The illustration is by US artist Marq Spusta.

Paolo said: "I love the artwork and it contains a lot of references to my music."

The colourful cover features a girl with a watering can which is a reference to the song Growing Up Beside You.

Behind a painting of him is a jar with the words Simple Things - a reference to the song about his dad.

And Paolo's alter ego Snake Derrick and the Vipers also features in a poster on the wall alongside the date of their first "secret" performance at T in the Park.

Ten Out Of Ten

Lots of people want to try you girl
And I hope you tell them where to go
‘Cause I’ve got so much you to offer girl
Oh I love you more than you could know

Some people want to speed it up
In fact I want to slow it down
I want to give myself this love
And take you all over town

(chorus)

‘Cause we are motel due for the night babe
I wanna get ten out of ten
We are motel due for the night babe
I wanna get ten out of ten

Everybody's got opinion girl
And we're rushing up for a good idea
But the best one I can think of now
Is to make sure that I keep you near

When I lay in the taxi
Lay in the restaurant
To get ten out of ten
When I lay in the kitchen
Lay in the bedroom
To get ten out of ten

I know I've got to keep it up
‘Cause I can see you’re feeling down
I want to give myself this love
And take you all over town


 

Coming Up Easy - what's it about?:

Another stand out track is 'Coming Up Easy', which he suggests can be listened to from different perspectives. "Its about my own conflict I had about marijuana but you can hear it as a song about relationships, compromising, having to deal with someone else's emotions. It's about bad habits and breaking up, but I wanted to keep it positive."

Coming Up Easy

Sunday morning got the hazy hazy Janes
I turned to you and inhale you where you lay
Took a wander through the garden to await the long long day
And then rolled for a while on a violet flower bed

You kissed my lips again and again and again
And then again and then we
Would watch the sun coming up easy
While the rain came a' tumbling down
And it washed our bodies so clean that we could see the rise up off of the cold cold ground

It's a shame the way it seems to go
Cause now my best friend my partner in crime
I'm afraid it looks like were gonna have to go our separate ways

Cause you see the thing is I love you I love you
But you see I resent you all the same
All my other friends their just saying your slowing me down

Oh but I should have known you'd turn to me and say
Before you throw to much of me away
Don't you remember seeing the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down
And it washed our bodies so clean that we could see the rise up off of the cold cold ground

See the sun coming up easy
While the rain came tumbling down
And it washed our bodies so clean that we could see the rise up off of the cold cold ground

It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die (Repeated)
It was the sun coming up easy (Repeated)
We watch the sun coming up easy (X2)
It was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die (x2)
We watch the sun coming up easy (fade out)



 

Growing Up Beside You

Sitting beside you in school
While we'd paint I'd make you laugh
Mine was never very good
Yours looked exactly like the photograph
Looks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you

I don't always get the way you feel
But now I've learned to live with that
It's like I'm a part of something real
I was hitting the bottle, now I've broke the seal
Looks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you

Chorus:
And the sun sets the scene
While the rain misses me

And all the time I'll be growing, growing up beside you

 

Candy

I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sail
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
With the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless

'Cause I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
Before I go

Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
(And?) lay you down on your rug
(But?)give me some candy
After my heart

Oh, and I've tried and tried explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
When no matter what I give her
It gets held against my name

I wouldn't change nothing about you baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
'Cause I'm that stain there on your bedsheet (Line courtesy of imafan2)
You're the diamond in my rough

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
Before I go

Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
Lay you down on your rug
(But?) give me some candy
After my heart

Oh, darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
Before I go

And, oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
(Now?) give me some candy
After my heart

Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I'll be there waiting on you
I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you

 

 

Tricks Of The Trade

Was it love or recognition that has healed this mans condition
Oh I'm hoping and I'm wishing that this bird won't fly away
And we can see life hand in hand the green the blue the rough the sand
And in our time and in our land we'll savour every day

Oh how out glory may fade
Hey well at least we learned some things along the way

Oh you took me from my bubble knowing my defence was weak
And you sat there and you listened any time I chose to speak
Oh and you gathered from my pleades to you that I am but a clown
And I feel only a hero can defeat these demons now

Oh how out glory may fade
Hey well at least we learned some tricks of the trade

And as time shall inevitbly move on
At least we'll have 4 strong legs to stand on
To keep us alive



 


Pencil Full Of Lead:
Hvad mener han? Har du også spurgt dig selv om det? Her er et bud på en kort fortolkning:

"In the context that Paolo sings 'Pencil full of Lead' means he's got everything he needs and is ready, willing and able to take on the world."


