Palermo (Italian: [paˈlɛrmo] ( listen), Sicilian: Palermu, Latin: Panormus, from Greek: Πάνορμος, Panormos, Arabic: بَلَرْم, Balarm; Phoenician: זִיז, Ziz) is a city in Southern Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Province of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The city was founded by the Phoenicians, but named by the Ancient Greeks as Panormus meaning 'always fit for landing in.' Palermo became part of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and eventually part of the Byzantine Empire, for over a thousand years. From 827 to 1071 it was under Arab rule during the Emirate of Sicily when it first became a capital. Following the Norman reconquest, Palermo became capital of a new kingdom (from 1130 to 1816), the Kingdom of Sicily. Eventually it would be united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Two Sicilies until the Italian unification of 1860.
I am a theme park
Paolo Rumi
Here are my gates
Come into me
I'm a dream park
Here in the rain
Filling the waves
Troubling space
With my SOS
Down the parade
Over the sea
Come follow me
I'm a theme park
I'm a DJ
All through the night
Trying to be dumb
Asserting the right to be different
From everyone else
Seeking someone
To join me so we can be
Different
In the same way
Paolo Rumi
The minotaur guy
The labyrinth guide
On the mother of rides
I'm a theme park
Come step inside
Come be my bride
Frankenstein's just a working class guy
In the kitsch world of pop
His salvation
I am a dream park
I ride a white swan
On a black pond
On and on
Through the hot nights
Towards cities of papier mache
I'm a theme park
The bride was a man
The family planned
The three of us there in the ghost house
We're the deviant ones
The long way we've come
The burdens we've borne
Will one day be etched on our face
But not yet - we're still young
Too young to be crushed by the weight (of your
difference)
Of your difference from us
I'm a poem
J. Alfred Prufrock
Sinking my teeth in the peach
I am a dream park
Advertising
Learning to love the consumer society
I am a DJ
Filling the waves
Troubling space
With my SOS
I'm a DJ
From the revolution
Advertising
Emotional states
Trying to discover intelligent life upon Earth
someplace
(Trying to be dumb, trying to be bright)
I'm a DJ
All through the night
Trying to be dumb
Trying to be different from everyone else
Seeking someone to join me
So we can be different the same way
A theme park (here are my gates)
You have no choice
Here are my gates
Group using a loop
Of another pop group
Group shooting a hoop
And starving it up in to the soup
Cos I'm of regular features
And Adidas trainers
Completing the cycle
Until the teenage maniacs
Can bring it on back

Osservo con timore Bolormaa la Contorta
Concetto fatto carne nervi viscere legamenti
Sinuoso movimento
Monito terrorista che la retta è per chi ha fretta
Non conosce pendenze smottamenti rimonte
Densamente spopolata è la felicità
Densamente spopolata è la felicità
Preziosa
La felicità è senza limite e viene e va
La felicità è senza limite e viene e va
Viene
Viene e poi se ne va
Splendida Bolormaa arresa all'amore
Fluida contorta molle resistente
Lascia fluire il dolore
Che la felicità è senza limite
E va e viene
Ballroom blitz on the way home
You made up my mind
Tall room within out in the yard
We were given some time
And I
Oh I remain sorta sick
Now that I know
What was written in stone
And i still believe if you were around
We'd go out on the town
Ballroom blitz fell on the floor
You made up my mind
Oh why didn't I?
Oh I remain sorta sick
Now that I know what was written in stone
We used to talk about
If everything was right
The way we spent our time
It's hard to believe
Grow toward the design
Glory and laughter
Hope high tide will be
Ballroom blitz on the way home
You'd made up my mind
Tall room within out in the yard
She used to fall down, down a lot
I don't care cos she's all I've got
It tears me up inside. What can I do
So don't let me down. I did everything
that a man could do. I can't stop
myself from loving you. Forever.
But I'm so tired. I'm so wired
I can't let you go. I'm feeling uneasy
just please me. I can't let you go
So take me by the hand. make me
understand. maybe you're the only one
who ever loved me. Maybe I have
done. All I can.
You could say it's a waste of time
I don't care when your eyes meet mine
Nothing in the world. Could keep me
from you. So don't let me down. I did
everything that a man could do. I
can't stop myself from loving you.
Forever
But I'm so tired. I'm so wired
I can't let you go. I'm feeling uneasy
just please me. I can't let you go
So take me by the hand. make me
understand. maybe you're the only one
who ever loved me. Maybe I have
done. All I can. So take me by the hand.
Make me understand. Maybe you're the only
one who ever loved me. But you were very
In my playroom windows shut
Purple carpet, smell of slaughter
Waiting for the game to start
Setting all the toys in order
Shadows dancing on the walls
Weird sounds drill my ears
Playing with my pretty toys
Seeing death in their tears
Moony circle, yellow hole
On the blackened midnight curtain
What about your mortal soul
Is it still remain uncertain?
