So where's the stars? Up in the sky And what's the moon? A big balloon We'll never know unless we grow There's so much world outside the door I want to sing To sing my song I want to live in a world where I'll be strong I want to live I will survive And I believe that it won't be very long If we turn, turn, turn, turn And if we turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn Turn, turn, turn, turn Turn, turn, turn And if we turn, turn, turn, turn Then we might learn Learn to turn
All my friends Now seem so thin and frail Slinky secrets Hotter than the sun No peachy prayers No trendy rechauffe I'm with you So I can't go on
All my violence Raining tears upon the sheet I'm bewildered/resentful For we're strangers when we meet
Blank screen TV Preening ourselves in the snow Forget my name But I'm over you Blended sunrise And it's a dying world Humming Rheingold We scavenge up our clothes
All my violence Raining tears upon the sheet I'm bewildered/resentful For we're strangers when we meet
Cold tired fingers Tapping out your memories Halfway sadness Dazzled by the new Your embrace Was all that I feared That whirling room We trade by vendu
Steely resolve Is falling from me All your regrets Ride rough-shod over me I'm so thankful That we're strangers when we meet I'm in clover For we're strangers when we meet Heel head over And we're strangers when we meet
You’ve got your mother in a whirl She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl
Hey babe, your hair’s alright Hey babe, let’s go out tonight You like me, and I like it all We like dancing and we look divine You love bands when they’re playing hard You want more and you want it fast They put you down, they say I’m wrong You tacky thing, you put them on

"E' importante lasciare che certe cose se ne vadano. Si liberino. Si distacchino. Gli uomini hanno bisogno di comprendere che nessuno sta giocando con carte truccate: a volte si vince, a volte, si perde. Non aspettarti che ti restituiscano qualcosa; non aspettarti che riconoscano i tuoi sforzi, che scoprano il tuo genio, che capiscano il tuo amore. Bisogna chiudere i cicli. Non per orgoglio, per incapacità o per superbia: semplicemente perchè quella determinata cosa esula ormai dalla tua vita. Chiudi la porta, cambia musica, pulisci la casa, rimuovi la polvere. Smetti di essere chi eri e trasformati in chi sei."
From way far across the sea Came an eritrean maiden she Had a one track mind and eyes for me Half blinded in the war
With a pale young Anglican Who said he'd help her all he can Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend She had no notion to please him Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
There's a little boy in a stairwell who says "I hate being poor like you" Got match sticks & cable TV half of less than 50p We all clambered over the balcony Banging on the window waking Steve Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend Singing if you really need it You just won't leave it behind
So baby please kill me Oh baby don't kill me But don't bring that ghost round to my door I don't wanna see him anymore
Please kill me Oh baby don't kill me Just don't bang on about yesterday I wouldn't know about that anyway
Monkey asked the mouse before If she loved anybody more than he It turns you into stone Now I'm reversing down the lonely street a cheap hotel where I can meet the past pay off and keep it sweet It's sweet like nothing no It's just like nothing at all
Yes I've seen you there How could I help but stare It rips the heart out of your baby Now I've taken far too much to see Or think or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street that Paved my only way home
You really need it oh You just won't leave it behind
Oh please kill me Oh no don't kill me But don't bring that ghost round to my door I don't wanna see him anymore
Please kill me Oh no don't kill me But don't go on about yesterday I wouldn't know about that anyway Oh no
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The night of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, Come on, Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb. (solo) I have become comfortably numb.
O.K. Just a little pin prick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. but I have become comfortably numb.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
I've nothing much to offer There's nothing much to take I'm an absolute beginner And I'm absolutely sane As long as we're together The rest can go to hell I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners With eyes completely open But nervous all the same
If our love song Could fly over mountains Could laugh at the ocean Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true
Nothing much could happen Nothing we can't shake Oh we're absolute beginners With nothing much at stake As long as you're still smiling There's nothing more I need I absolutely love you But we're absolute beginners But if my love is your love We're certain to succeed
If our love song Could fly over mountains Sail over heartaches Just like the films There's no reason To feel all the hard times To lay down the hard lines It's absolutely true

She says It helps with the lights out Her rabid glow Is like braille to the night She swears I'm a slave to the details But if your life is such a big joke Why should I care? The clock is set for nine But you know you're gonna make it eight So that you two can take some time Teach each other to reciprocate She feels that my sentimental side Should be held with kids gloves But she doesn't know That I left my urge in the icebox She swears I'm just prey to the female Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes Cause I like to get hooked The clock is set for nine But you know you're gonna make it eight All the people that you've loved They're all bound to leave some keepsakes I've been swinging all the time Think it's time to learn your way I picture you and me together In the jungle it will be ok I'll bring you when my lifeboat Sails through the night That is supposing that You don't sleep tonight
It's like learning a new language Helps me catch up on my mind If you don't bring up those lonely parts This could be a good time It's like learning a new language You come here to me We'll collect those lonely parts And set them down You come here to me...

