"IInternational press has called costanza " tricky's new inspirational muse " and referenced her to such respected female artists as bjork and pj harvey. trip-hop guru musical maverick, and former massive attack member tricky referred to her as a female version of myself.

Italian multi-instrumentalist, Costanza Francavilla formed the rock band "Etnia" in 1995, where she was singer songwriter and guitar player...sonic youth and post-rock sounds meet pink floyd atmospheres...after many shows in Italy, a stint in London, and the auto-production of a 4 track cd ("subway scenes"), the band split in 1998... Costanza moved to London building up her solo project. she then started to auto-produce her songs with a for 4 track tape-recorder and a drum-machine. The influence of London "pre-millennium" electronica scene begins ... "minimal lo-fi drum-machine tunes... first approach to synthesizers... rough electric guitars... just few chords ... noises and voices... sensual and blurred... she whispers ....and screams loud..."on the 17th of December 2001, Tricky trip-hop guru and "Bristol sound" maverick and member of massive attack, one of Costanza's favorite artists ever, came to play in Rome. Costanza managed to give Tricky's drummer (Perry Melius) a demo Cd (with 3 songs written, performed and produced by her).the day after tricky called her asking to work with her: the collaboration started.

In spring 2002 she moved to L.A. to begin recording Tricky's new album vulnerable (released in June 2002) singing on every songs and co-writing 2 of them (stay and what is wrong). In fall 2002 a limited 2 cd's-edition of Tricky's blowback album came out featuring Costanza song my head. In summer 2003, Costanza performed live on Tricky's "13" tour all around europe appearing nearly all the major festivals such as Glastonbury, London meltdown festival, T in the park, Doctor music festival (Spain), Vilar de Mouros (Portugal), Exit (Serbia), Les Eurockennes (France), Witness festival (Ireland)…Her song desire was released in the electronica compilation back to mine (tricky) in 2003.

Zerokilled is a five tracks EP written & produced by Costanza : an introduction to upcoming album including "burqa" and "I've been waiting for you" used in Csi (crime scene investigation) fifth season ("nesting dolls" and "compulsion" episodes). Starting the summer of 2006 Costanza's "in the sun" is been used on Csi 6th season (episode 623 "bang bang") and from march 2007 "burqa" on the L world (episode 410 "little boy blue").

These days, Costanza is based in Brooklyn, New York. She works out of her new studio, where she alternates her music production with different forms of multimedia art. She recently performed at CMJ New York city and she plays Tripnotic solo sets in the underground NYC venues such as Tonic.

"...from the striking sensuality of 'I've been waiting for you,' to the thorny anguish of 'baby soldier,' and the abrasive women's liberation electro-punk anthem of 'all the girls get together and rule,' to the tender antimilitarist wrath of 'burqa,' the "zerokilled" ep reveals an artist in state of grace, totally inspired and "ready to fly." classic trip-hop beats float and merge into indie-rock sensations, along with alluring lyrics like a silent scream you just can't help but listen to. it sounds great and that's all we need". (Federico Fiume Rolling Stones Italia)

Stay

Tricky:
Don’t wanna stay
Don’t wanna stay

Costanza:
I don’t really care or share with you
I would rather walk alone
I‘m forgetting where I was

I don’t really think it’s fair of you
I would rather stay at home
I’m forgetting just because

Costanza & Tricky:
Don’t wanna stay or lay with you
Don’t want another day
Day with you
Don’t wanna stay or lay with you
Don’t want another day
Day with you
Don’t wanna stay

Costanza:
No don’t try to manipulate
I would rather take control
I’m knowing where I was
Don’t you ever try to feel my hate
I would rather feel nothing
I know we’re losing love

Costanza & Tricky:
Don’t wanna stay or lay with you
Don’t want another day
Day with you
Don’t wanna stay or lay with you
Don’t want another day
Day with you
Don’t wanna stay