Death is just an open gate
Dive inside it, cross the border
Welcome to another state
Welcome to the Empty Quarter
Door is open, please come in
Toys are waiting for you coming
Join my endless suffering
Feel how slowly time is running
Would you like to have some drink?
Take a seat in rocking chair
Blood is colder than you think
Taste a bit and don't beware
So much horror you will feel
Noone felt so much before you
You will see how I can kill
Locked inside my paranoia
Thoughts and fears all hide away
Bloody stains on dirty ceiling
This is how I like to play
And as I say, "Don't worry," you turn around and look the other way. Why can't you explain you don't believe a word I say? And when she said she'd leave you, I never thought that she would mean for me. Despite of what she needs, try not to turn your back on me.
'Cause you know I'm on your side. (I know the truth is always blind to you.) Don't tell me you feel fine. I know it's just the jealous mind.
I know I'm on your side. The things she said are not quite what they seemed. So let me dry your eyes. I know you're not afraid to cry.
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh.
And when you said, "Don't worry," I turned around and looked the other way. I wish I could explain I don't believe a word you say. You knew she'd always need me, and never was my favorite point of view. Despite of what you knew, I'm not born to believe the truth.
You know I'm on your side. (I know, but truth is always blind to me.) Don't tell me you feel fine. I know it's just the jealous mind.
The reason of attacks
Are lead by all of those facts
Who creep on my mind since 1989
Since this year, I'm so tired of abuse
Of authority, and violence that they use
Violence that they use like criminals and thief
And violence that they use on people like you and me
I want peace I want respect, on the street
I don't want to be afraid by this
BLUE ARMY
REF: It's time to stop this brutality
Police have to protect me (2x)
You say it's just an error but in fact
It's for colour, but one thing that I'm sure
Cops will be like that
for ever (3x)
I don't want to generalize
But I have to talk about
All of those who denied the
Truth (2x)
REF: It's time to stop this brutality
The girl with red eyes
In her orange dress
Arms crosswise
Dances like a dervish
Her skirt's going up and down
Rabbits are jumping from her dress
Leaping about on the floor
Like from a wizard's hat
Welcome to the modern dance hall
The Orchestra man
Counts elephants and frogs
Marching from her skirt
He's banging the bell
Butterflies take off
Invading all the ball room
The girl with red eyes
In her orange dress
Arms crosswise
Dances like a dervish
Tables and chairs
Keep spinning around her
Whales, deers and crocodiles
Inundate the place
The animal crowd crawls
Clinging to the fairy lights
Nibbling and eating the walls
Tearing at the night
Tables and chairs
Keep spinning around her
Whales, deers and crocodiles
Inundate the place
The animal crowd crawls
Clinging to the fairy lights
Nibbling and eating the walls
Bookmark this place remember the blue room
Thirty meters from the train
A drunken revelry every night on the outside
All together now on the refrain
Take a picture there of the blue room
Third floor, zebra stripes and lace
Sun shines on the outside
Inside never on her face
January loved socials
January tried
January's eyes were closed when we loved
January lied
The wind whistles there as she wanders
Through the cracks and the panes
Geegaws, lotions and hohum
But everything sure had its place
Silence there in the blue room
Some things never change
A soft bed blue song with red light
But it all gets away someday
January was tumbleweed
January was a whore
January made my heart sing
January is no more
Turn your collar to the north wind
To the cold and the damp
And if you are going to write your name on the water
You sure better know how to laugh
January loved sunshine
Solitude but not alone
January is gone now
One Soul.
Forever,
Vibration Throughout.
Divine Will to Power,
The All, The AUM..
Change not..
..Polar Strobe,
I NOUS I AM.
Pleroma...
...Now Eternal.
One Will.
(Are you ready, Steve? )
(Uh huh)
(Andy? )
(Yeah)
(Mick? )
(Okay)
(Alright fellas - let's go! )
It's been getting so hard living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange - I could tell you everything I see
I see a man in the back - as a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner - let no one ignore her - she thinks she's the passionate one
(Oh yeah)
It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I want to warn you it'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
Reaching out for something - touching nothing's all I ever do
I softly call you over - when you appear there's nothing left of you
And the man in the back is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's mourner - she could kill you with a wink of her eye
(Oh yeah)
It was electric
So frantically hectic
And the band started leaving
'cause they all stopped breathing
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I want to warn you it'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
Ballroom Blitz
(Oh yeah)
It was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And the man in the back said, "Everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said, "Boy, I want to warn you it'll turn into a ballroom blitz"
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
Ballroom Blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
It's, it's a ballroom blitz
