LOVING FROM BELOW
LOVING FROM ABOVE
THE SHORTEST WAY TO ROSES AND SPARKLING DIAMONDS
LOVED WHEN NOT LOVING
NOT LOVED WHEN LOVING
FORGOTTEN BY DEATH
ABANDONED BY LIFE
SUDDENLY THE AIR ITSELF IS TURNING FOUL
IS THIS REAL FRIENDSHIP?
NO, IT LOOKS MORE LIKE THE INSTINCT OF THE HUNT
A COMPETITION
SUGAR SWEET SALTY DESIRE
EVERY DAY EVERY NIGHT
SAND IN THE EYES
PERCHE?
A COSA DI - I DO NOT KNOW ALL
IL GIOCO DELLE PARTE - THE RULES OF THE GAME
AND
COSI E SE VI PARE - RIGHT YOU ARE IF YOU THINK YOU ARE
WE WERE - COME SIAMO STATI - AS WE WERE
PEACEABLE AND QUIETLIKE
LIFE IS HARD IN PARADISE
