La Rocca is an Irish rock band, formed in Dublin, Ireland in 2000.
The band formed when college friends Nick Haworth and Alan Redmond met Bjorn Baillie in Cardiff, they were later joined by Bjorn’s older brother Simon. Three of the four members of La Rocca Bjorn Baillie, his brother, bassist Simon Baillie, and drummer Alan Redmond, hail from small towns near Dublin, Ireland. Keyboardist Nick Haworth, is from Lancashire, England.
The band is named after a dive bar in the city of Bristol where the group played an early gig. After a few independent single releases in the early 2000s (decade), in 2003, La Rocca released a self-titled EP on the tiny Irish indie Wet Clay, bringing them to the attention of both the Los Angeles-based indie label Dangerbird Records, which signed them in 2004, and producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Belle & Sebastian, etc.), whose interest in the group helped persuade them to leave Ireland and move to Los Angeles.
They recorded their debut record with Hoffer in the early months of 2006, finally releasing The Truth in August of the same year. The band have had numerous successes to date, touring internationally with French band Phoenix, as well as numerous TV outings on One Tree Hill.

Rudeejay Live @ Inaugurazione La Rocca (Arona)
You keep one talking bout these winter blues
All across the lowlands
People getting used to the walking in the daytime
While the little men go choose
Arrested fathers with their Monday heads
Get suspicious of the women who know more in bed
And the whole thing shows what the space race failed to prove
After the light show and the ball of flames
All the elephants go back to their poker games
And the money takes a one-way trip on a southbound train
Amazing brandy and the Ace of Spades
Talk to Dylan with the only who didn't get laid
And everyone agreed on the meaning behind the news
We're being used
I've never been here but the brochures' nice
Says the staff here is friendly but the management lies
And the ceiling comes free if we just get online and dice
Too many owners and not enough teams
Too many ideas and not enough wet wet wet dreams
So pu that wallet away cause i can't pay what's due
And nor can you
We're being used
I'd bow my head if the king walked by
But he'd better stay focued on the glint oin my eye
For his right hand man may taste a bullet and die
If immagration stops us getting through
Thenj we'll hit 'em with the joke bout the 2ft shoe
And if that doesn't work then we'll just hi 'em with the truth
Were bieng used
Heaven's got a porblem with the casting couch
Cause if God does the interview, You'd better watch out
It's a rumour right now
But Jesus won't you tell us the truth
Write a song, know it
Overkill just a bit
Easy does it
Good and hard just may hit
Oh you see this working
You and me been hurting
All this time we're being spun
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Drummer bleeding
It's his pulse you're feeling
Singer screaming
Words you been feeling
Oh you see it working
You and me been hurting
All the time we're being spun
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Drummer bleeding
It's his pulse you're feeling
Singer screaming
Words you been feeling
Oh you see it working
You and me been hurting
All the time we're being spun
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Just to sing song
Sing song sung
Just to sing song
Does it matter that my eyes do go
speech may slow, speech may slow
Does it matter that my late night call
came at all, came at all
Does it matter that I don't impress
distinguished guests, distinguished guests
I know I'm impossible cause I convine myself
of thing that are impossible
with someone else
and you can be my silent type
Baby, those pauses can make my night
please keep your sweet lips closed tight
Does it matter how I sign my name
It don't mean fame, it don't mean fame
Does it matter that a girl might smile
it's worth a try, it's worth a try
I know I'm impossible cause I convince myself
of things that are impossible
with someone else
and you can be my silent type
Baby, those pauses can make my night
please keep your sweet lips closed tight
You can be my silent type
baby, those pauses can make my night
You can be my silent type
baby, those pauses can make my night
Sing my name, sing my name
sing my name, sing my name
don't impress, I don't impress
Did I say a little too much
Did I make a little bit up
I did
I did
Did you turn away in doubt
eat the food that they left out
I did
I did
Only for our faces (x4)
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
Going round all judgement bars
making love in cars
Oh yes sir
no m'an
Taking odds I've never heard
breaking almost every word
yes sir
no m'an
Only for our faces (x4)
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
Only for our faces (x4)
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
Did you march against the war
nail a cross upon your door
She signs this letter with her lipstick
and seals it with a kiss
sincierly my everything
She signs this letter with her lipstick
and seals it with a kiss
sincierly my everything
She said this was unexpected
but i know that i'll regret it
when she walks away from me
My memories are fueled by jeliousy
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction
Her perfume is like poisen
and i'm attracted to the scent
its what keeps me
wraped around her finger
and i will be your line
cleverly cought up in your mind
saying stay for ever
just stay
My memories are fueled by jeliousy
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction
shes says its over now
their nothing you can do
nothing you can do about it
she says its over
My memories are fueled by jeliousy
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Shes my addiction, my addiction
and i cant controll it
Did I say a little too much
Did I make a little bit up
I did
I did
Did you turn away in doubt
eat the food that they left out
I did
I did
Only for our faces (x4)
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
Going round all judgement bars

We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
We go beyond that, so far we' cats
Did you march against the war
nail a cross upon your door
Oh I did
It's too late, the sky's performing
we must have missed our warning sign that day
there's so much that we've no longer got
as my eyes move down across your face
i remember songs that brought us in the corner of your room
you held too close for both of us, till nothing touched could move
i know, it doesn't silence anyone
so what could anyone say
there's been but two meanings in our lives
what you want and what i can't hide
the fallen cry, the empty driveway lights don't take me home
you held too close for both of us
till nothing said was known
because i know a place i'm going to, like nowhere that you've been
goodnight, goodnight
the fallen cry, the empty driveway lights don't take me home
you held too close for both of us till nothing said was known
i remeber songs that brought us in the corner of your room
you held too close for both of us till nothing said was known
the time is over goodnight
leaving us the way i thought it might
cause i know a place i'm going to like nowhere that you've been
Er ist ein Hombre sehr tüchtig,
er hält die Ball immer flach,
als Stürmer war er berüchtigt,
und als Trainer lässt er nicht nach...
