Mario Bava was an Italian director, screenwriter and cinematographer remembered as one of the greatest names from the “golden age” of Italian horror films.
His work has proved very influential: Bava directed what is called the first Italian ‘giallo’ film, The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963), and his 1965 sci-fi horror Planet of the Vampires was a probable influence on Alien(1979). Although comic books had served as the basis for countless serials and children’s films in Hollywood, Bava’s Diabolik (1968) brought an adult perspective to the genre.
Why - why - why? Love love love love love Insanity laughs under pressure we’re breaking Can’t we give ourselves one more chance? Why can’t we give love that one more chance? Why can’t we give love give love give love give love? give love give love give love give love give love ‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go someplace to dance, I know that theres a chance You wont be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like I love you
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies You heard the night before And though its just a line to you, for me its true It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say To make the meaning come through But then I think Ill wait until the evening gets late And Im alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red And oh the nights so blue And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like I love you (I love you, I love you,…)
