I COULD HELP IF YOU WANTED

I could help if you wanted

Don't let me fall into your eyes
Don't let me call your name
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
You do it if you want to
I don't feel like going out
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could glow if you lit me
And you could melt into my eyes
I'd cup my hands when you were close to me
And I would let you fall
Steady like Sundays and pigeons
And we'll fill the bottles with wishes

Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad
Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad

Don't let me fall into your eyes
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
Don't let me call your name
[Listen really hard]
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
You do it if you want to
[Listen really hard]
I don't feel like going out
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could help if you wanted
I could help if you wanted

I Could Help If You Wanted

This was made on the occasion of being unexpectedly called back to full time work after some years of delicious semi-retirement.

Why Must We Toil

Piero Caniparo: guitars, guitar synth, mix
Donatella Basilico: vox, keys, drums, lyrics
Feat. Bruno Torre on bass guitar

I ARRIVE

WITH MY SOFT AND ELEGANT WAY TO PROCEED

 AND I'VE LONG AND SHARP TEETH

I'M ELEGANT, THIN AND VERY KIND

I HAVE LONG AND TREMBLING FINGERS,

AGILE AND FRANTIC LIKE INSECTS' ANTENNAE.



YOU WERE SITTING ALONE, LOOKING AT YOUR SOUL,

FLAILING WITHOUT HOPE IN THE PUDDLE OF YOUR LIFE

SHE ARRIVED WITHOUT A SOUND

SHE SEEEMED NOT TO TOUCH THE GROUND

     AND  SITTING BY YOUR SIDE

SHE TALKED WHISPERING TO YOU



HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO UNDERSTAND  AND FACE

YOU'LL FIX IN YOUR HEAD, SHE SAID, YOU HAVE BEEN ALWAYS ALONE

FIX IT IN YOUR HEAD , SHE SAID, YOU ARE ALWAYS ALONE


THEN SHE SAT BESIDE YOU,

GENTLY FORCING YOUR DEFENCE

MAKING YOU CONFIDE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF

YOU FELT GLAD AND THANKFUL FOR THIS

SHE BEGAN TO MOVE ALL YOUR THINGS

AND SLEEPING IN YOUR BED

SHE KEPT ON REPEATING


HOW LONG WILL YOU TAKE TO REALIZE

THERE'S NOBODY BY YOUR SIDE 

'CAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS ALONE




FINALLY ONE DAY YOU ASKED HER WHAT SHE REALLY WANTED

SHE SHOWED  LONG AND CUTTING TEETH, SHE REVEALED A MONSTRUOUS BITE,

THE SAME INSTANT YOU FELT YOUR CLAWS AND SOMETHING SHARP IN YOUR MOUTH


 ARE YOU STILL INSIDE THERE?

IS STILL YOU INSIDE YOURSELF?

HOW MUCH DID YOU CHANGE

HOW MUCH LINGERS OF YOU FROM THAT TIME?

WHAT LIFE TORE AWAY FROM YOU,                                             

HOW IT CHANGED YOU IN YOUR SHADOW,

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE INSIDE ,

WHAT'S REMAINING OF YOUR SOUL?

YOUR SOUL,YOUR SOUL, YOUR SOUL                                 REPEAT


HEY YOU, IS STILL ME, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO I REALLY AM, THEN?

ME  WITH MY TREMBLING FINGERS?

I'M NOT REAL, I'M NOT TOUCHABLE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME, YOU ONLY CAN MAYBE

IN SOME FLEEING FLASH OF YOUR LIFE GRASP SOMETHING OF ME IN A GLIMPSE OF 

AWARENESS.

MY FRIEND, I'M NOTHING ELSE THAN A VOICE, THE VOICE, THE ONE YOU'VE 

ALWAYS KNOWN,

 YOUR VOICE,  YOUR DESTINY, THE TRUTH, THE ONE 

YOU ARE AFRAID OF ,YOUR SOLITUDE, YOUR 

USELESSNESS, YOUR EMPTYNESS, YOU ARE MEANINGLESS, ONLY A PRODUCT

OF CLASHING CELLS

I'M YOUR  DEATH,  YOUR DUST, YOUR END....I'M YOU,  AND YOU ARE ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME...........

MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND,MY FRIEND.........

YOU AND ME feat. Bruno Torre on bass guitar

Save The Nature, and leave a good planet for future generations!

Earth Asks For Help

Been a while.............

The light it never comes
Even with eyes open wide
Though all of you are all around
Isolation swells inside

CH: I feel that pain
That I must face alone
I have this shame
That I must face alone
The Anguish Drains
And I must face alone
Thoughts never change
That I must face alone

I don't recognize myself
So how can you all see
The distance that I feel
Though I've everything round me

CH

Just that thought or simple word
You were unafraid to call
Helped shine a light inward
And I stood a little tall

CH2: And you're reaching out
And I am not alone
You take this hand
And I am not alone
You hear my voice
And I am not alone
There is a choice
And I am not alone

Alone (You Are Not)

CARPENTER

This is a re-recording of an old song of our old band from the early 90s. I couldn't convince our singer @user-20931549 to sing on it yet (or any other member to record their parts), so all done by myself few years ago, for now as an instrumental. Anyway, I like it ;-)
