LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MARRIED WITH CHILDREN/OASIS

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye, I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye, I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you know you're wrong
You say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite, it keeps me up all night, up all night

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye, I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye, I'm going home

I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic
Your music's shite, it keeps me up all night, up all night

And it will be nice to be alone for a week or two
But I know then I will be right, right back here with you
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you, with you

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye, I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye, I'm going home

ALBUM: DEFINITELY MAYBE (1994)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE/THE BEATLES

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
And calls me on and on across the universe

Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva

POST-IT: THOM YORKE/APART BY HORSES/THE HOLLOW EARTH 12''

Non si è ancora spenta l'eco delle voci sul presunto, misterioso EP dei Radiohead, in occasione della release di These Are My Twisted Wors, che già si annunciano novità dalle parti di Oxford: sembra infatti che la TDB Records, l'etichetta che aveva distribuito fisicamente In Rainbows dopo la fase digitale, abbia programmato per il prossimo 22 di Settembre l'uscita di un 12 pollici in vinile a tiratua limitata con due nuove canzoni di Thom Yorke, Apart By Horses e The Hollow Earth (brano fortemente indiziato di far parte della colonna sonora di New Moon, il sequel di Twilight). In rete si dice che il disco avrà uno splendido artwork e packaging, come del resto ogni opera del duo Stanley Donwood - Dr. Tchock (ovvero Thom stesso). Non ci resta che aggiornare la lista della spesa ed aspettare...

POST-IT: GLI OASIS SI SCIOLGONO? NO. ANZI, SI

Qualche giorno fa, il Sun, popolare testata inglese, riportava la probabile e prossima scissione degli Oasis a causa dell'ennesima lite tra Liam e Noel, anticipando che il concerto in programma a Milano il 30 agosto sarebbe stato l'ultimo nella storia della band di Manchester. La notizia è stata ovviamente ripresa dai blog di mezzo mondo, salvo poi essere più o meno smentita (l'autorevole The Guardian l'aveva liquidata come "il solito business" dei fratelli Gallagher). Ieri sera, invece, pochi istanti prima di salire sul palco del Rock En Seine di Parigi, i due hanno di nuovo avuto un alterco, questa volta piuttosto violento, venendo persino alle mani. Pare addirittura che Liam abbia distrutto la preziosa chitarra del fratello. Ci sarebbe anche un testimone, la malcapitata cantautrice scozzese Amy MacDonald, anche lei nella line-up del festival parigino, che sulla sua pagina di Twitter ha scritto testualmente: "Oasis cancelled again with one minute to stage time!!! Liam smashesd Noels guitar, huuuge fight!". Fatto sta che, sul MySpace ufficiale degli Oasis è comparso un post, a firma Noel Gallagher, nel quale il musicista annuncia, con tristezza e con gran sollievo, di aver lasciato il gruppo, e che non importa cosa dirà la gente, ma lui semplicemente non può andare avanti così con Liam neanche un altro giorno. Noel inoltre si scusa con tutti i fan che avevano acquistato i biglietti per lo show di ieri a Parigi, e per le date previste per questa sera al Rock Am See Festival di Costanza, in Germania, e per domani all'I-Day Urban Festival di Milano, che a questo punto sembrano definitivamente cancellate. Certo, non si tratta assolutamente della prima lotta interna ai Gallagher Brothers, ma stavolta le cose potrebbero essersi spinte oltre il punto di non ritorno.
Di seguito il testo originale del comunicato pubblicato da Noel su MySpace:

A STATEMENT FROM NOEL

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)/PHIL COLLINS

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now
'Cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Its the chance I've got to take

Just take a look at me now

ALBUM: AGAINST ALL ODDS (Soundtrack) (1984)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CARTOONS AND MACRAMÉ WOUNDS/MEW

You drew me cartoons so playful
(Did you run away?)
I’m stuck now, I’ll carry light in a while
I’m stuck now that I’m carried white to the side
(Memories drown)
And you drew me cartoons so playful
Nobody’s gone tonight
You drew me cartoons

You watch it, they way you’re always keeping score
You keep in store, you keep it

I’m not you
What a waste, me
When you give all you got and there’s already made plans

Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find

It takes me summer to say
It takes me winter in a day

Honestly, see
They’re like you and me
Frozen when we start
We cannot help it
Easy to discard, taken apart
Put your hand in mine
We will go skating
On the thinnest ice that we can find

Tonight I’m watching the sky
The creatures you drew
They remain alive
The cushion’s lighter
And what do you want?
Is this what happens to us now?