Costanza:
I don’t really care or share with you

Antimatter

Costanza:
Round round
Round round

Costanza & Tricky:
I’m antimatter
I don’t matter
Cancer phones
Break my bones

I’m illusion
Sonic solution
Magic mind
Sonic pollution

I just detox
I just see lots
I see nothing
Show me something

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

(We go round)
I have visions
Homosapiens
Fast I’ve grown
I think alone
I’m confusion

Evolution
I’m in man cub
Institution
I move forward
I make awkward

I just jump jump
I just thump thump

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

I evolve
Then dissolve
Maintain my laws
‘til April falls

My sea runs red
My trees are dead
My breath runs short
Please report

Is there someone out there
Is there someone out there
Do you receive me
Do you receive me

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(repeated)

Ice Pick

Tricky:
Little blood clock
You could never test I
You come close
Just close my left eye
See with my third
The rest you never heard
Executive roosters
And pop producers
What you’re used ta
I get looser
I can use ya, abuse ya
Fuck what you’re used to
I’m gonna lose you
I’m not what I used to
I see thru ya
I see thru ya
I see thru ya

Costanza:
I’m needy
I’m greedy
Feed me
Give me some
I’m needy
I’m greedy
Feed me
Give me some

I keep it coming
I keep it coming
I’m running all the way
And while I’m running
And while I’m running
I’m gonna leave you far away

Perry Melius:
Who you down like
Who do you sound like
You sound like T
How he used to be
Keep on talking
Watch what he’s making
You’re in the bars
With your stars
You go far
You’re up to par
You're in this next (?)
Your turn to flex

Costanza:
I’m needy
I’m greedy
Feed me
Give me some
I’m needy
I’m greedy
Feed me
Give me some

I keep it coming

Car Crash

Costanza & Tricky:
You leave me hungry
Wanting more
Am I thirsty
I wasn’t sure
See me driving
Through the rain
Why am I driving
I can’t explain
In my car to where you are
I won’t make it
I can’t make it
In my car to where you are
I won’t make it
I can’t make it

I am sliding
I lose my breaks
The lights are blinding
The earth quakes
Now I’m lying
Will I die
Will they find me
Will they try

In my car to where you are
I won’t make it
I can’t make it
In my car to where you are
I won’t make it
I can’t make it

Doesn’t matter about the time we make
Doesn’t matter it doesn’t shatter
If time we take
You know they’re lost
While I’m dragging the cross
(If you sing along…)
And where you cross (If I scream…)

While they’re washing they sins
(And we sing along…)
She sings, I do evil things
I need I strive (and we sing along…)
I bleed alive
(And we sing along… and we sing along…)

Tricky & Costanza Francavilla :
Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you

Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe

Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe

Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

How High

Costanza & Tricky:
If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don’t fly
Don’t swim don’t grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran
I try to show you
But I don’t know you
I try to know you
But I can’t grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

Please you will move quick
You’re making me real sick
No go no chnace
I don’t slow I don’t dance

I try to show you
But I don’t know you
I try to know you
But I can’t grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don’t fly
Don’t swim don’t grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran
(2x)

I try to show you
But I don’t know you
I try to know you
But I can’t grow you

*** Thanx a lot to Kitty ( Tricky's Moon Palace ) for this one ***

What is wrong

Constanza Francavilla :

What is wrong with us
All we do is fight
Get out of my view
I’m not feeling right
I’m not feeling good
I don’t think I should
Something’s standing in your view
I’m standing next to you

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

What is good for you
Doesn’t mean too much
What you think is true
I can’t feel or touch

I can’t feel or touch
I don’t feel that much
What is wrong with you
You’re standing in my view

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

What is wrong with you
All you do is fight
Get out of my view
I’m not feeling right

I’m not feeling good
I don’t think I should
Something’s standing in your view
I’m standing next to you

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me
(repeated)

Hollow

Costanza & Tricky:
Doesn’t matter about the time we take
Doesn’t matter about the lies we make
Go slow
I think of how you’re making me mad
I think of all the love we had
Feel so

Always question never quenching your thirst
Let me die when I lie to you first
I follow

