I lived my life on a razor blade
Never found escape in my empty shade
Till came one day when the c.i.a
Said we need you bad down in leningrad
I took my life of a legal alien
A "bolivian dancer" that's what i was
And I knew I found my aim
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
I met freulein in a french caf?
Just a cigarette and "les jeux sont faits"
Till came one night when she was in sight
Through the bathroom door saw her seek for more
I took my colt and I pointed at her eyes
A sentimental cancer that's what it was
And I knew I lost my prize
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
She looked at me god she was so sweet
She knelt to my feet said she had to cheat
Cause she lived her life on the sharpest knife
And the k.g.b never let her breathe
I took her hand we decided to go far
The naivest "dancer" that's what I was
And two men approached the car
Just telephone mama
Just living on a poison pill
Just telephone mama
A robot dressed to kill
Telephone mama
That's all I kept in mind
Just telephone mama
The rest is left behind
Paul Mazzolini, known as Gazebo, was born in Beirut on February 18, 1960. His childhood was marked by a nomadic existence, traveling between different cultures and languages, which deeply influenced his artistic vision. After living in various countries, he returned to Italy in 1974 to complete his studies. He then spent two years in London, where he began forming bands and defining his musical path. Returning to Rome in 1981, he met Paolo Micioni, a former DJ looking for new talents. Together they embarked on the adventure of independent production. Their first song, "Masterpiece", quickly became popular in discos and, thanks to Baby Records, reached dance charts worldwide. In 1983, with the single "I Like Chopin", Gazebo achieved international success, topping the charts in numerous countries including Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Turkey, Mexico and Brazil. The song sold over eight million copies between 1983 and 1984. Success followed with "Lunatic", consolidating his album "Gazebo" as a true bestseller, awarded the Vela D'oro and the title of Top European Chart Act 1983 by the English magazine Music Week, surpassing artists like The Police and Culture Club. In 1984, Gazebo released his second album "Telephone Mama", which was warmly received despite its stylistic diversity. However, military service temporarily interrupted his musical career. In 1986, after completing his service, "Univision" was released, marking a shift towards pop. The following year, Gazebo published "The Rainbow Tales", co-produced with Denis Haines, former keyboardist of Gary Numan's Tubeway Army. In 1989, the album "Sweet Life" included his version of "Dolce Vita", a song co-written by Gazebo and brought to success by Ryan Paris in 1983. In 1992, Paul released "Scenes from the News Broadcast", an LP where he played, wrote, arranged and produced all the tracks. The 1990s were dedicated to music production and the creation of Softworks, a company owning his catalog. In 1994, "Portrait", a collection of his hits, was released, followed in 1997 by "Viewpoint", a more introspective album. In 2000, the box set "Portrait of Gazebo" was published.
