WHAT AM I DOING HERE
03:03

What am I doing here?
Led to this place by unemployment and fear
In my desire to please everyone
I’ve wasted so much time
Got nothing done
What am I doing here?
Too bored and lazy for what they call a career
All the opportunities that I have blown
But now it’s too late
My life is gone
Among these things I should have never done
And these people I should have never met
There is just one I can’t forget
There is someone I won’t forget
So, what am I doing here?
Chained to this place by unemployment and fear
In my desire to please everyone
I’ve wasted so much time
My life is gone
And now it’s too late
My life is gone
And in this place I should have never seen
Among these people I should have never met
There is someone I can’t forget
Among these things I should have never done
And these people I should have never met
There is just one I can’t forget
There is someone I won’t forget
So, what am I doing here?

HABIT
04:13
|

|
I gave you my records
I gave you my books
But that wasn’t everything that you took
You pushed me into the depths that I most fear
That’s when you’ve grabbed everything I’ve let you steal
And then you left me here
With a two-packs a day habit
(and a) Bucketful of tears
Never heard of a habit
That doesn’t hurt
And some of them leave you down in the dirt
I used to suck on your lips
Like I suck on cigarettes
I used to draw life
Now I'm just breathing death
‘Cause you left me here
With a two-packs a day habit
(and a) Bucketful of tears
A bucketful of tears
I gave you my records
I gave you my books
And I wish that was everything that you took
I’ve plunged into the waters that I most fear
But when I turned around I couldn’t see you near
Where were you dear?
I've got a two-packs a day habit
(and a) Bucketful of tears
Two packs a day habit
And a bucketful of tears
Where are you dear?
I've got a two-packs a day habit
(and a) Bucketful of tears

How did it ever come to this?
She's the only one I love
And she thinks I'm a creep
How did it ever end up like this?
She's the only girl I love
Now she thinks I'm a creep
Creep, creep, creep
When we started out
Everything seemed just alright
And I can't recall
Just when I started losing fight
What did I do wrong?
She pushed me away with all her might
And I started to crawl
That's when I fell out of her sight
I had been crawling too long down at her feet
I couldn't keep it up
Now she thinks I'm a creep
She thought I'd be her own friendly geek
But I had to quit
Now she thinks I'm a creep
Creep, creep, creep
And I’ve let her go
I was not able to reply
It was just my fault
I should have kept her by my side
But I couldn't control
What was burning from inside
Who was right or wrong?
It just doesn’t matter
Now she's tired, tired, tired
I guess I'll have to live with this
Now she’s lost respect
And she thinks I'm a creep
I wanted to show her my love was deep
The pain was just too much
Now she thinks I'm a creep
Creep, creep, creep
When we started out
Everything seemed just alright
And I can't recall
Just when I started losing fight
What did I do wrong?
She pushed me away with all her might
And I started to crawl
That's when I fell out of her sight
How did it ever come to this?
She's the only girl in the world
Who believes I'm a creep
How could it ever end up like this?
She's the only one I love
Now she thinks I'm a creep
Creep, creep, creep

I GET YOU THINGS
02:43
|
|||
|
I get you things
'Cause I don't believe
That anyone would stand by me
Just for the simple pleasure of my company
This is why I get you things
I give you things
Like these rock LPs
You know they mean the world to me
Just for the simple pleasure of your company
This is why I get you things
I’m not putting a price tag on your time
I’m just so insecure
And it hurts deep inside
I know you’re not someone you can buy
But this fear of losing you
Cuts deep, like a knife
I get you things
'Cause I don't believe
That anyone could stand by me
Just for the simple pleasure of my company
This is why I get you things
I give you things
Like these DVDs
These books and perfumes
Necklace beads
For the simple pleasure of your company
This is why I get you things
I’ve never had anyone in my life
I swear that is the truth
And it cuts like a knife
I’ve never had anyone in my life
I have to speak the truth
But it hurts deep inside
I get you things
And it’s plain to see
I do it because I don’t believe in me
Do it because I don’t believe in me
I do it because I don’t believe in me

THE FEAR
02:16
|
|||
|
In my fear of losing you
I agree with the silly things you do
And the pretentious things you say you like
Are everything that I always have despised
Not to let you pass me by
I've died a thousand times inside
Every time I hear you whine
About things I’ve already left behind
Not to contradict you
I have lied and lied
In my desire to please you
I’ve died a thousand times
And the sickest joke of them all
Is that now you think I have no bones at all
You must think that I have no soul
When it's love I crave after all
Not to contradict you
I have lied and lied
In my desire to please you
I’ve died a thousand times
I haven't changed
Haven't changed
Still the same
Haven't changed
You always liked my confidence
But now I lose each argument
My opinions I always need to hide
As you spit, bully, judge, and criticise
And as I numb my intellect
I feel I'm losing your respect
But it's something I just I can't help
With you, my wit I need to neglect
Not to contradict you
I have lied and lied
In my desire to please you
I have died a thousand times
I haven't changed
Haven't changed
Still the same
Haven't changed
I still hate you and your kind!

