| Electrical storm | Tempesta elettrica |
| The sea it swells like a sorehead
And the night it is aching Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed And the day it is breaking On rainy days we'd go swimming out On rainy days, swimming in the sound On rainy days we'd go swimming out You're in my mind all of the time I know that's not enough If the sky can crack There must be some way back For love and only love Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Baby don't cry Car alarm won't let you back to sleep You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream Coffee is cold, but it'll get you through Compromise there's nothing new to you Let's see colours that have never been seen Let's go to aces no one else has been You're in my mind all of the time I know that's not enough Well if the sky can crack There must be someway back To love and only love Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Baby don't cry It's hot as hell, honey in this room Sure hope the weather will break soon The air is heavy, heavy as a truck Hope the rain will wash away our bad luck Well if the sky can crack There must be some way back To love and only love Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Electrical Storm Baby don't cry Baby don't cry Baby don't cry |

| The hands that built America | Le mani che hano costruito l'America |
| Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye These are the hands that built America Oh, America Last saw your face in a watercolour sky As sea birds argue, a long goodbye I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard And these are the hands, that built America Ah, ah ah, America Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach It's early fall There's a cloud on the New York skyline Innocence, dragged across a yellow line These are the hands that built America These are the hands that built America Ah America Ah America |

| Summer rain | Pioggia estiva |
| When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old The lines on your face Are a map to your soul When you stop taking chances You'll stay where you sit You won't live any longer But it'll feel like it I lost myself in the summer rain I lost myself I lost myself in the summer rain In the summer rain Tequila and Orange, Jamaica and rum At Moorea honey on my tongue In a small boat on a generous sea Let me be your enemy Tiny hand, with a grip on the world Holding our breath now Diving for pearls I lost myself in the summer rain I lost myself I lost myself in the summer rain Just as you find me Always I will be A little bit too free with myself I lost myself in the summer rain I lost myself Now there's no one else in the summer rain Raining down… Just as you find me Always I will be A little bit too free with myself Just as you find me Always I will be A little bit too free with myself It's not why you're running It's where you're going It's not what you're dreaming But what you're going to do It's not where you're born It's where you belong It's not how weak But what will make you strong |

| North and south of the river | Nord e Sud del fiume |
| I want to reach out over the lough
And feel your hand across the water Walk with you along an unapproved road Not looking over my shoulder I want to see, and I want to hear To understand your fears But we're north & south of the river I've been doing it wrong all of my life This holy town has turned me over A young man running from what he didn't understand But the wind from the lough just got colder and colder There was a badness that had its way Love was not lost, love will have its day North & south of the river North & south of the river Can we stop playing these old tattoos ? Darling, I don't have the answer I want to meet you Where you are I don't need you to surrender There's no feeling That's so alone As when the one you're hurting is your own North & south of the river North & south of the river North & south of the river Some high ground is not worth taking Some connections are not worth making There's an old church bell no longer ringing Some old songs are not worth bringing North (Some high ground is not worth taking) North & south of the river |

| Happiness is a warm gun | La felicità è una pistola carica |
| Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun She's not a girl who misses much Do do do do do do oh yeah She's not a girl who misses much Do do do do do do oh yeah Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Happiness Is A Warm Gun Happiness Is A Warm Gun She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes wide open While his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun I need a fix cause I'm going down Need a fix cause I'm going down Need a fix cause I'm going down To the bits that I left uptown Need a fix cause I'm going down Uptown Need a fix cause I'm going down Uptown Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a, a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun |
