Slithering 01:29
Slithering (Claudio Conti) Lies are your inner self Lies are your treason Lies are your silhouette hovering Lies are your stepping stones Lies are your freedom Lies aren't placid spells slithering You'll go to foreign places you slow down pourin' down your drops of anger eleven knights in danger you slow down, pourin' down your drops of anger ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00301

Straws & Popsicles (Claudio Conti) And she seems so serious And the guy’s looking somewhere else And she soaks her sexy dress And the guy’s enjoying cherry Dr. Pepper The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding any kind of old style The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding, super – fake, sensational She knows well how to unload her boyfriend’s gun And the fields are flourishing because of drugs Originate a new idea, kiss a Camel Lights You’re too showy, hissing on the dance floor The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding any kind of old style The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding, super – fake, sensational The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding any kind of old style The newspaper says she’s in a fashion parade Avoiding, super – fake, sensational ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00302

Hydrants 02:13
Hydrants (Claudio Conti) Fire hydrants refresh my summer days I read a book, take a look and it never rains Oh my house will never know Oh my heart will never blow And when that icy jet of water will come to me and relieve my red hot skin Crowds will be dancing down the streets, they’ll be barefoot and the sidewalks wet ah-ah-ah-a Fire hydrants just stay close to my dazed head Sun is up, I read a book and sweat like a fool Oh my blood will never flow Oh my life is I don’t know Fire hydrants become my energy ‘cause the protection that I needed was just too low Oh my mind is picking gold Oh the sky is getting old ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00303

Crayons 03:40
Crayons (Claudio Conti) Crayons liberate gentle teenagers I look at the sun and it gets me the feathers, beloved Anne freshens the lemonade Far from havens fledgeling betrayers Tonight it’s alright we’re going to get to the vested land, release a paper crane Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh In rows we fly under an azure sky beholding the mountains you shall decide whether to live or die beholding the mountains The mountains Crayons liberate gentle teenagers Your sign of the zodiac gives me the shivers I draw again and throw away the pens Far from evil, sending a letter Tonight it’s alright we’re going to get to the vested land, release a paper crane Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh In rows we fly under an azure sky beholding the mountains you shall decide whether to live or die beholding the mountains In rows we fly under an azure sky beholding the mountains you shall decide whether to live or die beholding the mountains The mountains The mountains The mountains ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00304

Bouganville 03:13
Bouganville (Claudio Conti) Sink back into a dream, she doesn’t know what you mean, television in flames, keep on walking and Gnaw your fingernails, sip your favourite tea inside of the bouganville secret garden and Show me the red rooms, I’m waiting for food, the best you can do is to live at twelve noon Fifty people seated only seven people standing Everybody’s smoking to create the rainbow cloud In my thoughts I feel the dancer turning towards me Is it a yellow guitar the sign of a new rise? Enclose the smell of the plants and lock it in your eyes Let colorful flashbacks out of your creative mind Sink back into a dream, guests are strewn everywhere, I'm in the open, just laid on a mown lawn and Get through icy beer, cannot see anything clear, buffet tables surrounded again, you saw your pleasures relieved, in a gingery feel but then prevailed the deep blue when a Moon kissed the gloom Fifty people seated only seven people standing Everybody’s smoking to create the rainbow cloud In my thoughts I feel the dancer turning towards me Is it a yellow guitar the sign of a new rise? Enclose the smell of the plants and lock it in your eyes Let colorful flashbacks out of your creative mind Open your mind to the bouganville and grin ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00305

Bewitching Woman (Claudio Conti) Walking with her dog I saw another time the bewitching woman Trimmed with lace and white her dress has blinded all the passers by ohhh ohhh ohhh Today is twentyfive, the ponytail enlightens the wide valley She finds the promenade while currents join the gardens and subside ohhh ohhh ohhh Who lives with the bewitching woman Will she read poems in her yard Myrrh candles make a scented circle Cannot find some yellow darts Who knows where's her house Who knows her pleasant bed Who knows where's her house With purple baroque drapes ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00306

A Pleasant Inn (Claudio Conti) Have you visited the cozy inn It's a magical dream to just be sitting and eat Have you seen the pretty pleasant inn They have the best cuisine suggested by a queen Have you finished your delicious meal It's an instant need to come back and think Have you ever been to this serene, pleasant, charming inn it's so close by And my fennel is dressed with olive oil I'm really having a rest And the bridge on the wall brings me joy What else would you want? Have you visited the cozy inn It's a magical dream to just be sitting and eat Have you seen the pretty, pleasant inn they have the best cuisin suggested by the queen Have you finished your delicious meal It's an instant need to come back and think Have you ever been to this serene, pleasant, charming inn It's so close by And my carrots are flavored and minced Between mouthfuls I drink Room temperature water and Seek and ye shall find And my fennel is dressd with olive oil I'm really having a rest And the bridge on the wall brings me joy What else would you want?

