BEST CLASS
Oh, where’s my head, where are my keys now?
By the counter or hiding out
Oh, I’m impressed with how we lose stuff
Guess we’re thinking higher now
Too late
Have I missed even the last bus?
Whichever city that’s the best class
Two feet
If it’s dark there’s always some light
I guess we’re thinking a bit higher now
Brains at the edge of the fences
No we don’t manage to fit in
Vacant in too many places
Oh, where’s my head, where are my keys now?
By the counter or hiding out
Oh, I’m impressed with how we lose stuff
Guess we’re thinking higher now
Too late
Took some time ‘cause focus burns fast
Whichever avenue I’ll get there last
Two feet
Some may say another train passed
I guess I’m thinking a bit higher now
Brains at the edge of the fences
No we don’t manage to fit in
Vacant in too many places
Oh, where’s my head, where are my keys now?
By the counter or hiding out
Oh, I’m impressed with how we lose stuff
Guess we’re thinking higher now
Oh, where’s my head, where are my keys now?
By the counter or hiding out
Oh, I’m impressed with how we lose stuff
Guess we’re thinking higher now

I’m that extra that

GIULIA
Giulia, occhi sempre aperti sul balcone
Giulia,
Sposata troppo presto
Con qualche rancore
Oh Giulia, un nome mica semplice
Per poche persone
Oh Giulia, unica maestra
Di vita e di ardore
Se potessi scriverti un diario
Quante cose che ti spiegherei
Ho due figli in un palmo di mano
Un marito che mi ama anche quando non amo
Giulia ci fa sognare
Giulia ci insegna l’amore
Giulia, il latte coi biscotti
E le domeniche insieme
Giulia, cucini anche di notte
E noi fermi a guardare
Giulia, guai se la provi ad aiutare
Giulia, una madre per mestiere
Se potessi scriverti un diario
Quante cose che ti spiegherei
Ho due figli in un palmo di mano
Un marito che mi ama anche quando non amo
Giulia ci fa sognare
Giulia ci insegna l’amore
Giulia, occhi sempre aperti sul balcone
Giulia, una goccia di tristezza e il rosario s’impone
Giulia, sagoma di nebbia
Di sabbia e di sale
Oh Giulia, sulla Sila sei neve
Se potessi scriverti un diario
Quante cose che ti spiegherei
Ho due figli in un palmo di mano
Un marito che mi ama anche quando non amo
Giulia ci fa sognare
Giulia ci insegna l’amore
IF I LET A WHITE MAN CUT MY HAIR
Black curls
Floating in the air
A crystal on her neck
And motherly hands
Locks over her head
Visionary lens
Colours all over the place
Can you smell it in her scent?
Tears over my face
The eyes of a close friend
Comb my inner shivers
And the storm within
I’m ready to let go
I’m ready to begin
I guess it’s the right place
There’s no one else I should be with
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
I will lose myself
Red curls
Growing off my head
I said I like myself
She said “you love yourself”
Where is me before this? (“excuse me”)
Curled up on the floor with
Everything it took for me to be here
Everyone seems specialised on working with all hair shapes
But everywhere I go
It’s always you and not me
I can’t believe I almost
Handed over my peace
To the ones who try to damage my legacy
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
I will lose myself
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
If I let a white man cut my hair
I will lose myself
I will lose myself
SIAMO TUTTI
Piano piano mi prendo cura
Di una strana mia natura
Radicale
Masochistica premura
Una sola poi la smetto
È una vita che prometto
E poi alla fine
Divento un’altra persona
Divento un’altra persona
Divento un’altra persona
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti
Non mi fermo, non mi pento
Fino a quando non ripenso
A chi sta bene
Senza vizi per catene
Una sola poi la smetto
Chiudo un occhio, sí prometto
E poi alla fine
Divento un’altra persona
Divento un’altra persona
Divento un’altra persona
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti
Sei Tu
Sono Io
Siamo Noi
Siamo Tutti

WHAT YOU DID TO ME
Thank you for the car ride
I can walk upstairs on my own
If you mind
There’s no light
You wanna be my light
Excuse me for a minute if I believe you
You wanna touch my hands
You wanna grab my hips
You wanna bite my lips
And twist me around
There’s no sexy sexy

Thank you for the good times (thank you for the good times)

Maybe I could use some time (I could use some time)
Need to find the keys to my house
If you mind
There’s no plan
You wanna be my plan
Excuse me for a minute if I leave you
Your hands in the wrong place
The lock over my hips
The bite you left on my lips

I’m gonna tell my friends
What you did to me
But I’m pretty sure
They wouldn’t know
Who to believe
Say what you say
And I’ll say what I want
You’re not invited over
‘Cause we’ve never been in love, yep
I’m gonna tell my friends
What you did to me

DANCING ON THIS
Call me when you think
Your friends have turned into believers
Can you hear them sweating
When they think I’m just a diva
Told you that I only work for you
To turn the beat up
And next time I’ll see you
We’ll be dancing on this
Call me when you think
Your friends have turned into believers (okay)
Can you hear them sweating
When they think I’m just a diva (okay)
Told you that I only work for you
To turn the beat up (okay)
And next time I’ll see you
We’ll be dancing on this (aah aah)
Honey, yes I’ve been working until late
And when I see that the phone’s ringing
I only pick up on the elected
Sorry, I should be better at texting
But when I see what I’m missing
I start remembering
When my friends were real
It’s never been a secret I miss your face
I hope I never fall from “you’re still my favourite”
I wish you were the buddy I see on a daily
Come on (ooh)
Remember when we only had to get around
Books and tests we didn’t really mess about with
I promised I’d be keeping up with life and stardom
Hold on
Call me when you think
Your friends have turned into believers
Can you hear them sweating
When they think I’m just a diva
Told you that I only work for you
To turn the beat up

