Dentro L'Africa di Flavio Pozzaglio Absolutely Live

Dentro l’africa testo e Musica di Flavio Pozzaglio   

Sole bruci su un deserto amico
Trasformando civiltà
Fuoco arde dentro a un cerchio strano
In un culto di magia
Quanti riti mi confondono
Danze e tenebre non so
Ho cambiato già in un attimo 
La mia pelle ....................

Sole io t’inseguo all'orizzonte
Tra le nuvole più in la
Cavalcando verso la mia mente
Cavalcando un'pò più in la
Quanti riti mi confondono
Danze e tenebre non so
Ho cambiato già in un attimo 
La mia pelle

Sto seguendo un suono strano
Ballo al ritmo dei tam tam
E i tuoi occhi piano piano
Si confondono nei miei
E tendendomi la mano
Mi trascini via con te
son come calamitato dalla tua pelle scura sai
M'accarezzi piano piano
e dopo un bacio non so più
assorbito da un richiamo me ne vado via 

Con te ....me ne volo via .........dentro l'Africa così
con te... nei ricordi io..........notti insonni passerà
con te.....dentro un sogno mio.....ripensandoti laggiù
con te ... che non sei più mia.....ti rivoglio qui

ti rivoglio qui con me 
ti rivoglio qui
ti rivoglio qui con me

Inside Africa text and music by Flavio Pozzaglio

Sun burns on a friendly desert Transforming civilisation Fire burns inside a strange circle In a cult of magic How many rites confuse me Dances and darkness I don't know I've already changed in an instant My skin ....................

Sun I chase you to the horizon In the clouds further on Riding towards my mind Riding a little further on How many rites confuse me Dances and darkness I don't know I changed my skin already in a moment

I'm following a strange sound I'm dancing to the rhythm of the tam tam And your eyes slowly merge into mine And holding out your hand You drag me away with you I'm drawn to your dark skin you know You caress me slowly and after a kiss I don't know I'm absorbed by a call I go away

With you .... I fly away .........into Africa so with you... in memories I.......... sleepless nights will pass with you.....in a dream of mine.....thinking of you down there with you ... that you are no longer mine.....I want you back here

I want you back here with me I want you back here I want you back here with me

Storie

Dentro L'Africa di Flavio Pozzaglio

A man with a mission, like in the books you have read. (Lyrics below credits)

Words & Music: Graham Williams
Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass & Percussion: Graham Williams

Our story begins many years ago,
On a moonlit night with the street lamps aglow
Enter a stranger, a tall man indeed,
He emerged from the station, looking hungry and lean,
Some saw him heading for the central cafe,
And later at the cemetery kneeling down to pray,
He continued his journey as the rain started down,
Not taking shelter like some misguided clown,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

He stopped only once to wring out his scarf,
Looking this way and that with a furtive glance,
Then in a phone booth he made a two minute call,
To whom, we must ponder the significance of it all,
He continued his journey and glanced at his watch,
The meaning was clear, no time to be lost,
So he quickened his pace looking up for a sign,
He was searching for something that can't be defined,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

He was approaching the dark house when events took a turn,
The man had to stop, maybe some doubts had returned,
He checked in his pockets to see if it was there,
But before he could be certain a sound shook the air,
It was the dead of the night when he witnessed the crime,
Though he thought he was mistaken and had misread the signs,
He heard several voices from the pool room inside,
But the shot that he heard was obscured by the 9:09,

And he kept on walking right down the road,
His collar turned up his face never showed,
All of the time he stared straight ahead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

A car headlight cast his shadow on a wall,
Though you couldn't see it then his face told it all,
There where signs he was weary and nearing his goal,
But alas there's no end to this story being told,
Where did he go on that miserable night?
Was he travelling with intent or running in flight?
All that we know is what we read the next day,
A man in his prime found dead on the highway,

He's no longer walking right down the road,
But his collar's turned up his face never shown,
All of the time he still stared but was dead,
A man with a mission, like in the books you have read,

They looked in his pockets but could find no ID,
Just a man with a mission who died mysteriously,
They looked in his pockets but could find no ID,
Just a man with a mission who died mysteriously.

Fog and Droplets 2.9.24 - Andrew Steck

This is a song for my Mary, but it is applicable to all Mary's. 

This is my first attempt at recording new material since last summer, I've been writing and playing a lot, but I just haven't had the time lately to get my ideas on tape. So it's nice to get this one out, and hopefully, it'll not be as long a wait for my next. 

Thanks for all the listens and support, it's greatly appreciated as always. cheers!

lyrics

don't let the world dictate to you
be your own girl
in a world that's you

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your time 

don't let the world
loose from your grasp
come up for air
whenever you get the chance 

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your 
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your time

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
don't listen to the boys 
they all screaming that it's true

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
but there's nobody out there
can do you as good as you

so don't let the world
edit out your past
look back with pride 
and don't
catapult so fast

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your 
wasting all your 
wasting all your time

Time, For Mary

Quirky indie-pop. One of my earliest lyrics from way back. Music by James T, session vocals, pro demo. Copyright 2007 Jay Rich and James T. 