When I’m with you it’s from within
I know you can see through my skin
I’m hollow

I need you to feed me once more
I need you like I needed before
I’ll grow

I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying
I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying

Tricky:
I said you needed like I needed before
Said you need me that you meet at five
You don’t show I don’t I’’m alive
My pulse slow
My pulse slow

Costanza & Tricky:
I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying
I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying

Liz Constantine (opera vocals in the background) & Constanza & Tricky:
I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying
I’m floating I’m flying I’m dying
(repeated)

*** Thanx a lot to Nyushi for this one ***

Moody

Tricky:
It’s my world
It’s my world
Costanza & Tricky:
Running
Breathing
Deceiving
Take and make
What you breath in
Know me
Show me
Hardly
No you can’t A&R me

Costanza:
I pretend I don’t exist
I close my eyes and wish
Taste like liquorice
& sound so devilish
Slide across the floor
Move a little more
Take a sip & pour
I’ve heard it all before

Costanza & Tricky:
It’s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim
(2x)

Costanza:
They say where have you been
what you're leaving in
clean craw far
I could even more
(I'm feeling)
I should have to seesaw
(kill)
I offer a 3 4
(I crawl across the floor)
so you live more
(In the day mix)
so you live more
(They play cheap tricks)

I pretend I don’t exist
I close my eyes and wish
My thoughts are devilish
My thoughts are just a wish

Tricky:
It’s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

Costanza & Tricky:
It’s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

Tricky:
It’s funny how you feel
The eyes in your head
The brain and spine
Releases fluid when you’re dead
Then you start to shed
Turning to something else instead
Something else was said
Someone else’s sunset was red

Costanza & Tricky:
It’s my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim
(repeated)

Wait for God

Tricky:
If I came into your life
If I come to my life
The life was strange
We remain the same
Set the pain, share the strain
252 stuck in the game
Girls that I smack, it’s for my babe
Stuck in my life, stuck in my wife
Stuck in the scratch, she says she’s dead
Waiting for God is very hard

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it’s very hard
(I wait for God)
I am the lamb I don’t understand
(Don't understand)
I drink your blood and I’m still thirsty
I wait for God and it’s very hard

Costanza:
I’m stuck in the church
Stuck in the verse
Stuck in the words
Stuck in my nerves
Stuck in the wrong
Stuck all along
Stuck in the bars
Stuck in the cars
Stuck in the time
Stuck in this line

I’m doing fine
I’m doing mine
I’m reading signs
We’re killing time
I’m stuck in the time
Stuck in this line

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it’s very hard
(I wait for God)
I am the lamb I don’t understand
(Don't understand)
I drink your blood and I’m still thirsty
(still... thirsty)
I wait for God and it’s very hard

Tricky:
I wait for God I wait for Christ
I wait for wife
I wait for life
Tomorrow come
We feel the sun
Tomorrow come
We feel as one
The only God
The only son
Holy from the only one

Costanza:
We’re on our own now we’re fully grown
I’m all alone when I roam

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it’s very hard
(I wait for God)
I am the lamb I don’t understand
(Don't understand)
I drink your blood and I’m still thirsty
(Still...)
I wait for God and it’s very hard
(repeated)

Tricky:
Damn bam
Read the lines
Bleed succeed
We design
I couldn't care less
It's a killing time
We're killing mine
you're feeling fine
Running (?) every time and every sign
every line and every crime
No snack, it bring you curse
No sweat, you like your worse
strange fruit ...
changing bombs into ear gums
Running (?) every time and every sign
Every line and every crime
Tricky & Costanza:

Tricky & Constanza :
Ah
We move like cagey tigers
Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we talk
The way we walk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

God's gonna cut you down

( Johnny Cash Cover )

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
If you can run on for a long time
Sooner or later God will cut you down
Oh sooner or later God will cut you down, down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God will cut you down
Sooner or later God will cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee

