| Rise
& Fall Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall Superstar you’ve finally made it But once your picture becomes tainted It’s what they call the rise & fall (x2) I always said that I was gonna make it Now it’s plain for everyone to see But this game I’m in don’t take no prisoners Just casualties I know that everything is gonna change Even the friends I knew before may go But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for Started believing that I was the greatest My life was never gonna be the same ‘cos with the money came a different status That’s when things changed Now I’m too concerned with all the things I own Blinded by all the pretty girls I see I’m beginning to loose my integrity Chorus Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over And it seems as though the writing’s on the wall Superstar you’ve finally made it But once your picture becomes tainted It’s what they call the rise & fall I never used to be a troublemaker Now I don’t even wanna please the fans No autographs, no interviews, no pictures Endless demands Gave in to vices that were clearly wrong The types that seemed to make me feel so right But some things you may find can take over your life Burnt all my bridges now I’ve run out of places And there’s nowhere left for me to turn Been caught in compromising situations I should have learned From all those times I didn’t walk away When I knew that it was best to go Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart? Chorus Now I know I’ve made mistakes You think I don’t care But you don’t realise what this means to me So let me have just one more chance I’m not the man I used to be Used to be Chorus |
L'ascesa
e la caduta Ci sono momenti nella vita in cui senti di dover smettere di combattere ed e' come se lo leggessi a chiare lettere sui muri Sei una superstar, finalmente ce l'hai fatta Ma non appena la tua immagine viene diffamata si parla di ascesa e caduta (x2) Mi sono sempre detto che ce l'avrei fatta Ormai e' chiaro agli occhi di tutti Ma il gioco a cui prendo parte non fa prigionieri Fa solo feriti Credo che tutto cambiera' Anche gli amici che avevo prima magari se ne andranno Ma questo sogno e' la vita che ho sempre voluto Ho cominciato a credere di essere il migliore La mia vita non sarebbe mai piu' stata la stessa Visto che con i soldi ho cambiato posizione sociale Ecco quando tutto ha cominciato ad essere diverso Ora penso sempre a tutte le cose che ho Rimango abbagliato dal numero delle belle ragazze che incontro Incomincio a perdere la mia integrita' Ritornello Ci sono momenti nella vita in cui senti di dover smettere di combattere ed e' come se lo leggessi a chiare lettere sui muri Sei una superstar, finalmente ce l'hai fatta Ma non appena la tua immagine viene diffamata si parla di ascesa e caduta Non sono mai stato uno che alza casini In realta' non mi interessa nemmeno assecondare i fan Niente autografi, niente interviste, niente foto Richieste infinite Ho smesso con i vizi che erano chiaramente sbagliati Quelli che mi sembrava mi facessero stare cosi' bene Ma ci sono cose che scopri che potrebbero impossessarsi della tua vita Ho tagliato i ponti con il passato non vado piu' in nessun posto E non ho piu' un posto dove andare Mi hanno trovato in situazioni compromettenti Avrei dovuto imparare la lezione Per tutte quelle volte in cui non sono andato via Quando sapevo che era meglio andarmene E' troppo tardi per mostrarvi che forma ha il mio cuore? Ritornello Adesso so di aver commesso degli errori Credete che non me ne importi? Ma non avete idea di cio' che questo significhi per me Quindi concedetemi solo un'altra possibilita' Sono cambiato Cambiato Ritornello |
He deals
the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
I dream of
rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall
FRAGILE
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How many of
you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times do you swear that you'll never love again?
How many lonely sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to put yourself through all of that again?
'Love is pain, I hear you say
Love is a cruel and bitter way
Of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you when you were still together
You could be walking down the street and who should you chance to meet?
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide we'll swim across
Starting up a brand new day
It could happen to you, just like it happened to me
There's simply no immunity, there's no guarantee
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
[And sometimes your reflection is there]
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, wait a minute
We'll turn the clock to zero honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero mac
I'm begging her to take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero boss
The rivers wide, we'll swim across
Starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero buddy
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy
Starting up a brand new day
I'm the wiggle in your toe
I'm the sun and you're the moon
I'm a bat and you're the cave
[You're the beach and I'm the wave]
I'm the plough, and you're the land
You're the glove and I'm the hand
I'm the train and you're the station
I'm a flagpole to your nation, yeah
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
Starting up a brand new day...
I don't
drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If manners make the man as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If manners make the man as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
You could
say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse, but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
Yhey all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
But every time I close my eyes I see your face
I never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse, but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
ALL
FOR LOVE
(feat. Rod
Stewart & Bryan Adams)
(soundtrak
of "I tre moschettieri")
When it?s love you give,
I?ll be a man of good Faith.
Then love you?ll live,
I?ll make a stand, I won?t blink.
I?ll be the rock you can build on,
Be there when you?re old,
To have and to hold.
When there?s love inside,
I swear I?ll always be strong.
Then there?s a reason why
I?ll prove to you we belong.
I?ll be the world that protects you
From the wind and the rain,
From the hurt and the pain.
Let?s make it all for one, all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need.
?Cause when it?s all for one, it?s one for all.
When there?s someone that you know,
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one, all for love.
When it?s love you make,
I?ll be the fire in your night.
Then it?s love you take
I will defend I will fight
I?ll be there when you need me
When honor?s at stake,
This vow I will make:
That it?s all for one, all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need.
?Cause when it?s all for one, it?s one for all.
When there?s someone that you know,
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one, all for love.
Don?t lay our love to rest,
?Cause we could stand up to the test.
We?ve got everything and more that we had
planned,
More then the rivers that run the lands.
We?ve got it all in our hands.
Now it?s all for one, all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need.
?Cause when it?s all for one, it?s one for all.
When there?s someone that you know,
Then just let your feelings show
When there?s someone that you want
When there?s someone that you need
Let?s make it all, all for one, and all for love.
STRAIGHT
TO MY HEART
Well in a hundred years from now
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supercede the human kiss
A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize your brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance
But why ever should we care
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they're working far too much
For the redundancy of touch
But what will make me yours
Are a millions deadly spores
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
If it's a future would we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand
But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And fly straight to my heart
If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you
But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
