Amnesty (from the Greek ἀμνηστία amnestia, oblivion)[citation needed] is defined as: "A pardon extended by the government to a group or class of persons, usually for a political offense; the act of a sovereign power officially forgiving certain classes of persons who are subject to trial but have not yet been convicted" It includes more than pardon, in as much as it obliterates all legal remembrance of the offense. The word has the same root as amnesia. Amnesty is more and more used to express 'freedom' and the time when prisoners can go free.
Amnesties, which in the United Kingdom may be granted by the crown or by an act of Parliament, were formerly usual on coronations and similar occasions, but are chiefly exercised towards associations of political criminals, and are sometimes granted absolutely, though more frequently there are certain specified exceptions. Thus, in the case of the earliest recorded amnesty, that of Thrasybulus at Athens, the thirty tyrants and a few others were expressly excluded from its operation; and the amnesty proclaimed on the restoration of Charles II of England did not extend to those who had taken part in the execution of his father. Other famous amnesties include: Napoleon's amnesty of March 13, 1815 from which thirteen eminent persons, including Talleyrand, were exempt; the Prussian amnesty of August 10, 1840; the general amnesty proclaimed by the emperor Franz Josef I of Austria in 1857; the general amnesty granted by President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, after the American Civil War (1861-April 9, 1865), in 1868, and the French amnesty of 1905. Amnesty in U.S. politics in 1872 meant restoring the right to vote and hold office to ex-Confederates, which was achieved by act of Congress. Those were true amnesties, pardoning past violations without changing the laws violated.
Paolo Giovanni Nutini (born 9 January 1987) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and musician from Paisley.
Paolo Nutini's debut album, These Streets, was released by Atlantic Records in the United Kingdom in July 2006 and included the singles "Last Request", "Jenny Don't Be Hasty", "Rewind" and "New Shoes". "Last Request", the most successful, reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. The album peaked at number three on the UK Album Chart and was certified 4× platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It has been in the album charts for a record-breaking 196 weeks.
In May 2009 Nutini released his second album, Sunny Side Up, which debuted at number one in the UK and has produced four singles; "Candy", "Coming Up Easy", "Pencil Full of Lead" and "10/10". It has so far been certified 4x platinum by the BPI. On 19 February 2010, it scooped "Best International Album" at the 2010 Meteor Awards.
Nutini's father is of Italian descent, from Barga, Tuscany, although both his parents are third-generation Scottish.
Love is the sweetest amnesty
Floats like a cloud between the sky and sea
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me
Love is the sweetest amnesty
Given by the powers
Then let us be
I'll give it to you
Could you please give it to me
'cause I need you
We can talk
We can see
If we disagree we do it honestly
Let our lovin' be
The sweetest amnesty
Between you and me
There's bound to be
Some conscientious objection
Our spirits dressed in mystery
Speak solely through affection
Repeat
Verse 1
"Cos I need you (need you)
Chorus
Let our lovin' be
Wrap in your cacoon tight,
Shut all the blinds to dim the light,
Match all your scars with the wreckless wars you've fought with the boys and think to yourself "maybe next time I'll do things right."
Loves the most dangerous game, snipping and clipping your heart away
Everyone's bringing something new, but as they leave so does a piece of you
There's forgiveness here, there's forgiveness there,
Redemption is near, just call on His name
Yeah we're getting off easy,
God makes all things new love and he'll do it for you
Pick up the pieces part by part, there's not enough glue to mend your heart
Be careful the pieces cut like glass, take a look at your hands, the blood, the mess
There's forgiveness here, there's forgiveness there,
Redemption is near, just call on His name
Yeah we're getting off easy,
God makes all things new love and he'll do it for you
Yeah the problem with forgiveness is the rope around your neck, and this feeling like your sinking is the product of regret
Lifting nooses off of shoulders is the business that He's in, leave the sorrow to the sinking and abandonement to sin
There's forgiveness here, there's forgiveness there,
Redemption is near, just call on His name
Yeah we're getting off easy,
Within the walls of captured land freedom's rise begins
Patrons of the lesser man whose lives began to dim
A word or law set to them upon their weary limbs
Then to look back on all their past day's grim
In the fall and rise of the lesser man's demise
A gathering of royals to blaze the final night
Marching violent crowds the feudal integration
Take the ruler's law to infernal destination
