Pirate Looks at Forty
"This is a song, I guess I wrote this for an old friend of mine a few years back who could just not seem to find his occupation in the twentieth century. So he just chose to live in a fantasy world. And then I looked at him I went, Well what the hell's wrong with that? So if this song has been able to ease your pain ever so slightly, I'm glad I wrote it 'cause that's what it's for. It's called Pirate Looks at Forty."

Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you switch from sail to steam
In your belly you can hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams

Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

But I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass
Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

I have been drunk now for over two weeks,
Passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've got stop wishin', got to go fishin'
I'm down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

"Nice to see all of our friends every year. Thank you
friends."

Now I go for younger women, lived with several awhile
Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
And I still could manage a smile
Sure takes a while, just takes a while

Mother, mother ocean, after all my years I've found
Occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
Feel like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frown
Feel like I've drowned, I'm gonna go check out
Peachtree Street somewhere downtown

[Embermage]

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

Oh rose, thou art sick.
Seduce, let loose, the vision and the void.

Blood suckle and honey suck.
Oh rose, thou art sick.
Oh-
the vision and the void.
The blood sickle cuts the honey suck.
Oh, rose, thou art.
sick.

In little children's heavy heads.
My dreams erupt while in my bed.
Innocence is innocence is
innocence is dripping, red.

In dreams, I walk with you.
In dreams I talk with you.
In dreams you're mine.
All of the time.

Heads on fire and drunken lights.
Days devoired by hungry nights.
In love's secret domain.
This is mad love.
This is mad love.
In love's secret domain.

Sweet tortures fly on mystery
wings.
Pure evil is when flowers sing.
My heart,
My heart-
My heart is a rose.
This is mad love, Oh
This is mad love.
In love's secret
domain.

Give sanity a longer leash, but
Some of us have sharper teeth.
In love's secret domain.

In dreams I walk with you.
In dreams I talk with you
In dreams.
You're mine
All of time time.

Oh rose, Thou art sick.
The invisible worm.
The vision and the void.
The blood sickle cuts.
And the honey sucks.

Oh rose, thou art sick.

You come into the threshold / Of another starless night of fear / You're running from the demons / That would drag you down again / Illusions of the world are spinning / Out of time and frame and synchronicity //you're so sad, you're such a sad-eyed girl / You're so sad, in your own sub-plot // What is, what is this, this mess of my existence is / All these politics of life and death and relevance / It's my existence // Another morning / It comes running up your bedpost with the wind / You face yourself just like you always do / Time and time again / The mortal coil of image / Inner peace and satisfaction // And so you keep it on the down-low / Hiding all the secrets that are down below / And so you keep it on the down-low / Tell me baby, was it worth it all? //Oh just take it all, make it work and make some sense / just take it all, You're my existence/ You're my existence --Kevin Max, 'Existence'

Song title:Sei Grande

Ê

Lyrics
Ogni passo, ogni faccia, ogni cosa che fai
Ogni volta e' un massacro se tu te ne vai
Si lo so che mi piace fermarmi a pensarti
Ma se posso toccarti funziona di piu'.
E non serve spiegarti la storia che sei
[le parole son senza ritorno lo sai]
Preferisco appoggiare le labbra alle tue
[col respiro che si agita contro le mie]
Non mi va di parlare di ieri
Con la vita non ci sto mai pari
Tu sei molto diversa dagli altri, dai di piu'.

CHORUS:
A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Ed in certe cose sei come me
Non t'accontenti di essere una tra tante, sei grande

Ed do molto rispetto per ogni tua idea
[non la voglio cambiare per pazzesca che sia]
Non ti stresso per farti piu' simile a me
[che se fossi diversa non saresti piu' te]
Poi nessuno conosce nessuno
Non si sa mai con chi stai, pero'

CHORUS:

A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Prendi quel che serve fino che c'e'
Mi dai tanto e non te ne accorgi neanche
Sei grande, ma grande

CHORUS (x2):
A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Ed in certe cose sei come me
Non t'accontenti di essere una tra tante, sei grande


now anyone want a translation ?
