My Roots

Now my roots are gone so low
Won't be scared to heed that flow
It's not so easy to choose your way
The morning will come everyday 
And when at last you'll move your feet 
Than you'll realize... there's nothing else to need 

Than my roots became so strong
Due to all the times that I've been wrong
Was not so easy to let it slide
to persuade myself  i wasn't right
But music taught me to try again
Now i'm strong enuoght... and i got no pain 

My roots are gone so low
My roots became so strong 
I can't be' more sure 
My roots will brake the floor


My deeply roots let me feel on top
The story is written and it'll never stop
Every page of the book i wrote 
They can't be erased anymore 
I choose to stay by the other side
If you remember me...  i'm still alive !

At the end my roots talk about my rise
'Bout the streets i crossed and that was my prize 
It's not so easy to say I'm going 
i have to go 'coz the wind is blowing
I will follow many routes 
the wind will carry me back to my roots 

My roots are gone so low
My roots became so strong 
I can't be' more sure 
My roots will brake the floor ....

MY ROOTS

"Peter Bigfoot" talks about freedom.
No discrimination based on sex, race or religion.
This is the only way for evolution.

PETER BIGFOOT

Peter Bigfoot left his wife
Puts his heart on the line this time 
Peter never wears a Tie
Choose new rules to trick his mind 
Peter watched the world outside 
Hiding the wild parts of his mind 
Leaved the town for a plot o grass
making a clean break with the past 
No more noise, no more rule
Peter's never feel so blue

You got your nice shades on
and the worst days are gone
Be your self it sounds so cool
Don't get back Peter, it's just your groove
You've got nothing to loose! 

Peter bigfoot will never die
Listen here, now I tell you why

this crazy world you don't want belong
It’s gonna kill your dreams and spit you off 
But Peter choose to break it up
he run away before another slump 
Peter Bigfoot takes his time....


You got your nice shades on
and the worst days are gone
Heed your dreams and change your life
Don't get back Peter this is the time
Just keep your self alive! 

You gotta a new reborn 
Nothing could get wrong
Be your self it sounds so cool
Don't get back Peter, it's just your groove
You've got nothing to loose!

You got your nice shades on
and the worst days are gone
Sitting  on a banch smoking a spliff 
Peter don't care if the world adrift 
You've got nothing to loose!

You got your nice shades on
and the worst days are gone
Be your self it sounds so cool
Don't get back Peter, it's just your groove
You've got nothing to loose! 

You got your nice shades on
and the worst days are gone
Be your self it sounds so cool
Don't get back Peter, it's just your groove
You've got something to loose! 

Peter doesn't shaves his hair 
Now it's not much like a man

Lyrics:

Has already taken all her things inside
I found out that it will do me wrong
Maybe I will write another song
Now we have really nothing to hide
Leaving the world behind

On the wall the hash dance like a shadow
It sims so strange to be here again
I won't run away 'cause it's too strain
as the room shrinks around my sorrow
It lemme down sinking into my dreams

She promised she'd be right there with me
A casket left on shelves gathering dust
I'm making a deep jump in to the past
Although I thought my roots were deep
I remove the first stone of the house I built

Rit.
light is sneaking' through the window
You keep firing glances 'cross the room
Night just left a wrinkled pillow
My hart is gone: this was his doom

Music & Lyrics by Daniele Cortese

Yellow car


Molly bought a new yellow car
Wants to drive away from her nasty man
He told her she could be a star
When she came in town and had she a plan

The yellow car gots hot fiery Wheels
Her man waked up all alone
She stole the money by last night's bill
The man is howlin but molly is gone

Knocks and shout and knocks again

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange
Molly is a late-blooming flower
less apt to suffer frost damage
Drive trought the north, she has no owner

Knocks and shout and knocks again

She drive so fast still the mornig come

The yellow car gots cozy seats
Need a nap but a bed is not so close
Now pull the brakes, Molly please!

Knocks and shouts and knocks again
Knocks the Hood but knocks in vain

Music & Lyrics by Daniele Cortese

This Song talks about Robert Johnson...

I can not write down the fact
But I'm sure that i can tell you
Was very dark and cold last night
There was no moonlight down in
greenwood

Was bobby, Sonny and me
We were there to play hard
The owner's gal was so sweet with us
I know she stole the Bobby's heart

You've just choose to sold your soul 
For a punch of cursed notes
Papa is here to claims back his fee
The blues just comes as the blues is gone

I said to bobby: &quot;don&#39;t miss around!
'Coz last week he told me true
He was pursuite by an hell hound
It was the price for get the blues

While Sonny was still on stage
Bobby dranks like no tomorrow
The owner's gal was Bobby's cage
The wine was there to get back the borrow

And it just keeps getting harder
If you don't care about who you are
Bobby was a milion time larger
More then all the other stars

You've just choose to sold your soul 
For a punch of cursed notes
Papa is here to claims back his fee
The blues just comes as the blues is gone

Little Bobby fell on his knees
Howling like a crazy dog
The gal was so hot and sweet
But the blues was on the floor

Tony was a brother... this is just one of our adventures!


Lyrics:

Tony was looking for a new tourntable
whit a magic pin 
The man of the shop putting some cookies
on the desk tell him to come in

Tony tasted, he got wasted, couldn't even
see
What happend in that crazy shop is not still
clear to me.

Turnin' around...

It's always a good idea ti invest in better
sound
The man said placing a speaker on
the ground

The tourntable started to run and tournig
fast fast fast
Tony fell in the vortex and his
soul bounced in his cest.

Turnin' Around...

The cookies were so hot and Tony gets one
more
The man suddenly disappear
Tony gets lost in the vortex so the party just
starts in

Turnin' Around...
