Having no place, no home to stay
She goes down the lake just to find the haze
But she didn’t stray, no
She took her way to the trees
There’s no need to be worried about
Who decides what is worthwhile? Who decides the beauty of it
That being up there
It took too long to go away
I’d like to know who feeds this creature
Why it’s still there, in our old house?
I’d like to know what else is needed
To turn it, at last, into ashes and blow away
It’s alright, all goes fine
She’ll hunt some hens to the long night, she’ll make a lair of any place
She didn’t stray, no
She took her way to the trees
Yes she did, to the trees
I’d like to know who feeds this creature
Why it’s still there, in our old house?
I’d like to know what else is needed
To turn it, at last, into ashes and blow away

Against me
02:33
|

|
Impossible cities to visit before you die, before you die
Those lips to be kissed
Don’t be a saviour, try to be someone to be saved
I know the counts against me, against me
I know the counts perfectly, so please
No colours to fill, to solve or to chase
Your dreams, desire
What’s the point here over the clouds
So high, so high
Listen up, I didn’t prepare my speech
It’s only my goddamn opinion
I sell no heaven on earth
It’s been so long since you were here
Life is such a weird place
So heaven can wait for me
Being always right never brings me, never brings
Winter grapes or summer, summer figs
Listen up, I didn’t prepare my speech
It’s only my goddamn opinion
I sell no heaven on earth
I know the counts against me, against me
I know the counts perfectly, so please
Winter grapes or summer

Oblivion
03:26
|

|
Finding eyes like yours inside stories of devout life
Fly away, tell me what’s the secret of your abnegation
Leave it all right now, burn your ships just to chase that ideal.
I would like to know how it’s done, some will lie just to hide
I would like to know how it’s done, some will hug you with fire
Cause oblivion just by our side.
Poisoned by their whispers until the fever tears me apart
Fill my lungs I will need some air, why is she still here?
I would like to know how it’s done, some will lie just to hide
I would like to know how it’s done, some will hug you with fire
Cause oblivion just by our side.
Finding eyes like yours inside stories of devout life
Fly away, tell me what the secret of your abnegation
And oblivion just by our side.
And oblivion just by our side.

Miss Brown

Oh, Miss Brown
looking for your place
having a one pound tea
at the Ritz.
It’s never too late
to read the Daily Mail
it’s wonderful to be a cat
in Bagdad.
She doesn’t dress for plumbing
she shouldn’t be satisfied
just looking
so smart
Get in that train
oh little, little Brown
and help me to feed squirrels
to the nuts.

Summer house
04:20

I’ve made love with you in so many different ways, so many times, in my mind
But time changes and now I can’t find, a place for you, again in my life
I do, I know I couldn’t avoid it, even if I’d like to.
Walking through the invisible time in the summer house, of closed windows
If only stupid stories from books would ever work for us
Let me count your spots again, things just lasted too much
I haven’t changed at all… so far
Walking through the invisible time in the summer house, of closed windows
If only stupid stories from books would ever work for us
Let me count your spots again, things just lasted too much
I haven’t changed at all… so far
I haven’t changed at all… so far
I haven’t changed at all…

Silver lining

This silver lining in my times,
Now I know the path I should follow
These boots are too big for everybody else
This silver lining in my times when I discover
I never did anything right, anything right, anything right, anything right
I can’t hear it’s so crowded here in my head
Never be afraid of bending spoons near to her
I would let me die deep in this cave
This silver lining in my times when I discover
I never did anything right
Now I know the path
Now I know the path I should follow
I can’t hear it’s so crowded here in my head
Never be afraid of bending spoons near to her
I would let me die deep in this cave
This silver lining in my times when I discover
I never did anything right
Now I know the path
Now I know the path I should follow
This silver lining in my times when I discover I never did anything right, any thing right, anything right, anything right

Eternal longing
03:59
|

|
Walking the streets I found those days,
Life was gonna happen
and we were drinking youth.
Eager, under the candid
perfection of an early fraternity,
we consumed the lightness of the days.
And I come back here today, same landscape
But now it feels like a dream, another being’s experience.
Eternal longing, already then
Eternal longing
Already then it came to me.
inebriated land above
seeking the meaning through the orangey lights
and feeling the unreality of existence.
And I come back here today, same landscape;
But now it feels like a dream, another being’s experience.
Eternal longing, already then
Eternal longing

Girl

Find a job or keep studying
Why don’t you sort out your life
Would’t it be nice to get that blessed routine?
And learn to love your sunday mornings, fleeting weekends and Easter holidays.
Life, oh young girl
Being in the world it’s not enough
You better find a way of being
So what you wanna do?
Why don’t you know yet
Why don’t you know yet
Tell your grandma and your aunt
You’re working hard to find a man
Wouldn’t it be nice to get that blessed relief?
And be prepared to raise your children in a candied jungle of a thousand eyes.
Life, oh young girl
Being in the world it’s not enough
You better find a way of being
So what you wanna do?
Why don’t you know yet
Why don’t you know yet

Mirages

When was the last time you felt good?
What did you love when you were young? it crossed my mind
A single ride to meet the one
Who always tells the truth, where no one wants to choose
Questions nest inside us.
Cause dreams always show the truth
But never in the way you expect
Wake up old boy and run from the city on fire
Wake up old boy and run from the city on fire
The First steps in every marathon
Always come with myths of glory, but it’s scary
I’ll do it on my own
Cause the river comes full today, it crossed my mind
Stop in the middle, leave your clothes.
Close your eyes, let yourself fall
But never in the way you expect
Wake up old boy and run from the city on fire
Wake up old boy and run from the city on fire
