Alice - Un’Altra Vita by Franco Battiato from Gioielli Rubati (Stolen Jewels) Another Life Certain nights I start reading to get to sleep, but I’d need a momentary silence instead. Sometimes, and you know I love you, I pointlessly get angry with you too without good reason. On the streets in the morning heavy traffic wears me out, traffic lights and stop signs make me nervous, and at night I get back home with special uneasiness. Tranquilizers or therapies are of no use, it takes another life. On sofas, surrendered to remotes in our hands, background stories such as “Dallas“ and “The rich also cry“*. On the streets the third rail of the subway is in progress while cars are triple-parked, and at night I get back home with nuisance and weariness. Stimulants or ideologies don’t help, it takes another life .(*) Mexican soap opera Un’Altra Vita Certe notti per dormire
