Letting Go

Letting go
is like raising the anchor
and watching the boat float away
in the foggy distances
of time lost

Listening to the whistling
wind on a
soundless night
you sit still on the shore
with your head in your hands
and your eyes aghast

And I sail on the glistening surface
sliding like a cold wave
out of sight

In the silence
I wait
without hope or despair
just trusting in the sunrise
tomorrow

The Elephant

Do you remember the story of the elephant and the blind men ? I guess this song is inspired by that. VERSE Woke up this morning  Bad taste in my mouth A feeling of doom Hangs about in the room Don’t go to Dave’s birthday You will not like the crowd I ignore all my feelings Put clothes on and chill out Go to work til half six Shower, make up, wine fix Car won’t start what a drag Take the bus, smoke a fag, curse out loud At the party I see Dave’s not there but there’s Steve Plus new girl, my ex boyfriend The tequila is a godsend But as soon as it’s down Comes back up as I heave Moonbeam and Jade stare at me from the corner Though they know me quite well I’m not part of their tribe ‘Light anoooother one…. Just like the other one…” crack a joke, don’t you spoil the good vibe CHORUS It reminds me of the story of the elephant That miss Murray used to tell us in school Don’t assume that you’ve got the full picture...

No sense in being sensible...

Learning to play a good chess game when you'd rather throw away the board Or pretend any move is the same watch the pieces get cut by a sword Playing by the rules is the only right way but what if you ignore them, act as if they're not there? It still matters, they say you'll be going nowhere ! So you follow the advice, gather up all your wits move when it's the right time be just enough out of reach and delight in the waiting patience ' ll be your ally hold on say the right thing even if you must lie But then when you are the least ready you'll fall asleep at the wheel car won't go in automatic heart's not made out of steel Watch out ! Passion's enemy's reason you won't be in control when the fruit is ripe it will fall and all the good sense in world won't matter at all...

Traduzioni Italiane

La Mal’anima (o la maledizione) Mi aspetta piano al buio Nelle ore piccole Mi aspetta nella luce Quando avanza il sole Si insinua lentamente Come una nebbia senza pieta’ Come una cappa grigia Rinchiusa dentro ad una lacrima Resta con me in un ombra Che minaccia di uccidermi Gli oppongo resistenza In questo vuoto vuole chiudermi Prendimi e portami via Da quest’ inferno di pazzia Insegnami l’abilita’ Di trovare la mia verita’ (di demolire questa menzogna) Nessuno puo’ salvarmi Non c’e’ salvezza nella fuga Soltanto la speranza Da questo fato mi proteggera’ Tu pensi di capirmi Ma non c’e’ modo tu lo possa fare Tutto quello che vedi Son proiezioni tue da soddisfare Intrappolata in questa prigione Vorrei urlare ma non so che dire Paralizzata senza ragione In/da  questo sogno non riesco a fuggire Trad. Cecina Nov 09 ANGELO SONICO Ah quando il cielo e’ grigio E tu sei molto lontano Porta il vento con te Lasciati guidare E quando sarai ormai via...
