LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIKE A STONE/AUDIOSLAVE

On a cold wet
Afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway
I confess I was lost in the pages
Of a book
Full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on my death bed
I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan
To anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place
I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

And on I read
Till the day was gone
And i sat in regret
For all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

ARTE: BANKSY VS BRISTOL

È il più originale e talentuoso artista dei nostri tempi. Un genio. Sto parlando di Banksy, il writer inglese dall'identità anonima. Di seguito pubblico qualche passo dall'intervista che ha rilasciato alla rivista americana di cultura pop Swindle:

Non m'interessa uscire allo scoperto. Credo ci siano già abbastanza stronzi ostinati che vogliono importi le loro brutte facce
(...)
Cerco solo di rendere belle le immagini; non cerco di rendermi bello. Non mi sento alla moda
(...)
A proposito di 3D dei Massive Attack (ex-writer): 3D ha smesso di fare graffiti ed ha formato i Massive Attack, il che è stato un bene per lui, ma una grossa perdita per la città (Bristol)
(...)
I miei graffiti preferiti sono fatti da gente che non è sui libri. Sono davvero interessato all'arte amatoriale, alle persone che sbucano dal nulla con un pennarello, scrivono qualcosa di divertente per una notte, e poi spariscono
(...)
Fare qualcosa di commerciale non ti trasforma necessariamente in una merda
(...)
A proposito dell'arte contemporanea: è diventata il mezzo più veloce per fare soldi anche senza talento
(...)
A proposito della Barriera di Separazione Israeliana: l'hanno costruita con terra e piante da fiore dal lato israeliano, così quasi non te ne accorgi. Sul lato palestinese, invece, è solo un fottuto, enorme ammasso di cemento
(...)
Fondamentalmente, voglio solo fare il pezzo giusto, al momento giusto, al posto giusto.

QUEEN'S ROAD, BRISTOL BS8 1RL

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HEAVY CROSS/GOSSIP

It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own
A heavy cross, to carry along
The lights are on, but everyone's gone
And it's cruel

It's a funny way, to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright, but never complete
Without joy

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it
On the rainy nights, even the coldest days
you're moments ago, but seconds away
The principal of nature, it's true but, it's a cruel world

We can play it safe, or play it cool
Follow the leader, or make up all the rules
Whatever you want, the choice is yours
So choose

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it
It takes two, and it's up to me and you, to prove it

I just knew, it's already been done, undo it
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it

I trust you, if it's already been done, undo it
It takes two, it's up to me and you, to prove it

I trust you

ALBUM: MUSIC FOR MEN (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I MIGHT BE WRONG/RADIOHEAD

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn
I saw a light coming home

I used to think
I used to think
There is no future left at all
I used to think

Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and
Never look back
Never look back

What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?

Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

ALBUM: AMNESIAC (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON T.V./A-HA

Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

I Reached inside myself
And found nothing there
To ease the pressure off
My ever worried mind
All my powers waste away
I fear the crazed and lonely looks
The mirror's sending me
These Days

Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

Please don't ask me to defend
The shamefull lowlands
Of the way I'm drifting
Gloomily through time
(Touch me)
I reached inside myself today
(Give all your love)
Thinking there's got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

Touch me
How can it be?
Believe me
The sun always shines on TV
Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

Hold me
Close to your heart
Touch me
And give all your love to me
To me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LAST SHAPES OF NEVER/MÚM

Swimming goes my shadow
In the dark time of the morning
The last shapes of never
So tall is the price
The last shapes of someone
Who swims in the dark dim light

Swimming goes my double
My insides in the morning
The last shapes of never
So tall is the price
The last shapes of someone
Who swims in the dark dim light

CINEMA: ALICE NEL PAESE DI TIM BURTON

Finalmente ci siamo: dopo mesi di indiscrezioni, è disponibile in rete il primo trailer ufficiale della versione cinematografica 3D di Alice Nel Paese Delle Meraviglie di Tim Burton, ovvero la sublimazione del cinema dark romantico del regista californiano. E nella parte del Cappellaio Matto, c'era da scommeterci, c'è Johnny Depp. Ora non ci resta che aspettare il 5 Marzo 2010...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SUNDAY MORNING/BECK'S RECORD CLUB

Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LONTANO DAL TUO SOLE/NEFFA

Sono pronto per rialzarmi ancora
È il momento che aspettava e ora
Nonostante questo cielo sembri chiuso su di me
Nessuno mi vede
Nessuno mi sente
Ma non per questo io non rido più
Io son qui in un mondo che ormai
Gira intorno a vuoto
Lontano dal tuo sole
Piove, ma io qualche cosa farò
Per sentire ancora
Tutto il calore che ora non ho
E avere un po’ di pace
Che ora non ho
E luce nei miei occhi
Che ora non ho
Un direzione giusta
Che ora non ho
Che ora non ho

Sulla strada
Troppe stelle spente
La tua mano ora servirebbe
Tutta la gente alza il dito
E poi lo punta su di me
Nessuno mi crede, davvero innocente
Ma non per questo io non vivo più
Io sono qui in un mondo che ormai
Gira intorno a vuoto
Lontano dal tuo sole
Piove mai io qualche cosa farò
per sentire ancora
Tutto il calore che ancora non ho
E avere un po’ di pace
Che ora non ho
E luce nei miei occhi
Che ora non ho
Un direzione giusta
Che ora non ho
E avere un po’ di pace
Che ora non ho
E luce nei miei occhi
Che ora non ho
Una direzione giusta
Che ora non ho

ALBUM: SOGNANDO CONTROMANO (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DOMINO/GENESIS

PART 1: IN THE GLOW OF THE NIGHT

The grey of evening fills the room
There's no need to look outside
To see or feel the rain
Then I reach across to touch her
But I know that she's not there
Rain keeps running down the window pane
Time is running out for me

Can't you see what you are doing to me?
Can't you see what you have done?
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night
A hundred crazy voices call my name
As I try to pass them by
I almost can believe that she is here
Here in the glow of the night

Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life

Lonely people, empty rooms
Pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again?

Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night
Only foreign city sirens can cut through
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming
That she is here with me?
Here in the glow of the night

Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?
Do you see we shall never be together again?
All of my life

Lonely people, empty rooms
Pointless violence, silent tombs
Could it be that we shall be together again?
Could it be that we shall be together again?

In silence and darkness
We held each other near that night
We prayed it would last forever


PART 2: THE LAST DOMINO

Blood on the windows
Millions of ordinary people are there
They gaze at the scenery
They act as if it is perfectly clear
Take a look at the mountains
Take a look at the beautiful river of blood

The liquid surrounds me
I fight to rise from this river of hell
I stare round about me
Children are swimming and playing with boats
Their features are changing
Their bodies dissolve and I am alone

Now see what you've gone and done
Now see what you've gone and done

Well now you never did see such a terrible thing
As was seen last night on TV
Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again
Such a terrible thing to see
But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
You've got to go domino

Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine
I know just what I gotta do
Play the game of happiness and never let on
That it only lives on in a song
Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line
You've got to go domino

Do you know what you have done?
Do you know what you've begun?

In silence and darkness
Hold each other near tonight
For will it last forever?
Will it last forever

There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line
You've got to go domino

Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done
Do you see what you've begun?
Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do
Do you see, do you see what you have done?

ALBUM: INVISIBLE TOUCH (1986)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE FRAGILE/NINE INCH NAILS

She shines
In a world full of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

Fragile
She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I won't let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'd
But it's too late for me

I won't let you fall apart

We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting
And picking and picking and picking and picking

It's something I have to do
I won't let you fall apart
I was there, too
I won't let you fall apart
Before everything else
I won't let you fall apart
I was like you
I won't let you fall apart

ALBUM: THE FRAGILE (1999)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER/NINE INCH NAILS

I've become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flows down the path
We have chose

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear

The further I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
For ever and ever I am a part of

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you

All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone, but we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on

You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything

ALBUM: THE FRAGILE (1999)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SAIL TO THE MOON/RADIOHEAD

I sucked the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from
Moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars

Maybe you'll
Be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood
You'll build an ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon

ALBUM: HAIL TO THE THIEF (2003)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL FOR THE BEST/THOM YORKE

Waking up, and the bed was made
No one looked me in the eye
The more I try, the more I cry
And it's all for the best

Watched my brother cutting grass outside
Sitting on the porch, he told me
It's a long way to go
Before we can rest
And it's all for the best

You're so beautiful it seems
On a lonely lazy morning
And when I see you rocking back and forth
Whispering that it's all for the best

One day the storm will roll away
And soon you'll see
You're far away from home but never far away from me
And that's all for the best

Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
And walk away from trouble at the end of the day

Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
And walk away from trouble at the end of the day

Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
Say you love me
Let's just say you love me

ALBUM: THE HAWK IS HOWLING (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EVIL/INTERPOL

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the aging, the fearing, the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow-release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate not
Denial
But hey who's on trial?

