I was fixed on the ghosts of the countryside. Well, I'd better think of my friends.
You're studying a hundred books
on one of those Cairo nights,
when the moon is like a room-mate.
Then you moon around the mosque in the city
and the sky draws an arabesque.
Pick up the phone and call me if you wanna go downtown! All roads will turn into highways.
My dear friend,
we'd better think it over: it's just a matter of...
Oh you'd better think of me!
75 is the ghost of the countryside and the skeletons are dancing salsa. If only I could meet you in a bar between the crickets and the harvest!
My dear friend,
we'd better think it over:
it's just a matter of...
Oh, you'd better think of your friends in the countryside and you'd better think of me.
So pick up the phone and call me if you wanna go downtown and the same goes for me as well as for everyone.
And after all these years I think
it's not a matter of time,
but a matter of me and you in the countryside.

Take me, honey, take me to the Ambassador! I feel so tired tonight.
Let's pretend our life is white.
We want to see people
and we want to see lights tonight.

Ok, I think I feel disaster blue, but it's my fault.
It's not you.
The more I try to glue the thousand fragments of a whole life,
the more I realize there must be something wrong in the way i've lied.
It's not you. Disaster blue.
Ok, I think I feel just confused, but it's my fault.
It's not you.
I don't know why blue is my favourite colour and the colour I hate much,
it reminds me of that night we were waiting for their coming in the neighbours' yard.
It's not you. Disaster blue.

Claudia (From An Island)

Claudia, take your coat and come back to your home town! I want you to come home, Claudia from an island.
Claudia, take your cat and come back to your home town!
And the drums beat BUM BAM BUM BAM
Claudia,
let's talk about distances, you know, just do as if they've never existed. They're over our head
and over our head
there's nothing real at all.
And when you'll come home, Claudia, you'll find an island, Claudia, full of cats and friends and parties all around your house!
And the neighbours say UFFA UFFA
And the drums beat BUM BAM BUM BAM
Let's night I dreamt of the Tyrrhenean sea,
where the ships are sailing safe to your eyes but they're too far to reach. On the coast there's a ghost getting lost,
Cover up your body
guard the gulf
light the fire
and whatever you know
Claudia,
take your coat and come back to your home town take your cat and come back to your home town take your coat and come back home!

She said:
I was only a girl when it happened, bees were flying high like the airplanes even if it's hard to remember.
Then he said:
I read something 'bout bees in september, even if it's hard to remember.
Even if it's hard to remember.
SHE SAID THEN HE SAID

I've got a friend
and everywhere she goes, she contacts me.
Even from L.A!
Holidays,
sun is shining bright. I feel so low,
I gotta make my day.
Sometimes I'd like to know... (what about you and the parties?)
Friends, everywhere.
Well, sometimes I want to be like water, but I'm a man
and I gotta make my day.
I've got a friend
and everywhere she goes, she contacts me.
Even from L.A!
Sometimes I'd like to know...
Tell me about all the things that we'll never know. Call me and let's stay up all night on the phone. Tell me about all the places we'll never go.

To The Dog I Never Had

Now that I know all the promises are but the disguise of lies, well, I guess I am ready
for a long goodbye.
Though we've never seen each other and I don't know who you are, but if it ever happens,
I will open my window and let you in.
