Giotto Beat

Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!1
 
We're slow lenses2, we need a photokit.
We pass the buck without any prospect 3:
[Or any perspective, we are as flat as] 8-bit Donkey Kong.
We need an 'acchord'4: let's call Vladimir Horowitz
Before a bald guy wearing a fez5 does another blitzkrieg.
Our problem is the falling [share prices], think about it Cassel6
We'd need an old song: play it Sam!
Lambretta, Fiat 500, the surf craze:
[Now] we're in 500 people queueing out of the drug counseling.
[Now] we're more resigned, more doubtful, poorer, more anesthetized
Than a patient in recovery room.
[We were] born with the Italian economic boom myth
[And we] died under the BTP7/BUND8 spread.
Do prick up your ears like Legolas, Orlando Bloom9
I want the brick dance back10,
I turn my back but I...
...I find myself on a brick11 playing Wii [Fit]
Hot coals barefoot, I must get outta there:
I got knocked down, but I get up [as] Mohammed Alì!
 
I need a prospect - as in the 60s - and a radio singing 'ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!'
I need a prospect, a new point of view: the eye doctor told me so: Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!
I need a prospect, [somehwere] in between of who's right and who's wrong: I need a third dimension: 'ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!'
I need a perspective as Giotto's paintings12, as who's beaten down during the G8!
Giotto Beat! (Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!)
Giotto Beat! (Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!)
 
We need fliming uptick and stability:
Steadycam.
I want to wake up there,
In Italy just after the IIWW:
Everyone went to the seaside during the weekend,
No smut aired on TV,
Lieutenant Sheridan13
Cheers, President Saragat14!
You go ahead and hope:
We burn it down to ashes as hemp!
Under the sun wearing a Panama hat.
We'll shot [each other] down but
We'll have a fistful of air in return as in Galaga15.
The electoral circus is more like a criminal show,
Now we just have to philosophize like Schopenauer.
And I do not even know who I should get ruled by:
I see circuses but I see no bread16: [go and] tell it to Iuvenalis!
This reality is not for me, like a Fabergé17
I go on by just dead reckoning, [following the scent] as a sommelier with Cabernet.
I'd like to dance the Ye[ah!] Ye[eah!] spinning aroung the Piper Club18
[As the] loading pointer on a Mac!
 
I need a prospect - as in the 60s - and a radio singing 'ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!'
I need a prospect, a new point of view: the eye doctor told me so: Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!
I need a prospect, [somehwere] in between of who's right and who's wrong: I need a third dimension: 'ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!'
I need a perspective as Giotto's paintings12, as who's beaten down during the G8!
Giotto Beat! (Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!)
Giotto Beat! (Ye[ah] ye[ah], ye[ah] ye[ah]!)
 
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
I don't know it, guys!
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
I whish it was [an] easy [question to answer].
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
I'm just a singer!
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
I'm just complaining!
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
[You shall] not pay the value-added taxes!
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
[You shall] accept an undeclared job.
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
Forgive me, Pasolini.
Tell us which is [the right] prospect[, then]!
Giotto Beat!

Interesting Woman





Do you know what trucks are for?
Do you know why there are stars and constellations?
That I don't know, I only know
that it's very interesting.
 

Do you know why planes fly?
Do you know why I have to write songs?
That I don't know, I only know
that it's very interesting.
 

Stars are there for you to see them shine
Trucks and Trains, to see them pass by
Songs are to say
that everything is interesting,
everything is very interesting.
 

Do you know why you have to go to the bathroom?
Do you know why we work all year?
That I don't know, I only know
that it can be interesting.
 

Do you know what Martians eat?
Do you have an idea of what's inside of a piano?
That, I will know and be able to
become interesting
 

With work and the bathroom you can kill time,
You have to talk about Martians and pianos,
with time you can be
an interesting man,
or an interesting woman,
someone very interesting
 

But if some day I get bored (cha-la-la-la)
and I lose all interest,
if I don't ask more questions (cha-la-la-la)
abandoning knowledge
 

That would also be interesting. (cha-la-la-la)
an interesting matter, (cha-la-la-la)
because I'm very interesting, (cha-la-la-la)
the interesting woman, (cha-la-la-la)
the interesting woman, (cha-la-la-la)
the interesting woman, (cha-la-la-la)
(cha-la-la-la)

Movin' on without you





Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
 

3 o'clock am in the middle of the night, with a PHS at my bedside
I'm waiting for it to ring, aren't I a fool?
The bell of the clock rings, just like in a fairy tale
But it doesn't matter if I find any glass slippers
 

If caring about me is troublesome, hurry up and tell me
I don't have that kind of time to waste
I'm movin' on without you
 

I can't pretend that I don't know about your alibi for playing around anymore
And to think of all the memories we had together
 

It wasn't supposed to end up being painful, why?
I guess it's still too early to pretend to be a good girl
 

Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
 

Even though the lines I had prepared were perfect
The signal still isn't reaching, it's 4 in the morning
On this all too quiet night, my thoughts start to run wild
I get it, and yet I end up sleep deprived
 

I've already forgotten those promises
I'll give back the ring, so give back my heart
I have to go without you
 

Since it's frustrating, I'll break us up
It's not easy to pretend to be a good girl
 

It wasn't supposed to end up being painful, why?
I guess it's still too early to pretend to be a good girl
 

I don't care if I'm confused, I want you to love me
Even if you won't say it, I want you to understand
 

It wasn't supposed to end up being painful, why?
I guess it's still too early to pretend to be a good girl

I think





Ajá Ajá Ajá.
 

I think
that giving an opinion is necessary
because I am intelligent
and that's why I'm always opinionated.
 

I think
that if I say aloud a thought
that comes to my head
I'm doing social criticism.
 

I think
about the human and the divine
and sometimes I say wisely:
'My opinion is to have an opinion'.
 

I think
that the government is in the right
and also wrong
depending on what side.
 

I think (ajá)
I think (mjm)
I think (ajá)
I think (ajá)
 

I think
with judgement and eloquence
and I never ask for mercy
if they accuse me of dementia.
 

I think
because I read newspapers
and I read them every day
to keep having opinions.
 

I think
without knowing how to read or write
I'll never know my opinion
But I'm very opinionated.
 

I think
 

with respect to your person
and I'd give my life
defending your opinion.
 

I think (mjm)
I think (ajá)
I think (ajá)
I think (ajá)
 

I think (ajá)
I think (mjm)
I think (ajá)
 

I think (ajá)
 

That's what I think.

The Danger Zone





If you don't say goodbye to me
Then that means this love isn't over, right?
You scoundrel... using grown up tricks, huh...
He'll entrance me back with a single exhalation
My crush on you has blindfolded my heart
I'm not sure that we should go much farther...
 

I want to go back (to who I once was) , but I can't... My feelings are upside down
My love staggers too close to the danger zone
We can still play around because we're safe for now
It would be nice if I could love someone else
But that's something I just can't do... no further discussion
 

Even the shadows pull me in for some reason
Now, I know what you meant
I have a feeling you're thinking
'It's time to move on...' with a different looking profile
That mysterious smile makes no sense to me
As I walk home in the twilight, I turn back around
 

'A mediocre love is alright with me...' But my feelings are upside down
I no longer love you for any other reason than the sense of danger
As my kiss gets blocked, my heart stirs
In other words... I'll have to say goodbye first
That's something I just can't do... no further discussion
 

I want to go back (to who I once was) , but I can't... My feelings are upside down
My love staggers too close to the danger zone
We can still play around because we're safe for now
It would be nice if I could love someone else
But that's something I just can't do... no further discussion
