Raf - Self Contol - WWF Club

Esta canción originalmente fue escrita por los compositores italianos Giancarlo Bigazzi y Piccolo Steve para su compatriota Raf (Raffaele Riefoli), que era un cantante "New Wave" muy conocido en el pais del Calcio. La versión de Raf , publicada en 1983, destacaba por su interesante uso de sintetizadores y por ser una oscura balada que mezclaba toda la energía Disco-Tecno-Pop. Con "Self Control", Raf se hizo famoso en toda Europa, especialmente en los clubes de baile y el movimiento Underground ochentero.

Self Control (Original version)

Oh, the night is my world

City lights, painted girls

In the day nothing matters

It's the night-time that flatters

In the night, no control

Through the wall something breaking

Wearing white as you're walkin'

Down the street of my soul

You take my self, you take my self control

You got me livin' only for the night

Before the morning comes, the story's told

You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by

I never stop myself to wonder why

You make me forget to play my role

You take my self, you take my self control

I, I live among the creatures of the night

I haven't got the will to try and fight

Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it

That tomorrow never comes again

Night, I'm living in a moment of dream

I know the night is not as it would seem

I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it

That this night will never go

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, the night is my world

City light painted girl

In the day nothing matters

It's the night-time that flatters

(Oh the night) You take my self

(Is my world) You take my self control

(City lights) You got me living

(Painted girls) Only for the night

(In the day) Before the morning

(Nothing matters) Comes the story's told

(It's the night) You take my self

(Time that flatters) You take my self control

I say night

(You take my self, you take my self control)

I live among the creatures of the night

(You take my self, you take my self control)

I haven't got the will to try and fight

(You take my self, you take my self control)

Against a new tomorrow

So I guess I'll just believe it

(You take my self, you take my self control)

That tomorrow never knows

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh! (You take my self, you take my)

(x4)

(Oh, oh, oh!) You take my self, (Oh, oh, oh!)

You take my self control (Oh, oh, oh!)

You take my self, (Oh, oh, oh!)

You take my self control (Oh, oh, oh!)

(x3)