Sunk beneath the sea
That’s no way to be
What came over me?
Drawn and held with you
This is what we do
We are weaving wounds
(94)
I’m a let you know
And just saying won’t make it so
(Macramé)
I’m a say the words
In cemented ears they are heard
Would you like to be a crease in parasols?
Did I need to know? A wound in macramé
Through all this we decipher
And what’s worse, we’re no wiser

ASCOLTI: A BRIEF HISTORY OF LOVE/THE BIG PINK

DOMINOS/THE BIG PINK

Non c'è che dire: a scuola, la lezione sul Brit Pop i Big Pink l'hanno imparata proprio bene. Nell'album d'esordio della band inglese, infatti, si distinguono riferimenti neanche troppo velati agli Stone Roses, agli Oasis, ai Verve, sapientemente amalgamati e rielaborati con una punta di suoni elettronici. Un'operazione che ricorda, seppur in modo più concreto e meno eccentrico, i lavori dei dei Kasabian. The Brief History Of Love ha un andamento piuttosto coerente: l'intro deciso di Crystal Visions, la convincente At War With The Sun, il nuovo singolo Dominos (un potenziale inno, col suo ritornello "these girls fall like dominos") e le già note hit Velvet e Too Young Too Love, perfettamente inserite nel contesto, la rumorosa Frisk e la ballata Love In Vain, forse il brano più riuscito. Un disco che di certo non brilla per originalità, e che nulla toglie e nulla aggiunge al panorama musicale britannico, ma che tutto sommato si lascia ascoltare con piacere.

POST-IT: BECK'S RECORD CLUB

BECK'S RECORD CLUB/THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO

Manca un solo tassello del puzzle, e poi The Velvet Uderground & Nico, il primo dei dischi del progetto Record Club, con il quale Beck, assieme ad un manipolo di amici fidati (Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, Giovanni Ribisi, Brian Lebarton, Bram Inscore, Yo, Chris Holmes e la cantante islandese Thorunn Antonía Magnusdottir), intende rileggere alcune pietre miliari del rock registrando tutti i pezzi in una sola sessione, sarà ultimato. Negli ultimi due giorni, infatti, l'eclettico e prolifico (contemporaneamente sta lavorando anche alla replica acustica di Modern Guilt) musicista americano ha pubblicato sul suo sito ufficiale le cover di I'll Be Your Mirror e The Black Angel's Death Song. Aspettiamo quindi European Son per completare l'album, mentre in rete si parla già di Evol dei Sonic Youth ed Oar di Skip Spence come possibili nuovi capitoli del Beck's Record Club: si accettano scommesse...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPECIAL CASES/MASSIVE ATTACK FEAT. SINEAD O'CONNOR

Diretto da H5

Don't tell your man what he don't do right
Nor tell him all the things that make you cry
But check yourself, for your own sake
And don't be making out like it's all his

Take a look around the world
You see such bad things happening
There are many good men
Ask yourself: "is he one of them?"

The deadliest of sin is pride
Make you feel like you're always right
But they're always, two sides
It takes two to make love, two to make a life

Take a look around the world
You see such mad things happening
Their the few good men
Thank your lucky star that he's one of them

Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in Portland
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walks with me in my dreams
So strange and true
Can I walk with you in Portland
Walk next to you

Aly, walk with me in New York City
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk right out of my dreams
Into my arms
Aly, walk with me in the city
Aly, walk with me

Aly, step right out of my head
And kiss me goodnight
Aly, walk with me in my dreams
All through the night

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CAMERA/EDITORS

Keep close to me now
I'll be your guide
Once we have black hearts
Then love dies

Look at us
Through the lens of a camera
Does it remove
All of our pain?
If we run
They'll look in the back room
Where we hide
All of our feelings