The story behind this is strange... I sent the lyric to 6 potential co-writers, with 5 either not responding or saying 'too quirky, uninspiring' etc. But I liked it so pitched it to a 6th - James, who went on to become a music teacher. He loved it and gave me a great tune straight away, so I had the song pro demoed... The moral being stick to your guns if you think something works and ignore the naysayers!  What do they know anyway...🙄Lyrics below:

                  Tokyo, Tokyo

V1:

I got a yen for the sushi and a geisha in kimono
Chopsticks, karate, and judo at the dojo
Then I saw a samurai who told me his bushido
He said if I was up to it he'd show me some aikido
Next I met a sensei who offered me a bonsai tree

Lift:

He harboured an ambitious plan
To make me a top fighting man
A Nippon-style Chan or Lee
Like a sumo wrestler in a gi

Ch1:

Tokyo, Tokyo, find where to go in Tokyo
Catch a show in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a lot of fun
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone

V2:

Unless you're the Lone Ranger you could be courting danger
But there are worse places for unwary strangers
Once I faced a mugger on the streets of Calcutta
He tried to steal my pocket book
I gave him such a dirty look
Because I know my kendo I hit him with a cane bo (stick)

Lift:

But not my oriental sword
He was my makiwara board
It hasn't happened in Japan
For that I feel a lucky man

Ch2:

Tokyo, Tokyo, the lights are low in Tokyo
Take it slow in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a lot of fun
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone

Bridge:

Now Tokyo's a busy city buzzing with high energy
Tall towers, ferris wheel, zen tranquillity
Rainbow Bridge for sightseeing
Venus Fort and doll museum
Puffer fish, a gourmet dish, and all the kaiso you could wish
Dazzled by the neon signs
Sozzled on the sake wine
I came in on the bullet train
Narita flies me out again
Narita flies me out again
Out again

Ch3:

Tokyo, Tokyo, feel the glow in Tokyo
There's rarely snow in Tokyo
The land of the rising sun is really such a pretty one
I love it so much that I'm gonna tell everyone

In My Soul

( για τους επόμενους )
Without foreplay
Fuck the judges
We will go against it!
While the clear ones are spinning,
Their blue ones are twisted and shoved under the court ...
Eternal as groot,
But we still need soil...
Have you ever known here what a riot is, and what it will be...
Octopus after octopus; a cycle of destruction;
"Open your bags, show your hands;
That's the greenie zip,
If we had Islam, we would be armless."

Do not solder this abyss
By big actions,
Hunger cannot be appeased with cereals,
Minds cannot be awakened by corpses,
Now you are on telescopes
under magnifying glasses;
Running under bullets, intrigues of murder - the picture of the century ...
for years in the womb until it bursts.
Bullion Stacks
Bodies in the furnace
Construction sites and traffic jams 
Strings and bits are long
Slim as a
ghettoboy "What's wrong with you"

Steadfast as Zarathustra,
Alex and Abubakar Salim are fused together;
I am from the very origins,
Peoples kneading is thick,
The servants of the narrow are empty in their souls...
Tied to the main flaw of the world
And as luck would have it, it was impossible to choose;
They won't break me or us anyway 
Clans of squalid old freaks,
Bloodthirsty men and women, grandfathers and babies...
ass owners do not share with everyone, only with the guys who warm themselves in their bed.
Anti-Semites and gays
According to the work in the media
About family values,
Turn around bitches! This Sin is also being molded on you.

If there was a god, he would have been resurrected long ago
And bombs wouldn't fly to Odessa...
I've been fucking the system for years,
I'm a veteran here.
Ibuprofen Pallets;
I'm going to the beats again for something...
"..What if the tickets go missing?.."
And we are wrapped in a pool,
Flying from the waterfall
And there are no shoots nearby,
And there's nowhere to drop the anchor,
I am the fifth Avenger since the beginning,
Paranoia guards: "there is a raid everywhere ...",
And So there is little Air,
With me, only maself is next to me..,
There are corpse rows in my head,
They begged for mercy;
Today you are red everywhere, you are not welcome everywhere...
and I would like to serenade my muses in Naples...

The vipers still have their pockets full
Evening, 9 pm, windows are closed, but I'm catching space signals,
Stories arise from the void...
I run when I have the authority,
I'm healing my head with lines,
Who calls where on a sunny day? ..,
I think I'll spend it with my daughters.
A Bedouin in the desert, there are not even two of us..;
I'm building sand castles, everything is new in the morning ...
A couple of exploits count,
I can see right through the Goldfields...
don't forget it's dangerous to be close,
You won't notice and they'll squeeze you.
A relative of Kingston;
Layers of snow ice and mud in me;
The remaining risk is substantial,
Everyone was warned in advance,
".Was it not enough for six in the morning and a handful of faggots
with amazed witnesses?.."
If it weren't for the beats and if it weren't for you..;
Killed so much in yourself..;
And from now on everything is different,
Better get the clip ready,
I wanted to build my own emirate,
I was kind of glad,
But things quickly went downhill,
Jumpcut and again that totalitarian apparatus;
I'm not a collaborator, but there are gods.,
To whom the mic would have passed;
And we will lay a melody of paradise in your ears,
It's not for the labels and it's not for the money.,
The notes are eternal,
Live carelessly,
Don't be the same,
Have a core,
Mon ami,
Take care of the locals,
Feed the poor,
Fight the demons,
Either alone or with those,
Don't run from the shadows,
Tear down the walls!
-
We're from the vagina to the grave 
We fly with the wind of balida...

It wasn't as lucky as Ishmael.
With these waves I have
Obsession, like pe***il's.
Cold as Antarctica in summer;

Rockets, planets, the cult of hunger - what are we talking
about When wars are still going on,
When do people warm instant noodles..?

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All 40 listed hugely varied songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2024. There are also a number of concept video links in the describe your track section, plus many more songs unposted due to SC's free page limitations. I also have a truly massive backlog of lyrics constantly being added to, with influences too many to list. This being so, feel free to hit me up for collaborations (I write both to and without music) but be aware I only write for fun and challenge; I'm no industry wannabe and never plan to be.

Finally, please do not 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It won't be reciprocated and I will block you. The prima donnas here are tedious and you know who you are. Ditto the bots that 'like' a track the instant it's uploaded. Soundcloud, you need to do a better clean-up job here, please take note... Overall though thanks for a very useful and generally friendly platform.👍