He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

You can throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

50 bullets fired in Queens

Take me to New York
I’m away from Rome
Oh what a nice the neighbourhood
Where the cops like to shoot
On the streets in queens
Fifty bullets and you’re safe
You are a hero, you’re so brave
You are a hero, you’re so brave

Take me to New York
Oh what a nice the neighbourhood
Where the cops like to shoot
On the streets in queens
Fifty bullets and you’re safe
You are a hero, you’re a slave
You are a hero, you’re a slave
You are a hero, you’re a slave

Fifty bullets and you’re safe
You are a hero, you’re so brave
Fifty bullets and you’re safe
You are a hero, you’re so brave

Burqa

I feel in the air
Like dust in the air
My hurt plea is just a little game
The city is on fire
The city is on fire

I feel in the air
Like dust in the air
My hurt plea is just a little game
Who’s the real criminal
Who’s the real criminal

Everyone has a fault
Violence is a fault
Ignorance is fault
The West has a fault

Please stop the bomb
Stop the blood
I don’t want to feel guilty
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road

Please stop the bomb
Stop the blood
I don’t want to feel guilty
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road

I feel in the air
Like dust in the air
My hurt plea is just a little game
The city is on fire
The city is on fire

Please stop the bomb
Stop the blood
I don’t want to feel guilty
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road

Please stop the bomb
Stop the blood
I don’t want to feel guilty
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road

Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road
Kids are crying down the road

In the sun

In the mud in the sun I feel
Like I’m trapped in the ice
Wanna get rid of my mind
I’m really tired
But I can’t sleep
Can’t even breath
I’m almost bleeding
I’m licking
In the dark my weepings
In the mud in the sun I’m almost sinking

In the sun I feel
Like I’m trapped in the ice
Like a sweat in a bad dream
In a bad memory

In the sun I feel
Like I’m trapped in the ice
Like a sweat in a bad dream
In a bad memory…

Where have you been

Where have you been
Where have we

I tuoi occhi sono pieni di sale

( Rino Gaetano Cover )

I tuoi occhi sono pieni di sale
I tuoi occhi sono pieni di sale
Di quel sale mattutino che tu prendi in riva al mare
Di quel sale che a pensarci ti viene voglia di guardare

Le tue labbra sono piene di sale
Le tue labbra sono piene di sale
Di quel sale mattutino che tu prendi in riva al mare
Di quel sale che a pensarci ti vien voglia di baciare

Il tuo corpo e pieno di sale
Il tuo corpo e pieno di sale
Di quel sale mattutino che tu prendi in riva al mare
Di quel sale che a pensarci ti vien voglia di sognare

La tua mente è piena di sale
La tua mente è piena di sale
Di quel sale mattutino che tu prendi in riva al mare
Di quel sale che a pensarci ti vien voglia di pensare

Amo il sale della terra
Amo il sale della vita
Amo il sale dell'amore
Amo il sale che c'è in te

Amo il sale della terra
Amo il sale della vita
Amo il sale dell'amore
Amo il sale che c'è in te
Amo il sale che c'è in te

Back into my mother's womb

I’m back into my mother’s womb
Oh it’s so warm
It’s brighter then the street
Where my friend was killed
For a pocket full of dreams

I’m back into my mother’s womb
Oh it’s so warm
It’s brighter then the room
Of when I’m all alone with you
Alone with you

I’m back into my mother’s womb
Oh it’s so warm
It’s brighter then the street
Where my friend was killed
For a pocket full of dreams
Oh it’s so warm

Promises

( Fugazi cover )

Words
Words and expressions
All these confessions
Of where we stand

How I see you
And you see me
Dedications of symmetry
Together we will be forever

Promises are shit
We speak the way we breathe
Present air will have to do
Rearrange and see it through

Stupid fucking words
They tangle us in our desires
Free me from this give and take
Free me from this great debate

You will do what you do
I will do what I do
We will do what we do
Rearrange and see it through

Go where you think you want to go
Do everything you were sent here for
Fire at will if you hear that call
Touch your hand to the wall at night
Promises, words
Promises, words
Promises, words

