Welcome to the Simo's House

Dedicato a...

A chi insegue un sogno nella vita
ai tenaci, ai testardi, agli ostinati
a chi cade e si rialza
a chi ci prova sempre e a chi non molla mai.

Perché loro sono quelli che guardano avanti
quelli che sperimentano sempre
quelli che credono nel futuro e non smettono mai di sognare.
Quelli che si sentiranno vecchi
solo quando i rimpianti saranno superiori ai sogni.

 

 

Osservate con quanta previdenza la natura,
madre del genere umano, ebbe cura di spargere ovunque
un pizzico di follia. Infuse nell'uomo più passione che ragione
perché fosse tutto meno triste, difficile, brutto, insipido, fastidioso.
Se i mortali si guardassero da qualsiasi rapporto con la saggezza,
la vecchiaia neppure ci sarebbe. Se solo fossero più fatui,
allegri e dissennati godrebbero felici di un'eterna giovinezza.
La vita umana non è altro che un gioco della Follia.
Il cuore ha sempre ragione.

 

Questo film lo dedichiamo ai folli.
Agli anticonformisti, ai ribelli, ai piantagrane,
a tutti coloro che vedono le cose in modo diverso.
Costoro non amano le regole, specie i regolamenti
e non hanno alcun rispetto per lo status quo.
Potete citarli, essere in disaccordo con loro;
potete glorificarli o denigrarli ma
l'unica cosa che non potrete mai fare è ignorarli,
perché riescono a cambiare le cose,
perché fanno progredire l'umanità.
E mentre qualcuno potrebbe definirli folli
noi ne vediamo il genio;
perché solo coloro che sono abbastanza folli
da pensare di poter cambiare il mondo
lo cambiano davvero.

I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes All the sights that I have seen I can't believe that I believed I wished That you could see There's a new planet in the solar system There is nothing up my sleeve I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground And all this talk of time Talk is fine And I don't want to stay around Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes And sleep sweet dreams Me and you with wings on our feet I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears Sweetest dreams of you Look into the stars Look into the moon I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great (repeat following two verses 3 x each) I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great beyond I'm breaking through I'm bending spoons I'm keeping flowers in full bloom I'm looking for answers from the great   » Numb / Encore « (feat.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears, wish you were here. » Otherside « Text/Music: Anthony Kiedis, Michael Peter Balzary (Flea), John Frusciante, Chad Smith How long how long will I slide Separate my side I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever I heard your voice through a photograph I thought it up it brought up the past Once you know you can never go back I've got to take it on the otherside Centuries are what it meant to me A cemetery where I marry the sea Stranger things could never change my mind I've got to take it on the otherside Take it on the otherside Take it on... take it on How long how long will I slide Separate my side I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts She wants to know am I still a slut I've got to take it on the otherside Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed A candidate for my soul mate bled Push the trigger and pull the thread I've got to take it on the otherside Take it on the otherside Take it on... take it on How long how long will I slide Separate my side I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat it's all I ever . . . . . .

A Te

A te che sei l'unica al mondo, l'unica ragione per arrivare fino in fondo ad ogni mio respiro quando ti guardo dopo un giorno pieno di parole senza che tu mi dica niente tutto si fa chiaro a te che mi hai trovato all'angolo con i pugni chiusi con le mie spalle contro il muro pronto a difendermi con gli occhi bassi stavo in fila con i disillusi, tu mi hai raccolto come un gatto e mi hai portato con te, a te io canto una canzone perchè non ho altro, niente di meglio da offrirti di quello che ho prendi il mio tempo e la magia che con un solo salto ci fa volare dentro all'aria come bollicine a te che sei semplicemente sei, sostanza dei giorni miei, sostanza dei giorni miei a te che sei il mio grande amore ed il mio amore grande a te che hai preso la mia vita e ne hai fatto molto di più a te che hai dato senso al tempo senza misurarlo a te che sei il mio amore grande ed il mio grande amore a te che io ti ho visto piangere nella mia mano fragile che potevo ucciderti stringendoti un po' e poi ti ho visto con la forza di un aeroplano prendere in mano la tua vita e trascinarla in salvo a te che mi hai insegnato i sogni e l'arte dell'avventura a te che credi nel coraggio e anche nella paura a te che sei la miglior cosa che mi sia successa a te che cambi tutti i giorni e resti sempre la stessa a te che sei semplicemente sei, sostanza dei giorni miei, sostanza dei sogni miei, a te che sei essenzialmente sei, sostanza dei sogni miei, sostanza dei giorni miei, a te che non ti piaci mai e sei una meraviglia, le forze della natura si concentrano in te, che sei una roccia sei una pianta sei un uragano, sei l'orizzonte che mi accoglie quando mi allontano a te che sei l'unica amica che io posso avere l 'unico amore che vorrei se io non ti avessi con me, a te che mi hai reso la mia vita bella da morire, c he riesci a rendere la fatica un immenso piacere a te che sei il mio grande amore ed il mio amore grande a te che hai preso la mia vita e ne hai fatto molto di più a te che hai dato senso al tempo senza misurarlo a te che sei il mio amore grande ed il mio grande amore a te che sei semplicemente sei, sostanza dei giorni miei, sostanza dei sogni miei, e a te che sei semplicemente sei, compagna dei giorni miei, sostanza dei sogni miei.....

 

Yeah 

I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me

Hailie I know you miss your mom and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
Cuz you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Laney uncles crazy, aint he?
Yeah but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have gotten so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

[Chorus]
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise momma's gon' be alright

It's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
Cuz daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
Cuz daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broke into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars till someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
And you and Laney were to young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
Cuz all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sittin in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
Laney I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shh, momma's only gone for the moment

[Chorus]

And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'd go back to the jewler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)