I just close my eyes as you walk out

I'll keep your eyes wide open tonight
Keep the car on the road now
Feel love bites

Look at us
Through the lens of a camera
Does it remove
All of our pain?
If we run
They'll look in the back room
Where we hide
All of our feelings

I just close my eyes as you walk out

You fall from grace
We fall with such grace
You fall from grace
We fall with such grace
You fall from grace
We fall with such grace
You fall from grace
We fall with such grace

Look at us
Through the lens of a camera
Does it remove
All of our pain?
If we run
They'll look in the back room
Where we hide
All of our secrets

I just close my eyes as you walk
I just close my eyes as you walk
I just close my eyes as you walk
I just close my eyes as you walk
I just close my eyes as you walk
I just close my eyes as you walk out

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FORGIVEN/ALANIS MORISSETTE

You know how us catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
I'll see you next sunday

We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

I sang alleluia in the choir
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the father, the skeptic and the son
I had one more stupid question

We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

What I learned I rejected but I believe again
I will suffer the consequences of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven

We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

We all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BIG THING/DURAN DURAN

Get it up get it out get it in time
Hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
Move it in move it out move up the line
Bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

Brothers and sisters let me hear it
Get it up get it on get it in time
Give me the green light and watch me move it
Move it up move it out move up the line
This is temptation power rotation
Give me the friction and watch me make it
Make it up making out making it slide

So glad you came along
This time you won't be wrong
You love to turn it on
And you're not the only one

Get it up get it out get it in time
Hang it up hanging out hanging on a big thing
Move it in move it out move up the line
Bang it up bang it out banging on a big thing

Brothers and sisters we can take it
Shake it up shake it out shake it all the time
Give me the suction we can stick it
Lick it up suck it up stick it outside
This is temptation (station)
Power rotation (to station)
Give me the playlist and watch me eat it
Eat it up beat it up beat it in time

So glad you came along
This time you won't be wrong
You love to turn it on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT/NIRVANA

I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put in to this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain
You know you're right

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
Pain

CONCERTI: STATO DI SERVIZIO

13/10/02 SIGUR RÓS (Firenze/Tenax)

Tanto per passare il tempo, in questa caldissima giornata d'estate, mi sono messo a frugare nel passato, recente e remoto, ed ho cercato di ripercorrere l'elenco di tutti i concerti ai quali ho assistito, e dopo aver raccolto gli indizi, le prove, le memorie ed i biglietti superstiti, ho stilato una classifica, un'autocertificazione del mio stato di servizio: il premio fedeltà va di diritto ai Cure, con 9 presenze, a seguire Duran Duran e Radiohead (in rimonta, speriamo). Ho volutamente omesso gli artisti italiani, che giocoforza è più facile riuscire a vedere dal vivo, e sicuramente, ma in modo del tutto involontario, avrò dimenticato anche qualcun altro. Ad ogni modo, ecco la graduatoria completa, in attesa dei prossimi impegni:

9. THE CURE

5. DURAN DURAN

4. SIMPLE MINDS

3. DEPECHE MODE

Make our escape, you're my own papillon
The world turns too fast, feel love before it's gone
It kicks like a sleep twitch
My papillon, feel love where it's gone
It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling, just don't put down your guns yet
If there really was a god here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Darling, you were born, get old and die here
Well that's quite enough for me too
We'll find our own home somehow

No sense of doubt of what you can achieve
I'd send you out, I've seen the life you wish to lead
Well it kicks like a sleep twitch
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe
It kicks like a sleep twitch

Darling, just don't put down your guns yet
If there really was a god here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Darling, you were born, get old and die here
Well that's quite enough for me too

Diretto da SPIKE JONZE

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll never feel bad anymore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EAT RAW MEAT = BLOOD DROOL/EDITORS

I don't wanna be ignored, oh God
When I'm going off this fight
You're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat
Your blood drool attracts the flies

I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her

I don't wanna be left out, or get fucked
But there's a talent in your lies
If you're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat
Your blood drool attracts the flies

I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
A little bit for myself, I'm gonna pass up your help, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her

Don't wait for the sun
Your, your story's been spun
These boys, they just wanna have fun
Your, your damage is done

I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
A little bit for myself, I'm gonna pass up your help, I give a little to her

Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her?