Pencil Full Of Lead

I’ve got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head
I’ve got a pencil full of lead and some water for my throat
I’ve got buttons for my coat; and sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before

I got money in the meter and a two bar heater
Now it’s getting hotter Oh it’s only getting sweeter
I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair
Pot and a pan and some shoes on my feet

I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth
A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock
I got food in my belly and a license for my telly
And nothing’s gonna bring me down


I got a nice guitar and tyres on my car
I got most of the means; and scripts for the scenes
I’m out and about, so I’m in with a shout
I got a fair bit of chat but better than that
Food in my belly and a license for my telly
and nothing's going to bring me down

Nothing’s gonna bring me down
But best of all (best of all)
I’ve got my baby
But best of all (best of all)
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine
And nothing’s going to bring me down


But best of all (best of all)
I’ve got my baby
But best of all (best of all)
I’ve got my baby
She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine

 

No Other Way

Darlin' my frustration
It gets me, it gets me where it hurts me most.
Like five rapid to the gut its not so easy to see.
And I've been gone far, far to long
To expect you not to change even a little bit
And I guess I hope im still the kind of guy
Your needin for your fool.

Cos' life's a bowl here on the road and these four wheels
Oh but something about the whole thing
It doesnt feel real

Work my days for you
Cos' I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you
and i cant see no other way

Darlin' I work my days for you
cuz i love you girl, I don't want you
I need you
and I can't see no other way

Oh this separation
It really gets you thinkin
And all those used up clichés
Well they've worn off in the wind
And I, I wonder if your half as innocent as you assured me
Or if you thank him for his time and just never call again

Oh oh and after all the lights and shows and long hope lanes
It'd be you and me again
But until then

I work my days for you
Cos' I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you I cant see no other way

Oh darlin' I work my days for you
Cos' I love you girl, I don't want you
I need you
And I can't see no other way

Oh live im home
So love me and im home babe
Oh so touch me

Yeah im home
So kiss me, like you do
Kiss me babe baby
But I'll do it for you

Ohh babe, yeaahhh babyyy
I want you babe
I'm, i'm home babe
So take me in your arms
Oh babe, baby
Love me like you do
Oh kiss me like you do
And baby you bet I'll do it for you
Ohh nooo
Hold me like you do



 

High Hopes

My hopes are high
But my eyes can’t believe what they see
Oh, give me something to believe in, give me something to believe

I’ve got lucky in life, and had plenty to eat
And I saw this world as one big bowl of opportunity
Oh but there’s too much mind corruption
Too little remedy
Oh that’s how it seems to me
We all need a moral education to set our minds free

My hopes are high
But my eyes can’t believe what they see
Oh, give me something to believe in, give me something to believe

So let us change what we can, and accept what we can’t
And impart some of the wisdom from the tried and tested man
There’s no harm in being wrong you know,
In fact to me it’s common ground
Don’t you think so?
So take that feather from your cap sir, and pass that feather around

My hopes are high
But my eyes can’t believe what they see
Oh, give me something to believe in, give me something to believe

 

Chamber Music

Sweet little Rosie, my softest machine,
Bounces with me on my big trampoline.
Childish and silly we're part of a team,
Me and my Rose on my big trampoline.

I was a shadow, I'd smoke and I'd sleep.
'till you came and I opened like a flower to the heat.
And now Rosie she tells me of things that she's seen,
With flowers in her hair on my big trampoline.


