Un po' di poesia?

Ciao! Lo devo fare... sono giù e devo scrivere qualche strofa delle mie canzoni/poesie preferite... al limite mi cancellate! :D

Nijinsky Heart (Almond/Faber)

I need to express my heart
and face my destiny
there's an agile dancer
waiting inside of me

At the supermarket
I'd spin down the isle
to pirouette and grand jeté with
style

Won't you help me
give me a chance
to be a god of dance
and let this firebird go

And set free
my Nijinsky heart

I'd bloom like an exotic flower
as I reach out for the light
illuminated wings and stars
bursting out from inside

The orchestration swells
the strings ascend and so do I
I'm a force of nature
from a spark of fire

But each time I try to dance
I stumble and fall
help me to co-ordinate
I can't dance at all

Please show me
my Nijinsky heart...

Cabaret Clown (Almond)

Drawing your curtains
and locking the door
TV dinner for one
you're alone as before

Do you leave on the greasepaint
to cover the tears
does it hold the illusion
of your star lit years

Self parody and bathos
deluded belief
like the blackest of comedies
ending in grief

Where was the pathos
and where was the man
just a cabaret clown
in a Vaudeville sham

I'll be seeing you round
Cabaret Clown
when there's no one around

Where was the voice
that thrilled me to bits
where were the show stoppers
where were the hits

You hanged the arrangements
performance so cruel
where was my hero
there now stands a fool

And what the hell
did you do to your face
can't you let in the grey
and grow old with grace

You're a freak and a fraud
with contempt for your crowd
so beautifully bitter
so painfully proud

Too much blind pride
to admit when you're wrong
envious of others
you messed up your song

Yes I know the clown's story
the clichés the same
with you smile on the outside
inside you're in pain

So behind the locked door
with your dinner for one
do you forget the lyrics
to most of your songs

When I look at the pantomime
what do I see
like a mirror of truth
staring back I see...

My madness and I (Almond/Withmore)

My madness floods in like
the tide
flowing over my mind
and I'll drown if I cry
where will we go
when I'm sad and alone
and I'm sick in my soul
my madness and I

My madness draws in like
the night
yet so strangely light
in so many ways
when I don't know you
forget that you know me
will it my guide
and show me the way

Dark angels
gliding over the sky
Black ravens
they dare me to fly
dark clouds
passing over my mind
where will we go
my madness and I

Where will we go
when my mind starts to snow
and I'm mad and alone
in my tower block home
each hour is a day
with nothing to do
in touch with the gods
but not with you

Dark angels
gliding over the sky
they're calling me
up very high
now falling
they dare me to try
where will we go
my madness and I

Where will it take me
my madness to places I cry
and no one to confide
will it set free those feelings
I locked up in secret to die
with so much to hide

Will we be lovers
will we be friends
where will we go
and how will it ends
my madness and I...

Sin song (Almond/Cashmore)

The doors are locked
the building falls
the music fades away
who are you
and who am I
and who cares anyway

We own nothing
just passing through
like ghosts of the light
who was I
and who were you
just ships passing in the night

Here's to the end of everything
the last song I'll ever sing
a last drink as the curtain falls
all illusion after all

SO DRINK UP
AND EAT ALL
LOVE NOW
WE HAVE NO FUTURE
SPEND QUICK
LIVE FAST
F..K YOU
WE'RE ALL DOOMED

Sin Song
I'm singing a sin song
don't care if it's wrong
I'm singing it loud and strong

Avarice, lust, envy, greed
all the friends you'll ever need
pride and wrath, and gluttony
everything you wanted to be
excessive wealth

Genetic manipulation
Poverty
Environmental pollution
Drug trafficking
Dealing, and consumption
Morally debatable experiments
Violation of human rights

Forget chastity, temperance or
diligence
forget charity, diligence or
temperance
Patience
Kindness
Humility
never meant much
to you and me

All I need is a glittery curtain
to sing a cheap but potent song
on a small wooden stage
at the back of a bar

To feel like I belong
to stand in front of a glittery
curtain
to sing my sad song

Of one thing that I'm certain
that's where I belong
don't need no big band
don't need no orchestration

To lend me a helping hand
to give me elevation
to make me sound expensive
or to lift my sweet and
simple song

Just a glittery curtain
and a small wooden stage
at the back of a bar
that's where I belong

Sin Song
I'm singing a sin song
until everything's gone
and I hope you'll sing along

CIAO, GRAZIE, che fatica, non ho mica usato il copia/incolla...
IO "AMO" QUEST UOMO!!!!!!

Ciao ciao!!!