You will do what you do
And I will do what I do
We will do what we do
Rearrange and see it through

Go where you think you want to go
Do everything you were sent here for
Fire at will if you hear that call
Touch your hand to the wall at night
Promises, words
Promises and words
Promises, words
Promises, words

Promises are shit
We speak the way we breathe
Present air will have to do
Rearrange and see it through

Stupid fucking words
They tangle us in our desires
Free me from this give and take
Free me from this great debate

Medicine

Where is my medicine
I thought I could ask you for this
I love to swallow it
Makes me forget of everything

Where is my medicine
I thought I could ask you for this
I need to swallow it
Makes me forgive of everything

Cause butterflies don’t grow old
And raindogs are not alone
Raindogs are not alone
Raindogs are not alone

Cause butterflies don’t grow old
And raindogs are not alone…

Silence

I thought you were so beautiful
But I was so wrong and too pure
I thought you were so beautiful
But I was so wrong and too pure

But I know, I know
We’d better be in silence, silence
I know, I know
We’d better be in silence, silence

I must fall asleep
Fall asleep in your arms
I just wanna dream till the end of sin
I just wanna dream till the end of sin
I must fall asleep
Fall in silence
Silence
Silence
Fall in silence

I thought you were so beautiful
But I was so wrong and too pure

But I know, I know
We’d better be in silence, silence
I must fall asleep
Fall asleep in your arms
I just wanna dream till the end of sin
I just wanna dream till the end of sin
I must fall asleep
Fall in silence
Silence

Coming home

( Bonus track )

I’m coming home to you
While you sleep my angels

All the girls get together and rule

Fuck me
I'm lucky and enough selfish
And use just anything you can take
Eat and chew till you feel sick
I'm sorry I forgot my mistake

No space for emotional face
No time to look for my grace
Tonight I leave you all the best
Tomorrow I give you the rest

Take me now if you can
Take me now dare me
Take me now if you can
Dare me my man

All the girls get together and rule
All the girls get together and rule
All the girls get together and rule

Revolution has come
Revolution is you
Revolution is me
Get together and scream

All the girls get together and rule
All the girls get together and rule
All the girls get together and rule

Revolution has come
Revolution is you
Revolution is me
Get together get together
All the girls get together and rule

You can fuck me
You can fuck me
You can cut me
But you can't rule me
Revolution is you
Get together in peace

Baby Soldier

He hides daddy's gun
He put it in the lunch-box
He feels such a real man now
And he ran

It's time
To go to have some fun
And hit another one
I saw it on tv
The soldiers with their gun

It seems to be so fun
While they run
While they run

The beauty and the beast
And the child under the priest
While Superman is fighting for the Democracy

They launch another rocket East
They launch another rocket East

But it's time
To go to have some fun
I saw it on tv
The soldiers with their gun
It seems to be so fun
While they run
While they run

Desire

( Tricky's Back to mine )

Under the stars
I feel again free
I should have lost my lies
And let my secret to the sea
Oh no I wish I fly
Under the stars
I should have killed my pride
And don't be afraid of my desire

Why don't you free my desire
I wanna get higher
And fly away with you
Why don't you free my desire
I wanna get higher
And let my dream come true
Under the stars

Looking for a protestation

I don't ask you a question
I don't wanna your suggestion
It's willing
I'm revealing
Leaving it without confession

What's my destination
I'm looking for a protestation
It's a feeling
I'm leaving
Living it without obsession

You ain't gonna make me swallow
The water is too much shallow
Play the cello
Make me yellow
I'm gonna make you mellow

What's my destination
I'm looking for a protestation
It's a feeling
I'm leaving
Living it without obsession

Leaving it without confession
Living it without obsession

Come
Out of the sun
Into my arms
Come to me
I wanna be your God
Out of the sun
Into my eyes
'Cause in me I've already you

( Tricky's Blowback Double CD limited Edition )

Floating around with my head in my head
Looking around if there's way to escape
But I really don't care if this room is too dark
Cause my fantasy's big
I can see all the stars