Don't bother saying you're sorry. Why don't you come in? Smoke all my cigarettes - again. Every time I get no further. How long has it been? Come on in now, Wipe your feet on my dreams.
You take up my time, Like some cheap magazine, When I could have been learning something. Oh well, you know what I mean.
I've done this before. And I will do it again. Come on and kill me baby, while you smile like a friend. And I'll come running, Just to do it again.
You are the last drink I never should drunk. You are the body hidden in the trunk. You are the habit I can't seem to kick. You are my secrets on the front page every week. You are the car I never should have bought. You are the train I never should have caught. You are the cut that makes me hide my face. You are the party that makes me feel my age.
Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid. Like a plane I've been told I never should board. Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end. Let me tell you now, It's lucky for you that we're friends.

Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind, and to lie to you rather than hurt you? Well I'll confess all of of my sins after several large gins but still I'll hide from you, hide what's inside from you.
And alarm bells ring when you say your heart still sings when you're with me. Won't you please forgive me?
But I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no no
And all the memories of the pubs and the clubs and the drugs and the tubs we shared together, Will stay with me forever.
But all the highs and the lows and the to's and the fro's, They left me dizzy, Oh won't you please forgive me I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no
Well I no longer hear the music when the lights go out, Love goes cold in the shades of doubt The strange fate in my mind is all too clear. Music when the lights come on The girl I thought I knew has gone, And with her my heart had disappeared...
Well I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no no All the memories of the fights and the nights and the blue lights, all the kites We flew together, I thought they'd fly forever.
But all the highs and the lows and the to's and the fro's They left me dizzy, Oh won't you forgive me
But I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no no
Music when the lights go out Love goes cold in the shades of doubt The strange fate in my mind it's all too clear.
Music when the lights come on The girl I thought I knew has gone And With her my heart had disappeared
Well I no longer hear the music Oh no no no no no And no longer hear the music
I was a troubled teen Who put an advert in a magazine To the annoyance of my imaginary lover She questioned my integrity And this is what she said to me
She said oh, you, you're green You don't know what love means Oh let me tell you It tickles you pink, oh yeah But it likes to hear you scream Fire and damnation, lamentations For the likes of you
When she goes, oh just let her go If she says she's going Just make sure she goes Make sure she goes
I was a troubled teen Untroubled only in my daydreams To the annoyance of someone or others They doubted my philosophy And this is what they said to me
Oh, you, you'll soon be up where you belong But it's only blood from broken hearts And write the words to every song And there's a beatific smile For the fawners and the servants Oh but I, only I
I can see the serpent Oh, you, you're green You don't know what love means Let me tell you It tickles you pink, oh yeah Everybody likes to hear you scream Fire and damnation, lamentations For the likes of you
When she goes, oh just let her go If she says she's going Just make sure she goes
"I miei sogni sono uno scherzo crudele, mi beffano. Anche nei miei songi sono un idiota che sa che sta per sveglarsi nella realtà. Se solo potessi evitare di dormire, ma non posso. Cerco di dirmi cosa sognare. Cerco di sognare di volare. Qualcosa di liberatorio. Non funziona mai." (Cit.)
On the bus the other day You could tell right from the start There's magic in all that you play But oh, can you play guitar boy Can you play guitar The truth is known the drums they roll Loop the loop on the old banjo
Say no no no Say yeah yeah yeah I said maybe maybe maybe I just dont care
No it doesnt rhyme with treatury Nothing I never did Measure out your honesty and Things you keep in Things they keep in The truth is known the drums they roll I loop the loop on the old banjo
Say no no no Oh yeah yeah yeah Oh maybe maybe maybe I just dont care
Some people run from trouble Some people meet it half way Others are glad to pay Their cab fare over And soup and fresh-a-fish for Anna-Lee I really enjoy the company that you loathe to bear What exactly do you mean The truth be known the drums they roll I loop the loop on the old banjo
Say no no no Then said yeah yeah yeah Oh maybe maybe maybe I just dont care
Say no no no Yeah yeah yeah Oh maybe maybe maybe I just don’t care
All this talk of getting old It's getting me down my love Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me As you lay down on your side Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again
But I know I'm on a losing streak 'Cause I passed down my old street And if you wanna show, then just let me know And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old It's getting me down my love Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown This time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work They just make you worse But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
But if you wanna show, just let me know And I'll sing in your ear again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down No more, no more, no more, no more, no more I'm never coming down, I'm never going down No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things in all positions All these things will one day take control And fade out again and fade out
This machine will will not communicate these thoughts And the strain I am under Be a world child form a circle before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death can see it’s beady eyes All these things into frution All these things we’ll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again.
