“3 Legs Chair” , the second album of the band THE STEEL BONES, has just been released on all streaming platforms!
Also available as a physical version on our Bandcamp channel.
It collects 10 unreleased tracks written between 2023 and 2024. Unlike the first album, we tried to bring out the roots of our music, aiming to emphasize our southern, blues, and country soul much more.
The sound pushes a lot on rough arrangements while remaining direct and catchy, we let our influences take over, mixing the hardest rock with very direct harmonies. The change of line-up was fundamental. The entry of Mirco Agostini on bass gave a positive breath of fresh air to the band. His more than thirty years of experience has strengthened our rhythm section, and has also given an important contribution in the arrangement , creating the right groove with Simone Gagliardi.
Irony played a fundamental role. The lyrics tell about relationships, social themes, addictions, and why not, slightly mystical reflections that deal with the passing of time. Before entering the studio each song already had a well-defined identity, it had already been played several times in some cases even in live performances, precisely to be able to capture its essence.
The search for a vintage style was also fundamental, which led to enriching the album by introducing parts of strings, pianos and “old style” Hammond with the fundamental contribution of Andrea Gagliardi who can now be considered an effective member of the band.

Lyrics
Luck on my Side
Woke up this morning on wrong side of bed.
New York morning is like a slap right up on my face
Step by Step along the Riverside Drive
Million faces through the fog that you could cut with a knife
I walk alone with all my 1000 regrets.
I'm wise enough to know is good as it gets
I’m trying I’m trying.
I’m trying to find the meaning of life
I’m trying I’m trying.
I’m trying to push the luck on my side.
Late in the night on the road back to home
Another day it is over questioning about what I have done.
Open the door no one is laughing at me.
An empty room that seems the prison where I could die alone.
I drink alone with all my 1000 regrets
Forget about life ain’t good as it gets
I’m trying I’m trying
I’m trying to find a the meaning of life
I’m trying I’m trying
I’m trying to push the luck on my side
New York morning is like a slap right up on my face
Step by Step along the Riverside Drive
Million faces through the fog that you could cut with a knife
I walk alone with all my 1000 regrets.
I'm wise enough to know is good as it gets
I’m trying I’m trying.
I’m trying to find the meaning of life
I’m trying I’m trying.
I’m trying to push the luck on my side.
Late in the night on the road back to home
Another day it is over questioning about what I have done.
Open the door no one is laughing at me.
An empty room that seems the prison where I could die alone.
I drink alone with all my 1000 regrets
Forget about life ain’t good as it gets
I’m trying I’m trying
I’m trying to find a the meaning of life
I’m trying I’m trying
I’m trying to push the luck on my side
From the core
If you think my life is simple,
try to walk here in my shoes.
If you think that I’m so rude,
Stop and hear how I sing the blues.
There is nothing to lose, you can use and abuse.
I go I try I dig through your lies.
To find an inch of my pride.
I shot the sore with a blink of an eye.
My love grows from the core,
and my love grows from the core.
Story is written of my face
you don’t need to read between the lines.
If you eat rage from your plate,
think my glass was full of hate.
Nothing more to pretend it’s time for you to amend.
I go I try I dig through your lies.
To find an inch of my pride.
I shot the sore with a blink of an eye.
My love grows from the core,
and my love grows from the core.
try to walk here in my shoes.
If you think that I’m so rude,
Stop and hear how I sing the blues.
There is nothing to lose, you can use and abuse.
I go I try I dig through your lies.
To find an inch of my pride.
I shot the sore with a blink of an eye.
My love grows from the core,
and my love grows from the core.
Story is written of my face
you don’t need to read between the lines.
If you eat rage from your plate,
think my glass was full of hate.
Nothing more to pretend it’s time for you to amend.
I go I try I dig through your lies.
To find an inch of my pride.
I shot the sore with a blink of an eye.
My love grows from the core,
and my love grows from the core.
3 Legs Chair
LIGHTING CANDLE IN MY ROOM
SET THE FUTURE IN A SPOON.
I DROVE ALL NIGHT TO GET OUT THIS TOWN.
SEARCHING ROAD FOR PROMISED LAND.
IN MY MOUTH JUST DIRTY SAND
SCREAMING THROUGH THE SHADOWS DOWN THE TREES
OOOH CHILD THERE’S NO EASY WAY OUT.
AT THE END OF EVERY BOTTLE, I FIND THERE IS NO PARADISE.
OH, CHILD THERE IS NO EASY WAY OUT.
SITTING ON THIS 3 LEGS CHAIR
I TALK TO GOD WITH DEVIL’S VOICE (X 2)
MILKY WAY JUST LIKE A SCAR.
HYDE’S MY ANGER IN A JAR
CANNOT FEEL THOSE THINGS I HOLD INSIDE.
JUST ANOTHER WINNING HAND
COULD HELP ME TO FILL THE BAG.
I COULD DESCRIBE THE WHOLE CARDS IN YOUR HANDS.
IN MY HEART, DEVIL’S GOT NEW DISGUISE.
DOWN THE RIVER OF DESIRES, I FIND THERE IS NO PARADISE.
YOUR VOICE CANNOT EASE ALL THIS NOISE.
SITTING ON THIS 3 LEGS CHAIR

