l angolo delle canzoni................

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

stretched to the point of no turning back

a flight of fancy on a wind swept field

standing alone my sense reeled

a fatal attraction holding me fast, how

can I escape this irresistable grasp?

can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

ice is forming on the tips of my wings

unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything

no navigator to guide my way home

unladened, empty and turned to stone


a soul in tension that's learning to fly

condition grounded but determined to try

can't keep my eyes from the -circling- skies

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I


above the planet on a wing and a prayer

my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air

across the clouds I see my shadow fly

out of the corner of my watering eye

a dream unthreatened by the morning light

gould blow this soul right through the roof of the night


there's no sensation to compare with this

suspended animation, a state of bliss

can't keep my mind from the circling sky

tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

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 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 we found?

The same old fears,

wish you were here.

I'm not afraid
of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just tryin' to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
My own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darlin' look at you oh
Ya gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are goin' nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment now
you can't get out of it
don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in the moment
and you can't get out of it
I will forsake
the cause that you bring
The hours that you spent at night
and came up with nothing
I am still enchanted
from the light you brought to me
Listen through your ears
and through your eyes I could see
But you are such a fool
To worry like you do oh
I know it's tuff
And you can never get enough
What you don't really need now my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment now
you can't get out of it
Oh Lord look at you now
You got yourself stuck in a moment
and ya can't get out of it
I can see you surfacing
And how high you go tome
Can't you see
I mean it was a fault
It's a long way down to nothing at all
nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You got stuck in a moment now
you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in the moment and
you can't get out of it
Just let your mind run slowly
and if the day won't go
and if your wishes falter
along your stormy path
if it was the pain was over
and if the day would last
and if your wishes falter
along your stormy path
it's just moment understand
will pass understand
and if your wishes falter
along your stormy path
it's just moment understand
it will pass!
it will pass!

Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone
the army's up the road
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.