LOVED FOR THE FIRST TIME
02:19
|
|||
|
The way she got so close to me
Was just mysterious and bold
I had never felt that way
That’s when she left me in the cold
I was being loved for the first time
I was being loved for the first time
She touched my body and my soul
Like no one had done before
Wish I’d been able to confess
That I have always been alone
But I was being loved for the first time
I was given love for the first time
And I should have told you
How inexperienced I was
I should have told you
Instead, I scared you forevermore
She went through my life so fast
And now she's found a brand-new home
Wish that I had been that brave
Or just enough to let her know
I was being loved for the first time
I was given love for the first time
And I should have told you
How inexperienced I was
I should have told you
Instead, I scared you for evermore
I should have told you
I was being loved for the first time
And the last

Since I dropped you at the airport
I’d been longing for you to come back
You were my only true devotion
The greatest love I ever had
But in the evening when you called me
On an online video chat
You told me you just met a cool guy
I shouldn’t worry about that
Did it mean anything to you?
All the love that I had for you?
‘Cause that was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind, forever in my mind
Yeah, that was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind, forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
In the room of a French grand hotel
You were dressing up to meet a brand-new man
I asked you what he was like
And you said ‘Sad but true!
But I must tell you baby
He’s much cooler than you’
Did it mean anything to you?
Do you know what you put me through?
‘Cause that was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind, forever in my mind
That was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind
Forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
When I asked you ‘What is happening?’
You said ‘Nothing, he’s just a new friend!’
But we both knew there was something deeper than that
We hung up on each other as you were getting dressed
You never looked more stunning
And I knew that was the end
Do you know what you put me through?
I almost killed myself for you
‘Cause that was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind, forever in my mind
Yeah, that was the night
The night I watched myself die
Replay and rewind, forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
Forever in my mind
The night I watched myself die
Forever in my mind
The night I watched myself die
Die, die, die!
Die, die, die!

The moment I’ve let you into my life
You cut through it just like a knife
I've let you in my world of loneliness
I wish I knew more about self-defense
Now I'm getting drunk on a lonely bench
Where dogs piss blood and you can't help the stench
I guess I've been your monkeywrench
Because I don't live in Belgium and I am not French
This machine kills heartaches
You know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish it could kill you too
This machine kills heartaches
You know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish…
Now you're with someone with boring tattoos
Drinking wine in fancy shoes
And all the things I've learned in school
Couldn't save me from being your fool
So, I'm writing these songs just to find some sense
Yes, now you can call my crime self-defense
But I guess I've been your monkeywrench
Because I'm not a professor and I'm not French
This machine kills heartaches
You know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish it could kill you too
This machine kills heartaches
You know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish it could kill you too
And I don’t like what I'm singing
And I think it's no fun
But I’m thankful all I ever got was a guitar
Instead of a gun
Sometimes I don’t like what I'm singing
And I think it's no fun
But I’m thankful all I ever got was a guitar
Instead of a gun
This machine kills heartaches
You know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish it could kill you too
This machine kills heartaches
you know that's all guitars can do
This machine kills heartaches
And I wish
Yeah, I wish
It could kill you too

THE BIRTHDAY CURSE
02:47
|
|||
|
It’s been twelve years now
Since you’ve been gone
Been trying to make it
On my own
Am I over you?
I lately say that I am
But this time for your birthday
I’ll present you with some truth
Instead
Last year, they stole my car
The year before, I went too far
Three years ago, they beat me up and nicked my purse
You have to know that since you left me baby
I’ve been going from bad to worse
And something weird always happens on your birthday
I guess I’ll call it The Birthday Curse
The Birthday Curse
This date haunts me
Like a rowdy ghost
I’ve tried to forget it
But I’m making it worse
I’ve ripped my calendar
But it just doesn’t work
‘Cause deep down inside me
I’d rather die
Than let you go
This year, I’ll crash my car
Right after that, I’ll hit a bar
And drink like I never drank before
You have to know that since you left me baby
I’ve been going from bad to worse
And something weird always happens on your birthday
I guess I’ll call it The Birthday Curse
You have to know that since you left me baby
I’ve been going from bad to worse
Something weird always happens on your birthday
I guess I’ll call it The Birthday Curse
The Birthday Curse
It’s the Birthday Curse
And it will only get worse.

You're a bright young girl
There are many things in life you will be
So baby, why do you waste your love on me?
You're a smart young thing
So many places where you must go
So baby, I guess I’ll have to let you know
I'm just a miserable guy
Who doesn't know how to be happy or free
Please darling, don't you waste your life with me
You're such a clever girl
It won’t take you too long to see
That it’s no use to waste your time om me
And there’s a world out there
So many people you still have to know
So baby, I guess I’ll have let you go.
‘Cause you're a bright young girl
So many things in life you can be
Please darling, don’t you waste your love on me
And I’m a lonely old wreck
Who never learned how life should be lived
No baby, don't you waste your love on me
You must promise, you won’t waste your love on me
No baby, don’t waste your love on me…

PARAGRAPH
02:17
|
|||
|
I wrote a song or two about you
In fact, I wrote a record or three
I've been quite frank about it
I hope you took it personally
But there's a question on my mind
A doubt that's puzzling me
If you ever get to write your memories
Will there be a paragraph about me?
I've been your dirty secret too long
A threat to your dignity
I guess I even stand accused
Of jeopardizing your productivity
You’ve never introduced me to your friends
Let alone your family
If you ever get to write your memories
Will there be a paragraph about me?
‘Cause you’ve got so many problems
But not one of self esteem
So, if you ever get to write your memories
Will there be a paragraph about me?
Will there be a little mention of me?
Or am I too square to be seen?

Ferro Solo Bologna, Italy
My name is Ferruccio Quercetti. I'm based in Bologna, Italy. Since 1996, I'm part of a band called CUT. A few years ago, I've started writing music on my own again, under the name of Ferro Solo. So far, I've released two albums which belong to a single story told in songs. It's called Almost Mine (pts. 1 & 2). These are the songs that kept me alive when nothing was making sense to me anymore. ... more