Sunset Song
Watching lights reflecting on the ceiling
like a whisper wind comes inside
like a blast in my head this hangover
cannot quite this war in mind
turn the dime again with no one regret.
raise up again, but still on my knees.
digging’ through the sand, another killing hand.
fortune can’t hide, who I really am
another step but this road has no meaning.
like a refugee with no regrets
down my feet wet grass becomes warmer
red sunlight starts to fade again.
reach out helper hand burning on the sand
screaming your name to defeat the pain
begging for last chance to be that candy man
fail after fail my pride like a veil
turn the dime again with no one regret.
screaming your name to defeat the pain
standing on my knees tryin’ to rise again
fortune can’t hide, who I really am
reach out helper hand burning on the sand
screaming your name just to defeat the pain
standing on my knees tryin’ to rise again
fail after fail this sunset my jail.
like a whisper wind comes inside
like a blast in my head this hangover
cannot quite this war in mind
turn the dime again with no one regret.
raise up again, but still on my knees.
digging’ through the sand, another killing hand.
fortune can’t hide, who I really am
another step but this road has no meaning.
like a refugee with no regrets
down my feet wet grass becomes warmer
red sunlight starts to fade again.
reach out helper hand burning on the sand
screaming your name to defeat the pain
begging for last chance to be that candy man
fail after fail my pride like a veil
turn the dime again with no one regret.
screaming your name to defeat the pain
standing on my knees tryin’ to rise again
fortune can’t hide, who I really am
reach out helper hand burning on the sand
screaming your name just to defeat the pain
standing on my knees tryin’ to rise again
fail after fail this sunset my jail.
Queen of Rock n’ Roll
TURNING ON THE LEFT SHAKING TO THE RIGHT
SALT INTO MY WOUNDS
FLASHLIGHT IN MY EYES.
BREAKING ALL THE RULES SPIT INTO MY EARS.
SHE CAN STEAL MY AIR

SHE CAN BE THE BEST MELODY.
SHE CAN BURST LIKE A TRAIN RIGHT THROUGH MY DOOR.

SHE SOFT ME UP WITH HER LIES
HER NAILS ON MY SKIN
TURN ME BACK TO FIFTEEN.
ENCHANTS ME WITH HER VOICE
THROW ME BACK WITH NO CHOICE.
SLAVE TO THE WAY SHE MOVES,
DECEMBER TURNS TO JUNE.
BURIED IN HER CHARM FIND THE WELL OF MY FUN.
SHE CAN BE THE WORST TRAGEDY.
SHE CAN BURST LIKE A TRAIN RIGHT THROUGH MY DOOR.
THEN SHE LEAVES ME LYING NAKED ON THE FLOOR.
SHE’S THE QUEEN OF THE ROCK N’ ROLL