It took a life spent with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"

We speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan
I could take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate not
Denial
But hey who's on trial?

It took a life spent with no cellmate
To find the long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me lightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shutters pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying, "why can't we look the other way?"
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

ALBUM: ANTICS (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DEVILS HAIRCUT/BECK

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash jukebox gasoline
Crystals are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smiling eyes ripping out of his sockets

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the brief case blues

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blasting disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying
And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind

Devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind

ALBUM: ODELAY (1996)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DOLL PARTS/HOLE

I am doll eyes
Doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms, big veins, dog bait
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache

I am doll parts
Bad skin, doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do, too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache

ALBUM: LIVE THROUGH THIS (1994)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BURN/NINE INCH NAILS

This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world's gonna have to pay
I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
I'm like the cancer in the system
I've got a little surprise for you

Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn
Burn

I look down there where you're standing
Flock of sheep out on display
With all your lies propped up around you
I can take them all away

Something inside of me, has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me, it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down

I never was a part of you (burn)

I am your savior (burn)
I am corruption (burn)
I am the angel (burn)
Of your destruction (burn)
I am perversion (burn)
Secret desire (burn)
I am your future (burn)
Swallowed up in fire

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE HAVEN'T TURN AROUND/GOMEZ

Diretto da LAURENCE DUNMORE

We came, we came, we came again
To stem the tide and point the blame
Came back for more
Came back to see what you had in store
Everyone join the line, everyone

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down
So you wanna make catastrophe?
Won't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high

The same, the same, the same again
To steal the time and haunt the graves
Just because it's there
Don't mean you see it anywhere
Maybe it's a trick of the light
Maybe, yeah

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down
So you wanna make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody come alive

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, bring 'em down
So you wanna make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down
So you say we haven't turned around?
So you say we haven't turned around?
Just everybody else is going wrong
Going wrong

ALBUM: LIQUID SKIN (1999)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ONLY IF YOU RUN/JULIAN PLENTI

I've had my frustrations about the pains of daily life
I've tasted degradation and found the lace and candle light
But we have the weights, we have the measures of our days and nights
I've had my frustrations, but now, I've found my place

And you will make it
But only if you run

These lonely dedications I've found, they bring me peace and light
When three-fold applications of doubt surround my fate, you might say
We have the weights, we have to wage an assault on what it is
'Cause harmless medications abound, and you're not sick

You will make it
But only if you run

Surprise
Surprise
Surprise
Surprise

You will make it
But only if you run

ALBUM: JULIAN PLENTI IS... SKYSCRAPER (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PROVE YOURSELF/RADIOHEAD

I can't afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I want to breathe, I want to grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray

But I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

ALBUM: PABLO HONEY (1993)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LABYRINTH/THE CURE

Say it's the same sun spinning in the same sky
Say it's the same stars streaming in the same night
Tell me it's the same world whirling through the same space
Tell me it's the same time tripping through the same day

Say it's the same house and nothing in the house has changed
Say it's the same room and nothing in the room is strange
Tell me it's the same boy burning in the same bed
Tell me it's the same blood breaking in the same head

Say it's the same taste taking down the same kiss
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you

Yeah tell me it's all the same
This is how it's always been
But if nothing has changed
Then it must mean

But the sun is cold, the sky is wrong
The stars are black, the night is gone
The world is still, the space is stopped
The time is out, the day is dropped

The house is dark, the room is scarred
The boy is stiff, the bed is hard
The blood is thick, the head is burst
The taste is dry, the kiss is thirst

And it's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you

It's not the same
This isn't how it's always been
Everything has to have changed
Or it's me

ALBUM: THE CURE (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOVE SPREADS/THE STONE ROSES

Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails
I forgive you boy, I will prevail
Too much to take, some cross to bear
I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright
She's my sister

She didn't scream, she didn't make a sound
I forgive you boy, but don't leave town
Cold black skin, naked in the rain
Hammer flash in the lightning
They're hurting her again

Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen
Let me put you in the picture
Let me show you what I mean
The messiah is my sister
Ain't no king man she's my queen

I have a dream, I've seen the light
Don't put it out, say she's alright
She's my sister

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHIVER/COLDPLAY

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me
Don't you?