And next time I’ll see you
We’ll be dancing on this
It’s never too late (it’s never too late)
To plan around our world trip (to plan around our world trip)
And I’ve already got a playlist (oh oh oh ohh oooh)
And that is gonna be the soundtrack for us two
I think we’re gonna be the cool kids (aaah)
While looking fire in these outfits (aaah)
We’re taking everything that’s not on planet earth
It’s never been a secret I miss your face
I hope I never fall from “you’re still my favourite”
I wish you were the buddy I see on a daily
Come on (ooh)
Remember when we only had to get around (get around)
Books and tests we didn’t really mess about with
I promised I’d be keeping up with life and stardom

WITHOUT YOU
Born to be taught how to be liked
Food for your eyes always when you want it
Making the streets safe in my head
Savour the compliments
Like I own them
So if you’re kinder than the hand
Of my first love
When I didn’t need it
Then I need you
And you need me
I believe you
Could replace it
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
(Hold on baby till we touch down)
Born to be loved
And bound to be free
This was a mind fuck
Using my torch in the dark
In a room I don’t know the size of
But I know you’re kinder than the hand
Of my first love when I didn’t need it
Than I need you
And you need me
I believe you
Could replace it
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
Oh baby when you touch touch me
Hold on baby till we touch down
(Hold on baby till we touch down)
BRAVE
I’ve built my fences
I’m not ready to risk it
Tell me what I’ve become
I had a nightmare
I didn’t see the premonition
Tell me what I’ve become
When falling in doubt
You trust me a little less
The freedom to possess
My body’s disappearance
If laying on doubt
Will make me voiceless
I’ll never be like that
I’ll never be like that
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
Stop all the changes
And swallow your self ammunitions
Tell me what I’ve become
Come back to your senses
To accommodate what they relate to
Tell me what I’ve become
When falling in doubt
I’m always trusted less
How can I try to grasp
What’s mine and timeless
If laying on doubt will make me voiceless
I’ll never be like that
I’ll never be like that
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be brave for us?
Can someone be
Can someone be
A TIE
I’ll stop
Feeling frustrated for that tight knot
That I wear like a tie
A manly hand on my shoulder and on my tights
You wouldn’t call them that
If I were much smaller
Like a child
Whose innocence was cut from core
Bolsters, blankets, hugs
And kisses from strangers
Place my sense of disconnect out in plain sight
A five year old that grows into a twenty five
You wouldn’t call it that
The ancestral learning
Like a tie
So strong that it feels like home
Concrete, wet grass, sand
Sting my feet equally
In a restless dance
A lighthouse in the distance makes me feel like
There’s a chance
But it’s always the lighthouse keeper that spots it first
And like a child
I’m left with patronising words and
The world’s entitlement
I watched everyone getting
Everything they could imagine
How come they know what they want?
A wooden bench in a courtroom doesn’t make me feel calm
My earliest misplacement is never to be spoken of
And I’m at war
With a system that cannot serve
Like it should
So I’ll stop
Feeling frustrated for that tight knot
That I wear like a tie
A manly hand on my shoulder and on my tights
You wouldn’t call them that if I were much smaller
But I’m not
But I’m not
But I’m not
Will you let me be forgotten?
SE AVESSI VISTO TE
Se avessi visto te
Di fronte a quella casa
Non mi mancheresti
Non ti cercherei
E quando mi sento persa in un tramonto
Torni e mi ricordi
Di un vento caldo che con te
Se ne va
Se avessi visto te
Seduto in riva al mare
Tu mi mostreresti
Fin dove nuotare
E quando mi sento persa dentro un’onda
Torni e mi sollevi
Per farmi volare
E io non mia scorderò mai
Più di te
Se avessi visto te
Parlare nella piazza
Con gli occhi ridenti
Sorriso leggero
E l’occhio che perde il fuoco
Mentre una lite nasce senza un movente
E tu cerchi il vero
Il gesto migliore che fai per te
Se avessi visto te
Dentro questa casa
Non mi mancheresti
Ma so che ci guardi
E quando mi sento persa
Tu ritorni e dici:
“Ascolta bene, guardati accanto.
Cambia la luna ma io
Sono qui.”
Cambia la luna ma io
Sono qui
CIRCUMNAVIGATING GEORGIA
I brought on a glorious theatre
And I’ve not found love before
Am I known for turning silver
Into forty carat gold?
I can’t help but change your form
Like the pottery classes I’ve never signed up for
I can’t help but choose surrender
When it’s easier to conceal than be unpleasant
To be silent entertainment
To be locked inside a house
Televised to be rebellious
Even though I hate to shout
I can’t help but change your form
Like the way I try to be worn by my old clothes
I can’t help but choose surrender
When it’s easier to be defined by the weather
Is it heaven what I work for?
I surely know how to compensate
Am I wrong to look for real love
From a tree that never sways?
I can’t help but change your form
Selling pleasure when all l know is unnatural
I can’t help but choose surrender
Like the ones who handle with grace an offender
Something changes when your hair does
I’ve seen how who I was held your space
Circumnavigating Georgia
That’s the way I crossed the haze
