Winehouse won three Ivor Novello Awards: in 2004, Best Contemporary Song for "Stronger Than Me"; in 2007, Best Contemporary Song again, this time for "Rehab"; and in 2008, Best Song Musically and Lyrically for "Love Is a Losing Game." She won the 2007 Brit Award for Best British Female Artist, having also been nominated for Best British Album, with Back to Black.
There's something
That upsets man
More than anything else,
A word is not enough
To define it.
Hate, fear, terror, anguish,
Anger and bitterness,
The will to hit back,
The desperation for the deads,
Rancour exploding
Towards the guilty heads.
Ideological hate.
Implacable.
Always present through the centuries.
The vile and brutal scorn for life.
Billions of people that think,
Talk and suffer
From the same incredible event
Only one point.
Nothing else.
We are here powerless.
We would like
To not be part of this history,
But we are.
And we're on one side, inevitably.
We're humans, man/men/wolves.
The world revolves
In the same old way.
Life will never change.
Never.
And God will have pity and mercy
For our souls,
God will have pity and mercy
Even for their' s.
For this reason we'll fight,
Aware of the mistake
We're about to make.