Someone who cares
Among the bar head like a stone
Thoughts are veiled by the bourbon warmth.
Fingers dancing behind opaque glass.
Scars of the day they drown so fast.
Who would care when you have a heart of stone?
Who would care when you’re bad to the bone?
No one who cares x2
Another day like every day
Sleeps away like yesterday’s grey.
Behind me, no more pain
No time left to start new trail.
Who would care when you have a heart of stone?
Who would care when you’re bad to the bone?
Where to find a trace of romance,
Or just find behind the door Someone who cares,
Someone who cares.
Thoughts are veiled by the bourbon warmth.
Fingers dancing behind opaque glass.
Scars of the day they drown so fast.
Who would care when you have a heart of stone?
Who would care when you’re bad to the bone?
No one who cares x2
Another day like every day
Sleeps away like yesterday’s grey.
Behind me, no more pain
No time left to start new trail.
Who would care when you have a heart of stone?
Who would care when you’re bad to the bone?
Where to find a trace of romance,
Or just find behind the door Someone who cares,
Someone who cares.
Down on my wheels
IT’S TO LATE
SEEMS THAT TIME HAD RUN TOO FAST
EVEN RAIN
AIN’T CLEAN DIRT FROM THE PAST
TAKE MY EVERYTHING
WHAT MEAN THINGS I CAN GIVE
WHEN LOVE FILLS JUST A BOTTLE OF BEER
I TRIED SO HARD
YOUR COLD TEARING ME APART
EYE TO EYE BUT YOU SEEM JUST TO BE BLIND
LOSING EVERYTHING
MAKES ME RICH MORE THAN I COULD
WHEN A DROP OF RAIN IS BIGGER THAN SEA
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS.
THAT’S THE PLACE WHERE IT SHOULD BE
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS
DRY YOUR EYES FROM ALL FAKE TEARS
DOWN ON MY WHEELS
DON’T TRY TO MAKE BELIEVE
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS
BURNING DOWN
BUT STILL LIVING THROUGH COLD ICE
ON MY OWN
WHEN I NEED TO PLEASE DESIRES
YOU ACT AS LITTLE CHILD
IGNORING WHAT IS REAL
OUR LIFE BECAME A CARPET OF TEARS
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS……
SEEMS THAT TIME HAD RUN TOO FAST
EVEN RAIN
AIN’T CLEAN DIRT FROM THE PAST
TAKE MY EVERYTHING
WHAT MEAN THINGS I CAN GIVE
WHEN LOVE FILLS JUST A BOTTLE OF BEER
I TRIED SO HARD
YOUR COLD TEARING ME APART
EYE TO EYE BUT YOU SEEM JUST TO BE BLIND
LOSING EVERYTHING
MAKES ME RICH MORE THAN I COULD
WHEN A DROP OF RAIN IS BIGGER THAN SEA
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS.
THAT’S THE PLACE WHERE IT SHOULD BE
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS
DRY YOUR EYES FROM ALL FAKE TEARS
DOWN ON MY WHEELS
DON’T TRY TO MAKE BELIEVE
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS
BURNING DOWN
BUT STILL LIVING THROUGH COLD ICE
ON MY OWN
WHEN I NEED TO PLEASE DESIRES
YOU ACT AS LITTLE CHILD
IGNORING WHAT IS REAL
OUR LIFE BECAME A CARPET OF TEARS
YOUR LOVE IS DOWN ON MY WHEELS……
Dirty finger
In the back sit of my car
Sending French kiss to the stars.
Knocking right to you back door.
Girl I’m ready to explore.
You got taste of a cake.
I can’t wait to make you shake.
Your’re a snake right on my neck
Now it’s time no turning back…
Dirty fingers, strange surprise
What a feeling finds a river through your legs
Dirty honey, I can’t taste.
I like strong flavors, but I could not do it more.
Ohh girl …
You don’t want to stop your dance.
Dear I think we lost the chance.
Your arms pushing me inside.
Baby I would stop for a while.
Honey I’m not a vampire.
What I like is just good wine.
You still screaming in my ear.
I feel wet not of you tears….
Dirty fingers, strange surprise
What a feeling finds a river through your legs
Dirty honey, I can’t taste.
I like strong flavors, but I could not do it more.
Ohh girl …
Sending French kiss to the stars.
Knocking right to you back door.
Girl I’m ready to explore.
You got taste of a cake.
I can’t wait to make you shake.
Your’re a snake right on my neck
Now it’s time no turning back…
Dirty fingers, strange surprise
What a feeling finds a river through your legs
Dirty honey, I can’t taste.
I like strong flavors, but I could not do it more.
Ohh girl …
You don’t want to stop your dance.
Dear I think we lost the chance.
Your arms pushing me inside.
Baby I would stop for a while.
Honey I’m not a vampire.

You still screaming in my ear.
I feel wet not of you tears….
Dirty fingers, strange surprise
What a feeling finds a river through your legs
Dirty honey, I can’t taste.
I like strong flavors, but I could not do it more.
Ohh girl …
Where the Eagles go to Rest
feel the earth down on my feet
another step makes this heart to beat.
shaking hands with the devil to legalize all sins.
we’ve been grown through the years of gold.
trusting men that have sold our souls.
when it’s raining, now.
we can’t find shelter from the cold.
let’s hide the world behind a fairy dress.
let’s make love flying to the moon and back.
let’s reach the heights where eagles go to rest.
we hold the keys, but we lock the gates.
we write our fates on twisted slates.
we whole talk ‘bout love, while swimming in the hate
chasing dreams that never last
we built our castle in the sand.
living in the past, never learnt what is right or wrong.
let’s hide the world behind a fairy dress.
let’s make love flying to the moon and back.
let’s reach the heights where eagles go to rest.
let’s hide the world behind a fairy dress.
