Peckinpah 03:25
there's no place for you and me there's no chance to breathe 10 feet under the sea once we threw it all away all that's left is just a dirty heart to clean I'd like to see you in my dreams leaning on my shoulder I wish I met you in my sleep cradled by the wind but I can't sleep, no more this way the night is cold, you're not the same sew the pieces of this tale everytime it seems too hard for me too frail once we threw it all away but it all came back and here I am again
2.
Grey Eyes 02:26
The sky falls down on me I'm feeling something strange just take me out of here just show me, what the way is grey eyes the world is not the same you know it feeds my fears just take me out of here just let me find the way grey eyes
3.
Last Night 04:33
Last night I was alone in the bed, your cold side said that you were not there and I should just bide TV said it might snow but they never guess it and we said it might work but on earth, who can guess it? And we all hang around with our bundles of misery And sometimes, somehow we make tangles with our lives down here
4.
What is wrong with you? Missing something new? Fix your pain with glue veil your ills you've got a suit to wear and there's a man to fear you've got a pillow and eyes to cry and on the screen, tonight you saw the misery you're on the screen, tonight This is the free world! Hit the ground feel your pain this is the free world slice your life in two hide a part of you take a pillow and eyes to cry

here under these leaves far from where I'm from I found myself alone I found a place like home here in your arms far from what I loved digging on my own I found a place like home but I know your leaves will lose their colour but I know what I wish will fade tomorrow hold me close to you make me feel like home don't say what we knew do it now, before time has passed and our leaves have lost their colour time has killed our desires by tomorrow
6.
Feeling that time now has gone thinking that nothing was done I swear I'll be fine without you I've lost what I wish on this way I'm just trying to grab better days to grab better days restless, in life I'm still swaying going back and forth with no aim a leaf in the wind, my good friend laden of hope I'm just saying I'm taking away what remains Cause It's not too late
7.
To Alex 03:48
Another turn has gone away it feels like you want me to stay and 10.000 miles today, don't mean a thing sweet as a cuddle when it's dark you talked about your question marks drew on a menu a little heart and then you smiled And it seems weird today I just reached you and I didn't know the way well, it seems fine today I just feel like I've got many things to say Another night will kill your day between the sofa and a full ashtray and something's gonna catch your mind but now it's fine I'll tell you again, just for a while, some words I know to make you smile and something's gonna catch your mind but it's going to be fine And it seems weird today I just reached you and I didn't know the way well, it seems fine today I just feel like I've got many things to say

Neon Lights 03:05
Still on the way, where we go we don't know, maybe nowhere the lights fade away and we're guided by what we don't know yet How will it end up this time? That thought is blowing my mind spinning around we will fall down Still on the way we're just sailing on stretches of neon lights the words fly way as the clouds that we make spitting out sighs How will it end up this time? That thought is blowing my mind spinning around we will fall down And we know what it's like And we know what it's like And we know what it's like
9.
Right here, where we came to stay before the rain fell down before your heart was grey I'm lying, remembering what you said before the rain fell down before to know the pain time, so fast like a blast what do I miss? A smile in the morning brightened my days what that was burning ash in my veins saying, but there's no need to say it's clear, it's on your face we played a losing game blind I'm walking on a way before the rain fell down before, it was my way
10.
sitting on a bench today I felt the problems fade away as the sun shined on my face cycling through the park today I could get out from the cage that I built so long ago and I wrote down all I feel all I feel about you now I think it was a kind of love and I never knew you well I could fantasize I could paint pictures of you I still wish we'll meet again as i liked to imagine and I hope you're doing well on your own if there was a start this could be the end but if there was a spark there must be something to defend

about

“Nobody gets a Reprieve”. A tale about the difficulty to find a viable, rewarding and fulfilling way, about relationships and inadequacy feelings, about the revulsion for a shallow, competitive and fierce society. A tale coloured of kindness, frail irony and sometimes of some kind of hope, that comes to deny, melancholically, the feeling of defeat that permeates the whole thing. A perfect summary for “Beautiful Losers”, quoting Leonard Cohen. Nobody gets a reprieve. Nobody will get it.
