Als winnaar van een popkwis krijgt Paolo Nutini in 2003 de kans wat nummers te spelen op een podium. Als 17-jarige vertrekt hij uit Schotland naar Londen om daar verschillende optredens e verzorgen. Al vrij snel kwam hij in de voorprogramma’s van Amy Winehouse en KT Tunstall en in 2006 zelfs de Rolling Stones. Dat jaar verschijnt ook zijn debuutalbum, These Streets, waarmee Nutini in de top 3 van de albumlijst komt. Van het album komt de single Last Request op de vijfde plaats van de Britse singlelijst.
Living for the city
But the flames couldn’t go much higher
We find gods and religions to
To paint us with salvation
But no one
No, nobody
Can give you the power
To rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear
And into freedom
Oh, that’s life
Left dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion
Spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define
Our cold society
From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear
And into freedom
You just got to hold on
You just got to hold on
To those who can hear me, I say: do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Let us use that power. Let us all unite.
And we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
And over fear
And into freedom, into freedom
From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
And over fear
And into freedom, freedom, oh
From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
And over fear
Into freedom, freedom
Freedom
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Songtekst van Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky
We are proud individualsLiving for the city
But the flames couldn’t go much higher
We find gods and religions to
To paint us with salvation
But no one
No, nobody
Can give you the power
To rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear
And into freedom
Oh, that’s life
Left dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion
Spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define
Our cold society
From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
Over fear
And into freedom
You just got to hold on
You just got to hold on

From which we’ll rise over love
And over hate
Through this iron sky
That’s fast becoming our minds