You listened, you listened, you listened
To what she said to you

The sound of sounds enlightening

The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to

The sound of sounds enlightening you
The sound of sounds enlightening

Have you forgotten who you are?
Have you forgotten who you are?

Could you ever stop and wonder
Could you live without her?

The sound of sounds enlightening you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MYXOMATOSIS/RADIOHEAD

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his newfound friends
He said I been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied

I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, fucked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used in a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon
And I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
Don't know why I feel so skinned alive

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
No one likes a smart-ass but we all like stars
But that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
It must have got mixed up
Strangled, beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UP ON THE LADDER/RADIOHEAD

I'm stuck in the Tardis
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute, snake charming
The next in a motorcade

All the right moves and in the right place
Watch my dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the string

You let the people down
You let the people down
You let the people down

Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time

You let the people down
You let the people down
You let the people down

Up on the ladder, out of time to escape
Up on the ladder, we wait for your mistake
Up on the ladder, trying to crawl out the way
Up on the ladder, you're all the fucking same

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JUST A MAN/FAITH NO MORE

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you I am and just a man

Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow

And every night I shut my eyes
So I don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky
A cloudy sky

Man was born to love
Though often he has sought
Like Icarus, to fly to high
And far too lonely then he ought
To kill the sun of east and west
And hold the world as his behest

To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed
But me, I am just a man

And every night I shut my eyes
So I don't have to see the light
Shining so bright
I'll dream about a cloudy sky
A cloudy sky

And every night I shut my eyes
But now I've got them open wide
You've fallen into my hands
And now you're burning me
And now you're burning me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THESE ARE MY TWISTED WORDS/RADIOHEAD

These are my twisted words
When I feel you still walking
I know I should not look down
But I’m so sick of just talking

When are you coming back?
I just can’t handle it
When are you coming back?
I just can’t handle it

When are you coming back?
I just can’t stand it
I just can’t handle it


Una nuova canzone dei Radiohead trafugata dalla rete? Sembrerebbe proprio di sì. La voce, inconfondibile, è quella di Thom Yorke; la base ritmica assolutamente riconducibile alla batteria di Phil Selway ed al basso di Colin Greenwood; le chitarre nello stile di Ed O'Brien e Johnny Greenwood. E l'alta qualità del file mp3, associato ad un (tipicamente Radiohead) criptico file pdf, in parte redatto in ASCII art, fanno pensare ad brano ufficiale: il nuovo pezzo per la colonna sonora di New Moon, il sequel di Twilight? Una traccia parte degli EP e dei singoli di cui Thom ha parlato recentemente in un'intervista al magazine americano The Believer? Oppure, più semplicemente, un regalo della band ai propri fans, celato nel post misterioso che qualcuno (i Radiohead stessi?) ha pubblicato sul message board di At Ease, il principale fansite dei gruppo? Di qualunque cosa si tratti, in ogni caso, il risultato è davvero notevole...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EYE OF THE TIGER/SURVIVOR

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE WAKE-UP BOMB/R.E.M.

I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
I scud along the horizon chew some sweet tree
I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
I like being seen
I look good with my drink eat no sleep
Take a leap, longevity
I look good in my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep

My head's on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great american novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done

Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

Yeah, atomic, supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, pond scum

My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MY PROPELLER/ARCTIC MONKEYS

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys

Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy

Coax me out my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller

MESSAGGIO DI SERVIZIO

Ci scusiamo per la momentanea interruzione, le selezioni riprenderanno il più presto possibile.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ON YOUR OWN/BLUR

Holy man tiptoed his way across the Ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videod by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shellsuits on and drinking lemonade
Now I got a funny feeling which I bought mail order
From a man in a teepee in California
Said he once was that great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away
Blew it all away

So take me home
Don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I'm not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot
You should try it
R.E. parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end

Then you're on your own

Well we all go high for day glow in the discos
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says Lord give me time for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space

So take me home
Don't leave me alone
I'm not that good
But I'm not that bad
No psycho killer
Hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot
You should try it
R.E. parole get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end

Then you're on your own
