Frogs, lemons, sea (free) 04:20
FROGS, LEMONS, SEA What if I suddenly woke up one day feeling something is not quite the same? What if I walk through that wall, knowing I could grew mountains out of my hands? I’d tie the sea to that elephant’s tail and let the ocean move slowly away. What if I want to defrost some galaxy’s heart and bring it down here to light up the desert at night? And then I would name again every town war lords won’t know where to throw all their bombs. I could take all dinosaur’s bones, fuse them together and create a gigantic sun clock. I’d turn those stupid fairy tales off turning princes again into frogs Trains will fly Over your house follow the zippers through this field of violins and you’ll find out what this is about. A lemon river will run down the hill I snap my fingers and it will stand still. What if I followed flying saucers across every cloud leaving the seagulls behind? Come set the coloured pencils on fire and make those two lonely planets collide. Come smell the strawberry wind, open your parachute, we’re moving so fast, we’re shouting like shooting-stars do. CHORUS we’re moving so fast the witches are on my side we plant this hurricane all around the spell is on

Sad Cars (free) 04:05
SAD CARS Sad cars are trembling on their blue march. Sidewalks lost their way four times today A ring bell keeps howling at this firelight, whose heart of green has been switched off again. One leaf falls from above, right here where you should have been. And the traffic is stopped, it rains on the steering wheels This long street is turning grey as I speak, dust everywhere: past times are rough to watch. Buildings wait quietly for my sign, not knowing my blood runs in stone, like theirs. One leaf falls from above right here where you should have been And the traffic is stopped it rains on the steering wheels There is nothing moving forward There is nothing moving forward Sad cars are now trembling on their blue march like ghosts. Sidewalks lost their way five times today. This building here waits for my sign to start and burst into flames, not knowing I’ve become a stone-winged bird. One leaf falls from above, right here where you should have been And the traffic is stopped; it rains on the steering wheels There is nothing moving forward There is nothing moving forward But I’m staring at the sun…

Now that I come to you (free) 04:29
NOW THAT I COME TO YOU At last, I return your call and after a drink or two we’re there: on that wide frontier where friendship loses its own name. It’s not late, if your hand still fits on my waist and I remember you don’t like hotels, while you sing out my favourite song again, again… Now that I come to you instead Now that I come to you instead When morning kills all phantoms, things turn white and black The coffee is cold, and words are tasteless, like this glass It’s too late if we go and close every open door. I did wrong and you can’t forgive me or maybe it’s the other way round. Who cares, who cares…? Now that I come to you instead Now that I come to you instead… Now, kisses, like goldfish, can’t breath in the air.

RADIO SAYS EVERYTHING’S OK When the lights all went out I was lying awake in my bed. Then I heard that harsh sound as if the ground would break. Neighbours were out screaming I took shelter under my sheets. Mother came and grabbed me, telling me we should be brave, and wait and see… Radio says everything’s ok, everything’s just fine but what the hell would they now Phones were dead, our tv set was only reflecting my distorted face. And the radio we found kept saying “everything’s ok”. Mother went outside where the skyline was lit up with flames. Air was hot when I shouted “Mother we’re going to be brave, as you said” Radio says everything’s ok, everything’s just fine but what the hell would they now That was the first time I knew they were wrong we stayed outside with no radio we stayed outside with no radio

On foot (free) 04:21
ON FOOT This train I took is unsteady wagons now squeak; through the window everything has stopped. This is how it all begins: the path is there, and somehow wheels have gone out of their own rails. If I, I, If I had not woken up could still believe in really happy endings. If I, I, If I fell in love again… That cannot be, I’m done with that. I’m done with that… with that… I’m done This train I took was tricky I thought it was for free, but it is so expensive I won’t repeat This is how it all begins: you find yourself on foot miles ahead until you get somewhere. If I, I, If I fell in love again could still believe in really happy endings. If I, I, If I fell in love again… If I fell in love again… That cannot be, I’m done with that. I’m done with that… with that… I’m done

Wintertime (free) 03:26
WINTERTIME Wintertime is changing winds; all birds do know this is no time to fly. Roads are going on under these dying waves; a satellite shuts down. But if you’re here to fall, then I will fall too It’s cold a heart that has already closed the hatch both to mermaids and sharks. You can call my name You can call my name You dive along a wreck so deep, all things have drowned: it’s all you see these days. But hearts can swim like salmons do, against the flow, just following their lane. If you’re here to fall, then I will fall too No love should become a death wound; regardless that, some do it anyway. You can call my name You can call my name You dive along a wreck so deep, all things have drowned: it’s all you see these days. But hearts can swim like salmons do, against the flow, just following their lane If you’re here to fall, then I will fall too No love should become a death wound, but regardless that, some do it anyway. You can call my name You can call my name

Limbo (free) 03:36
LIMBO This swamp where we spent the nights is pouring out the smell of lost arms sunk down there; tents are hidden on this foggy powder wind. We sleep, but we don’t dream; those rifles by our side are cold companions now. This battle’s lasting more than what we’re meant to live. Hot spreads, as insects fly; they’re big like hands, they seem to understand this place and to know why they choose left or right. We sit and chat, trying not to think, ‘cause if you look around, you’ll scream. Just pretend that you’re not here, where we’re not meant to live. This day may be the last day we will crawl as lizards along this limbo. This day may be the last one we’ll lie in wait wondering what we’re looking for. We sit and chat, trying not to think, ‘cause if you look around, you’ll scream. Just pretend that you’re not here, where we’re not meant to live. This day may be the last day we will crawl as lizards along this limbo. This day may be the last one we’ll lie in wait wondering what we’re looking for. This day may be the last day that we crawl This limbo may be the last den of all.

We had a dozen dreams (free) 04:43
WE HAD A DOZEN DREAMS Way back, eves-dropping adults, I heard a disturbing advice: “Don’t fall asleep; a dream, like an apple, is born green but one day crashes down” We had a dozen dreams that crave for limits to smash we had a dozen dreams with liquid arrows meant to fly We had a dozen dreams I can’t remember none of them We had a dozen dreams… Landing gets so gently that we may not notice we’re arriving so fast What bloomed then, now lies about, like some defeated balloons full of dust We had a dozen dreams that crave for limits to smash we had a dozen dreams with liquid arrows meant to fly We had a dozen dreams I can’t remember none of them We had a dozen dreams that crystallized in our hands tougher than bones… Blind scars have grown instead. We had a dozen dreams…

Hands on a waterfall (free) 05:06
HANDS ON A WATERFALL It rains when I get to the river shore, then I just stopped the car. I go out and walk, my feet clap on the wet grass, a lightning strikes. This is the day when I don’t have a clue This is me feeling not sure Why do elm-trees look so firm? Why do they seem so dignified? They’re just growing things and eventually they will lie on the ground. This is the day when I don’t have a clue This is me feeling not sure This is the day when I can’t really know This is me feeling all wrong Some thunder blast, clouds above laugh; on the verge of a waterfall, I’m standing now All that noise makes me shake It’s the place, it’s the time, it feels ok, it feels all right With my hands on a waterfall everything starts. This is the day when I don’t have a clue and yet this is me feeling that good This is the day when I can’t really know and yet this is me feeling that strong All things beat and shine, all things beat and shine See them beat and shine, see them beat and shine …