King of Spades (Claudio Conti) King of spades, another place I’ve seen today Took off the raincoat in the rain They see their houses far away And left a note for those who stay King of spades, the north is close and seems astray They’re looking through the window pane Luxuriant dinners urge to stay The same old bet I’m going to pay King of spades realizes the outrage Anyway think back to the parade King of spades realizes the outrage Anyway think back to the parade King of spades, another place I’ve seen today Took off the raincoat in the rain They see their houses far away And left a note for those who stay ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00308

Lone Wolf 02:21
Lone Wolf (Claudio Conti) Ahha ahha ahha ahha Found the key to the westward, wellingtons fit on my shoes Me and Peter my fond friend will be sprinkled with our wanderlust Unknown brooks skillfully overtaken with cardboard boxes as a canoe Endless inland towns, what a landscape from our VW bus!!! Ahha ahha ahha ahha Found a way to provide myself with food So wholesome, crouched down, on a desert island Happy as a sandboy, life has passed me by Museum of shells, lone wolf, lone wolf, thinking... Ahha ahha ahha ahha Found the key to the westward, wellingtons fit on my shoes Me and Peter my fond friend will be sprinkled with our wanderlust Unknown brooks skillfully overtaken with cardboard boxes as a canoe Endless inland towns, what a landscape from our VW bus!!!

Olympus Girl 03:11
Olympus Girl (Claudio Conti) Another pisces under these white fleecy clouds Her beauty runs by the amazement of the boy Another agile Taurus opens the lighted door A laid down angel leaves behind intense rainfalls Slowness takes away the glance from me It could have been a balcony talk, I could have touched the smooth skin Gentleness sways proud and filled with streams The fleecy clouds lead in the skies and never seem to say goodnight Another mild scene Looking for your blue damask I smelled her coming In a grove of sycomores Blackberry bushes saw you naked Without a torch A laid down angel Leaves behind intense rainfalls Slowness takes away the glance from me It could have been a balcony talk, I could have touched the smooth skin Gentleness sways proud and filled with streams The fleecy clouds lead in the skies and never seem to say goodnight Follow in the woods the Olympus girl ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00310

Axes and Barrows (Claudio Conti) Axes and barrows are mean The blankets of leaves are suffocating me Killing the body would mean choosing open wide dreams Goodbye my fair blindness Still holding the newborn Believing or being torn Still holding the newborn We’re floating without boards Axes and barrows are keen on bringing relief, My shade is fading in this eden Seeking a shelter would mean giving up olden means I’m under weight and I am... Still holding the newborn Believing or being torn Still holding the newborn We’re floating without boards They idolize ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00311

And the Fox was run to Earth (Claudio Conti) Expensive mission, no one’s watching over them The thoughtlessness is lost, poachers come again It’s meant to be the cruelty, karma’s sadly dead Vanity orders, they fly to get the highest item And the fox was run to earth Watched behind, ran away, in the dark The fox was run to earth taking its chances to survive And the fox was run to earth Watched behind, ran away, camouflaged The fox was run to earth taking its chances to survive Those loaded guns, their vans, they dance, doesn’t make sense How could they make it, there’s nothing left but fear Hide anywhere, shove off, away from greedy steps The landscape’s gentle, it’ll cover you tonight And the fox was run to earth Watched behind, ran away, in the dark The fox was run to earth taking its chances to survive And the fox was run to earth Watched behind, ran away, camouflaged The fox was run to earth taking its chances to survive And the fox was run to earth Watched behind, ran away, in the dark The fox was run to earth taking its chances to survive ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00312

Strand Conversation (Claudio Conti) Homophobe I'm glad I found you In the residence In the cocktail bar Where else? And the massese are gossiping about your forked toungue, moron! I have come to deliver The winds of whale to your life I have come to deliver A mocking voice and evil eyes Homophobe you're sitting all alone Smoking in the John We know all about your wild... longing And your days will be so demeaning we'll all say... moron! I have come to deliver The winds of whale to your life I have come to deliver A mocking voice and evil eyes I have come to deliver The winds of whale to your life I have come to deliver Shoals of letdowns to your life ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00313

Warbler 02:48
Warbler (Claudio Conti) Warbler Saw you nesting On the blades Warbler Loves the bushes In the Sun Never wanted to leave that hyacinth Never wanted to learn a sacred hymn Warbler Is a free king Sings along Warbler Rays the forest In the rain Never wanted to leave that hyacinth Hear unusual songs from the pine trees ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00314

Automobiles 03:53
Automobiles (Claudio Conti) Night knows what kind of day is Back and forth exhale their smoke A myriad of colors Night knows what kind of day is today Automobiles are driving into the highways Automobiles take you in a safe place Night grows while they're shifting gears Alone they measure their thoughts And blinking lights blind The pureness of these restless days Automobiles are driving into the highways Automobiles take you in a safe place ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00315

Magical Day 03:26
Magical Day (Claudio Conti) Smooth was the road and unexpected was the breeze Air in the wind, the beauty of the trees Clear was the sky, the river was inside of me Dream of the week, an independent woman came Linked to the leaves, my memory rose and disclosed Secrets of sounds, our glory’s growing from the ground Life is on your tree, I want to see, I want to be Life is on the stream, cover up the silent hymn Rhythms see beyond, belligerancy did exist Nice is the staying, the vulnerable soul now takes Pictures in green, the stepping stones releaved the pond, Chant of the swans, beset another purple day Life is on your tree, I want to see, I want to be Life is on the stream, cover up the silent hymn That was a magical day ISRC: IT-P0X-14-00316
