LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I FOUGHT THE ANGELS/THE DELGADOS





I fought the angels here today
Hope my defeat will end this play
Everybody knows that
I only have myself to blame
Everybody knows that
Softly, softly wins the game

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Knew at the time that they came out
Wish I could have them disallowed
Everybody knows that
We say things we do not mean
Everybody knows that
We say things that are unclean

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend

Run conversations in my head
Write my own scripts to dish the dread
And if I speak out loud
I will have to change the rules
For speaking's out of bounds
If it's practised by a fool

Trust I'll try to learn again
My words are seldom for a friend
So lend me an ear to lean upon
To speak to and learn my speaking from

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: COMING IN FROM THE COLD/THE DELGADOS





Step inside
A better dream job you could never find
A set of keys and bottles heaven wide
Find yourself a seat and settle in for the ride
Raise your glass
We're going to drink now till the summer's past
So bring the hats out we all need a laugh
And let the neighbours talk then make sure you lose them
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no one there
How can you call this fair?

Not to blame
No one's telling you you're not to blame
Things around they just don't feel the same
And I don't recognise this person that still remains
Settle down
I really hope that you can settle down
Take your tent and trailer out of town
We'll find a place to roam where you could escape to
We can

Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no one there
How can you call this

Everybody's waiting for the big surprise
But nobody will notice when it does arrive
So send it on
Try for the right kind of life
I only wish that you'd had a chance to decide
Have a look around you there's no one there
How can you call this fair?
We're coming in from the cold
And everybody's searching for someone to hold
Have a look around you there's no one there
How can you call this fair?
