EXCEPT FOR HIMSELF
Words and music - Elisa Montaldo
Wakin’ up early in the morning
sayin’ hello to a brand new day
everything seems so good
and you know that you deserve it
after living what you’ve lived
and after you’ve cried
all your tears and all your pains arevrepaid
tryin’ hard to fit in the present
giving life lessons to everyone
don’t you see the suffering
that is hidden in other hearts?
like a book with too many pages
you forgot how it started
and you keep on thinking this is who you are
Nothing can change someone who is sure to be the broken
be the wounded
be the only person in the world,
in this mad world who knows what it’s the best for me, for us, for them…..except for himself
Even if time is passing, you stay locked into your big home
with a rope around your dreams drowning sunny days into a dark room
maybe if you take a look, you’ll see that reality
is not as bad as you always believed
Nothing can change someone who is sure to be the right one
be the good one
be the only person in the world,
in this mad world who knows what it’s the best for me, for us, for them…..
Will you change your mind, will you try to change your mind?
will you understand that you’re not always right
will you let someone show you things that you don’t see
you will be suprised!
…in this mad world who knows what it’s the best for me, for us, for them…except for himself

E se la storia è scritta, io non la leggo più
qui tutto si confonde, il nero diventa blu
silenzio sulle strade e dentro le città
la gente dai balconi grida la musica
e si resta qui così, con le mani nelle mani
e quando tutto sembra spento…
è allora che le mani
trovano da fare, cercare e ricordare
tese, trovano altre mani
che stringono la vita in un mosaico naturale che sfuma in tinta unita
il giorno che non ti aspettavi è qua
Si mischiano i rumori di mille verità
ormai nessuno dà più valore alla parola magica
è proprio come soffiare su mille formiche e guardare
come il caos le renda quasi nemiche
senza scrupoli corrono senza una meta ma fuggono tutte dalla stessa realtà
e si arresta qui così la nostra quotidianità
e quando tutto sembra spento…
è allora che le mani
ritrovano da fare, creare per capire
che arriverà domani a stringerci la vita
e accompagnarci in una danza antica ed infinita
il giorno che non ti aspettavi è qua

so much more

The sweat hadn’t even started to dry on your back as you closed the bedroom door
you made me feel so beautiful then you treated me like a whore
it would have been so much better if I had known, really, right from the start
I would have worn something special, something fitting instead of my heart
and the worse thing is, I know you’ll call and give me some pathetic reason
so I have some kind of hope and something to believe in
as I tell myself waiting for the phone to ring, the only reason why I would ever let you back in
is to show you I’m more….so much more
So much, I’m so much more, I’m so much more than these
bad sketches without colors that you’ve made of me
So much, I’m so much more, I’m so much more than these
small puzzle pieces that don’t fit on you and me
My mind is spinning in delusion drowning in false hope
your punctuated sentences like bouys keep me a float
I told myself stay calm get up don’t give in scream out go out fit in
but whose words are these that you say I must follow
shadows from the past reaching breaching tomorrow
I’m not your babe, your woman or your homely bitch
that was your father’s way of thinking
and your mother’s suffrage
that’s why you’re blocked and I don’t answer any of your calls
coz I know… I’m so much more…

I'm still here
04:53

You haven't looked at me that way in years
You dreamed me up and left me here
How long was I dreaming for
What was it you wanted me for
You haven't looked at me that way in years
Your watch has stopped and the pond is clear
Someone turn the lights back on
I'll love you 'til all time is gone
You haven't looked at me that way in years
But I'm still here

wine tastes better

Wine tastes better if I look at your eyes
it gives my lips a place to hide
and wine tastes good if I look at you
Don’t want to lose my mind I just want to be fine
and walk in my high heels on Saturday night
well, now I know I’m good - I’m not a liar, not a fool
so come here close and whisper to my ear your biggest secret
take my hand, so take my hand
we’re falling into the deep
Wine tastes better if I look at your eyes
it gives my lips a place to hide
and wine tastes good if I look at you
Let’s go to some old bar with the right jazz, the right stout
and talk about movies, look at us we are the stars!
while all the world around is changing mood too fast
let’s not lose the right path, it’s just here in between the words we’re afraid to tell so
tease me, tease me, and pour me another glass of…
Wine tastes better if I look at your eyes
it gives to my lips a place where to hide
and wine tastes good if I look at you

washing the clouds

The wind is howling on the hill
bringing on Earth the winter chill
tonight the Moon will find me here
searching for tunes and words
I’ve told you many many times
please don’t try more to recognize
the face that hides behind the song
this time won’t last so long
As every morning when the sun will rise
to warm your sleepy eyes,
I will be there to find the meaning of
the silence , the prayers, the thoughts
and put the clock in time
The wind is talking once again
my heart is breaking down the spell
without a tear you’ll be away
far from all this crazy day
As every morning when the sun will rise
to warm your sleepy eyes,
I will be there to find the meaning of
the shadows , the rainbows, the ghosts
and put the clock in time

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard!