Simple Things

If you love the life you live then you'll get a lot more done
Be more inclined to take the reins than turn away and run
It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,
So I suppose self satisfaction be the key
My father is a wealthy, self made man
But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land
Instead he has a family who are his biggest fans
That's something that I one day hope to have
So I'll cherish the simple things
The easy took for granted things
Like going round my Mum's house for my tea
And argue with my sister,
Only God knows how I missed her
It's the simple things that mean the most to me

Argh, he gets up each day at five
Starts the car and makes the drive
Shutters up, starts the fryers
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
As they stand there in the same old line
Get there every day at the same old time
No, you never hear him grumble and groan
Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on
And like me he cherished the simple things
the easy took for granted things
Like going round his Mum's house for my tea
And argue with his sister,
Only God knows how he missed her
It's the simple things tha mean the most to him





Worried Man

Oh worries are about
And heavy on his gut
He feels he's being punished
For the bad things he has done

Help him Jesus, help him
Send him down a sign
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time

And he is sitting at the table
The table he has set
He is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect

Help him Jesus, help him
Walk along the line
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time

He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He is worried now
But he won't be worried long

He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
When she heard what he had to say
All that sun soon went away
He broke her heart on a cold and rainy day

He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He is worried now
But he won't be worried long

And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
Shadows cast but none obscure his sight
And they wonder where he is going
While he is knelt before her throat
Refusing to go down without a fight

He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He is worried now
But he won't be worried long






Keep Rolling


Keep Rolling,
Rolling
Steady from the bay
And I'll be bad to see you girl
Should you return someday

Keep Rolling,
Rolling
Steady from the bay
And I'll be bad to see you girl
Should you return someday






Nye og gamle Paolo numre



Covernumre

Det er næsten ikke fair, at tale om covernumre, når vi taler om Paolo. Han gør det bare så godt, når han synger andres numre, fordi han formår at gøre dem til sine egen.
Nogle af mine ynglinge er:

Paolo Nutini - 'Coming Up Easy'

Fraser McAlpine | 15:35 UK time, Monday, 3 August 2009

Paolo Nutini

Of all the musical surprises which have happened in 2009, the en-good-ification of Paolo Nutini is the one that no-one could have predicted. Not even his most ardent fans. In making his comeback album 'Sunny Side Up' sound like a brilliant collection of some of the best musical ideas of the last 500 years - from folky flutes to Jungle Book jazz to jumpy ska - all delivered in a witchy Scots crone voice, he's jumped over all the other moany old singer-songwriters queueing up to let the world hear their timid thoughts in their weedy squeaks, and nabbed a well-deserved No.1 album into the bargain.

What's more, people are talking about this record, and recommending it, and passing it along, in a way that all record companies DREAM of. Dad's birthday present has never been so easy, and for once, the same goes for the entire family, from elder/younger siblings to groovy uncles, grans and grandads to pre-nage jitterkids. So long as you can get past the old lady voice, great treasures await you.

This, while a nice song, is not one of the most precious treasures. Which makes it an odd choice for a single.

( Here's the video . Bad bunny! In your hutch!)

The trouble is, the one thing Paolo should have maybe stopped himself from doing is the painstaking recreation of that big Jools Holland-approved '60s soul sound. Y'know, like in The Commitments. He's got the voice for it, he clearly knows the turf well enough to pen a decent ditty in that style, but compared to the giddy fun of 'Pencil Full Of Lead', or the spiralling South American folk-gospel of 'High Hopes', 'Coming Up Easy' just sounds too reverential to the past. Too obvious.

Everything from the purring Hammond organ to the busy bassline, from the staccato guitars to the chirruping brass, says "this is the proper way to do it", as if music is some kind of jigsaw puzzle. When actually, the reason the rest of the album flies like it does is that some of the edge pieces - edge pieces from entirely different puzzles, I might add - are in the middle, in a beautifully-arranged jumble.

Even the fadeout, where Paolo wails "it was in love I was created and in love is how I hope I die" over and over, is held back slightly by the idea that he's attempting to keep a musical seat warm while the person who owns it - Otis Redding, perhaps - has nipped to the loo. And while we are all used to hearing this kind of hero worship on modern records (Mr Ronson! So nice to see you), it's not the way you should go about advertising that you've recorded a great album which - mostly - does not do this.