Refrain:
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Die deutsche Elf war ganz unten,
und es sah gar nicht gut aus.
Man glaubte ihn schon verschwunden,
doch da tauchte er wieder auf.
Refrain:
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Er sieht so gut aus wenn er lacht,
mit seiner bueno Lockenpracht.
Er sieht so gut aus wenn er lacht,
mit seiner bueno Lockenpracht.
Refrain:
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi,Rudi.
Ein Rudi,Rudi.
Ein Rudi,Rudi.
Ein Rudi,Rudi.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Ein Rudi Völler, das gibs nur ein Rudi Völler.
Well I wrote a story
Got put in the paper
About all the bridges I'd burned
For the last part I lied
But you know it don't matter
Cause I'll print anything that you served
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and pull off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
That so much has happened
I ran with the union
And the ink never dried with the grass
Well the numbers got plenty
I assure you that many
Had been added by me for a gas
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
My home was the scene
Or a quarrelsome marriage
That flared up whenever i spoke
So i brought her some letters
Washed down in adventure
And my bed would be lonely no more
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
And if I was a shadow
On a long lonely gallow
That hang me and cut off my lip
Cause making up stories was all I could do
And you know that the truth ain't worth shit
She belongs somewhere else, away from my side
so run with what you got, and chase with what you need
i believe the faithful fell, didn't know their way back
so far away from home, but brother we're not alone
and i promise to climb back up here to you
waiting for this message coming through
is it mine? is it mine?
as she pulls inside
is it mine? is it mine?
how the lights turn white
do you take the non believers/ cause i'm a non believer
she belongs somewhere else, where pain isn't hope
and lives get every chance, not part of every plan
i believe the faithful fell, didn't know their way back
so far away from home, but brother we're not alone
is it mine? is it mine?
as she pulls inside
is it mine? is it mine?
All i have's this journal that i write
sketches of a 20-something life
glory pieces shining on a page
boxing night of disappointing rage
legends never leave an ounce of flesh
colour fades a memory like death
i mistook with all the sense i had
words laid down in mornings' turning sad
left a window seat for who may pass
long to see a skirt or cotton blouse
inside of a womans' changing room
got invited back, gave opinion too
coloured queen a winters' night in a bath
can you feel this prose tease out a laugh
all i have's this journal that i write
sketches of a 20-something life
never got to see the mighty sands
settled for a back-row in the stands
many New Years Eves' i spent alone
shaking with the fear while crawling home
digging even deeper down for oil
to fuel the fires roaring in my soul
of course i wanted credit where its' due
i feel so very blessed to play with you
we get over everything it seeems
wide awake while all around is dream
dig your Autumn taste and marriage needs
for half a piece of mind, i mined your peace
using every face i run into
take a seat and tell me something new
all i have's this journal that i write
sketches of a 20-something life
maybe when we travel left of town
i could play the 20-something down
pretend i've won the lottery and sing
get into the mansion house and
bring, a bottle opened slowly at the door
added to the missing linos roar
didn't we go looking for the place
where all my inspirations wrote their face
telephone kept buzzing on the plane
filming what could never be again
all i have's this journal that i write
What ever happened
to the promises you made
Those little notions
of your breakthrough day
My one mistake was
in making some room
Leaving doors unlocked
that you pushed through
And taking too much time
Some you lose and some you give away
Some you lose and some you give away
I lost some friends out
on that empty road
Get back together
it's always them you know
For what don't get you leave a
mark on your back
Like the piece that doesn't
fit in the jar that cracked
Forgetting what you've been told
Some you lose and some you give away
Some you lose, some you give away
You give away, yeah, yeah, yeah
I left some candles
by the side of your house
Case you got lost or needed showing out
Make a friend of who you are
things so everlasting take you far
try and get away
a reason to give up to you
a love i never understood
and now 2 years later
i'm reading of your wedding in my morning paper
the future's getting brighter
i need a cigarette and so i reach for my lighter
it's the same for you and it's the same for me
but i'm not here alone now and i think you'd agree
that if we'd met later, i'd never have seen this life
bad enough that i'm stil here
lying through my teeth so loud and clear
have to get away
i'm walking streets excited man, lying awake and dreaming plans
so now 2 years later, i'm reading some reviews in my music paper
ther future's getting brighter
i wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter
it's the same for you and it's the same for me
but i'm not here alone now, and i think you'd agree