But on and on
From the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care

Oh, did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
And I wanted to say

Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
I'll sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you

So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?

But on and on
From the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care, if you care

Did you want me to change?
Well I'd change for good
And I want you to know that you'll always get your way
And I wanted to say

Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
I'll sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
For you, I will always be waiting
And it's you I see
But you don't see me
And it's you, I hear
So loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention
And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CRYING LIGHTNING/ARCTIC MONKEYS

Sat in the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix

Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

And your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are crying lightning

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOUR LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH/MANIC STREET PREACHERS FEAT. NINA PERSSON

Your love alone is not enough, not enough, not enough
When times get tough, they get tough, they get tough, they get tough
Trade all your heroes in for ghosts, in for ghosts, in for ghosts
They’re always the one’s who love you most, love you most, love you most

Your love alone is not enough, not enough, not enough
It’s what you felt, it’s what you said, what you said, what you said
You said the sky would fall on you, fall on you, fall on you
Through all the pain your eyes stayed blue, they stayed blue, baby blue

But your love alone won’t save the world
You knew the secret of the universe
Despite it all you made it worse
It left you lonely
It left you cursed

You stole the sun straight from my heart, from my heart, from my heart
With no excuses, just fell apart, fell apart, fell apart
No you won’t make a mess of me, mess of me, mess of me
For you’re as blind as a man can be, man can be, man can be

I could have seen for miles and miles
I could have made you feel alive
I could have placed us in exile
I could have written all your lines
I could have shown you how too cry

Your love alone is not enough
Your love alone is not enough

ALBUM: SEND AWAY THE TIGERS (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MISTAKE/MOBY

Don’t speak to me this way
Don’t ever let me say
Don’t leave me again
Don’t leave me again

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more

Don’t hug me this way
Don’t touch me this way
Don’t hug me again
Don’t hug me again
Don’t hug me this way
Don’t touch me this way
Don’t hug me again
Don’t hug me again

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more

Don’t let me make the same mistake again
Please, don’t let me make the same mistake again
Please, don’t let me make the same mistake again
Don’t let me make the same mistake again

I never felt this loss before
And the world is closing doors
I never wanted anything more

Don’t let me make the same mistake again
Don’t let me make the same mistake again
Please, don’t let me make the same mistake again
Please, don’t let me make the same mistake again

ALBUM: WAIT FOR ME (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RUBY/KAISER CHIEFS

Let it never be said that romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need, 'cept the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed doesn't matter to me

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what your doing, doing to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

Due to lack of interest
Tomorrow is cancelled
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
Cos' theres nothing at all cept' the space in between
Finding out what you're called and repeating your name

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what your doing, doing to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

Could it be could it be that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me
Could it be could it be that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what you're doing, doing to me
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
What you're doing, doing to me

ALBUM: YOURS TRULY, ANGRY MOB (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE DRUGS DON'T WORK/THE VERVE

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, if heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
You leave my life
I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, if heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
You leave my life
I'm better off dead
But if you wanna show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PIONEER TO THE FALLS (ORCHESTRAL VERSION)/INTERPOL

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait

Well it is still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

But if it's still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine
And supervise

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

And oh, you try
You tried
Straight into my heart
You fly
Straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly
Straight into my heart
You fly
Straight into my heart
But here comes the fall

So much for make believe
I'm not sold
So much of pain's deceit
I'm not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel
Your heart makes me bold
For always and ever
I'll never let go
Always concealed
Safe and inside
Alive

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke
I pull the black from the grey
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHINA GIRL/DAVID BOWIE

Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl

I couldn't escape this feeling with my China girl
I feel a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China girl
Wake up in the morning, where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing down

I'm feeling tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
You know
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China girl says
"Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth"
She says "shhh"
She says "shhh"
She says
She says

Oh, little China girl
Oh, little China girl