The meeting of the minds the first and last of time
Ends in bloody loss and sends them back chained inside
But the word of freedom's day in turn, the amnesty
And the prisoners in end set out to sight the sun's first rays
Amnesty! less than captive on this day
Amnesty! tortured loose the world will stay
Amnesty! in break to lead not to betray
Amnesty! set side all the chains
Amnesty! in a world of black and grey
Amnesty! the force will drive them to the day
Amnesty! the word of words all shall obey
Within the walls of captured land freedom's rise begins
Patrons of the lesser man whose lives began to dim
A word or law set to them upon their weary limbs
Then to look back on all their past day's grim
In the fall and rise of the lesser man's demise
A gathering of royals to blaze the final night
Marching violent crowds the feudal integration
Take the ruler's law to infernal destination
The meeting of the minds the first and last of time
Ends in bloody loss and sends them back chained inside
But the word of freedom's day in turn, the amnesty
And the prisoners in end set out to sight the sun's first rays
Amnesty! less than captive on this day
Amnesty! tortured loose the world will stay
Amnesty! in break to lead not to betray
Amnesty! set side all the chains
Amnesty! in a world of black and grey
Amnesty! the force will drive them to the day
“Doctor! Doctor! Check all the vitals
This tragedy struck is done and it's final
Don't you, don't you know it's been said?
You can be alive while already dead”
Once laid in darkness with no plan devised
The slightest glimpse of light would burn my eyes
I feel the life His wounds impart
Oh how much grace You've afforded to me!
Of a burden lifted from my heart
How many graces been given and free?
My chains fell off, my heart was free
Arose went forth and followed Thee
I was a slave to sin with wrists bound by steel
It was an open wound from which I could not heal
So dull I couldn't feel; Your fangs had caught my heel
Those lies they did conceal; the truth my God reveals
Hell is an open grave, my sin was pushing me in
Helpless you heard my cries
You are the hand to save, dove in You're pulling me out
Rescued from my demise
I feel the life His wounds impart
Oh how much grace You've afforded to me!
Of a burden lifted from my heart
How many graces been given and free?
My chains fell off, my heart was free
Arose went forth and followed Thee
I was a slave to sin with wrists bound by steel
It was an open wound from which I could not heal
So dull I couldn't feel; Your fangs had caught my heel
Those lies they did conceal; the truth my God reveals
Long had my soul been prison bound
Awaiting till the death march sounds
My chains fell off, my heart was free
Arose went forth and followed Thee
I feel the life His wounds impart
No longer prisoned I'll lay
I feel the Savior in my heart
Nothing will take that away
Nothing will take that away
Nothing will take that away
Nothing will take that away
Nothing will take that away
Take that away
I bow before the throne of amnesty
My sins are washed away, how can it be?
You rule with grace and love to show mercy
To show mercy
To show mercy
We want amnesty
From what you believe
To be above and beyond the law
But it ain't no thing
But just a prime example
Of the way things are run
Run in the wrong direction
No good for anyone, no
Protesting trivial matters
Is a waste of time
But when you're sending reckless youth
To the front line
Can only spur resistance
From both young and old
Because of special interest
That you keep to yourself, you
Increasing casualties
Becomes the result
Of patriotic bullshit
And it's all your fault
So we will flee the land
Until you decide
That you'll exonerate
Us from this imaginary crime
Amnesty
Amnesty
If I could be the man you idolize and sensualize the
wisdom of the hunt capture penalize free-thinking

meek free to think of me uncaring in the race of money
making climbing taking chances cancel those who gamble
ramble on about achieving still believing they can make
it...

The love you hate, the hate you need
Cause all your life you've traded me
The freedom for your amnesty
The lock and key that keeps you tied to me
The days you live and breathe
The "might have been" that you pretend
So you can cash our past in...
Now I stumble slowly forward through the twisted ethic
bore you with the details of the me inept but free to
push the morals fact debris of scattered ashes you
believe after the fashion now I see you for what you
came to be in person fact and fiction evolution self-
exertion charm them into your submission make them tow
the line to the letter better now than later how we
stand and take it is the measure of the better man than
he who claims to be the thinker blinks to find his fame
is never free...
I cannot reach you caught between
The love you hate, the hate you need
Cause all your life you've traded me
The freedom for your amnesty
The lock and key that keeps you tied to me
The days you live and breathe

So you can cash our past in...

Cause all your life you've traded me
The freedom for your pride...
