LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOLO COSÌ/NEFFA





Portami ben oltre i limiti
Ben oltre i segni che nascondi
Dietro ai tuoi angoli
Costringimi a non scordarti più
E adesso fammi entrare
Dentro al tempo di conoscerci

Questa notte è come un treno
Che non ferma mai
Sale solo chi si perde sempre
E sarà un altra storia
Se anche non lo vedi presto
Tu lo scoprirai
Che qualcosa manca ancora

Se le tue labbra dicono si
E le tue mani dicono si
Perché mi chiami amore
Io mi sento solo così
Se i tuoi respiri dicono si
Fra le lenzuola dici di si
Perché ci metti il cuore
Io mi sento solo così
Solo così

Vestiti di fiori e fragole
Di un'illusione che ti porti
In viaggio con le nuvole
Puoi dirmi addio prima di un attimo
Prima che sia un silenzio
Troppo lungo da interrompere

Questa notte è come un treno
Che non ferma mai
Sale solo chi si perde sempre
E sarà un altra storia
Se anche non lo vedi presto
tu lo scoprirai
che qualcosa manca ancora

Se le tue labbra dicono si
e le tue mani dicono si
perché mi chiami amore
io mi sento solo così
se i tuoi respiri dicono si
fra le lenzuola dici di si
perché ci metti il cuore
io mi sento solo così

Se le tue labbra dicono si
E le tue mani dicono si
E sarà un altra storia
Se i tuoi respiri dicono si
E sarà un altra storia
Fra le lenzuola dici di si
E sarà un altra storia
Io mi sento solo così
E sarà un altra storia

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LITTLE BIT OF SNOW/HOWARD JONES





Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
You have a light for us we need every glimmer
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow
When there is no feeling and no pain
It only lasts a little while
When one light goes out a part of all of us cries
Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow

Please don't throw you away we need you to stay
When you die a part of us dies
Not the body but part of the soul
Drink the sunshine warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries
Please hang on for us
Please give you to us
Don't destroy yourself in a little bit of snow

Drink the sunshine warm to the rain
Keep the glimmer alive for all of us
And a million matches in the night
Will help to light the way
When one light goes out
A part of all of us cries

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHO SAID/PLANET FUNK





I've never been to the USA
I am a slave by the minimum wage
Detroit, New York and LA
But I'm stuck in the UK

And if I went to the USA

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NIGHT RECONNAISSANCE/THE DRESDEN DOLLS





Nothing is crueler than children who come from good homes
God will forgive them, I guess, but whose side are you on?
Driving around the old town, I remember it all
Dropping my lunchbox and Tampax all over the hall
And they said

You are a socialist cokehead, we know from your clothes
You are a satanist worshipper, oh, that's evil
You think you're poet, a folksinger? A poser, nuh-oh
A volleyball player? You've got to be kidding us all

So we hide from the guns
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

No one can stop us
The script is a work of genius
No one has bought the rights yet but
We're not giving up
Every unwanted lawn jockey fits in the script
Directed by Spielberg and starring the masochist club

Mary, you look like hell
You're stuck in that ridiculous shell
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We know what you've been dreaming of
Give us some light and god's pure love
We're taking you to Hollywood
Hollywood

And we hide from the guns
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

One plays a socialist cokehead we dress in my clothes
One plays a satanist worshipper of things evil
One plays a poet who starts up a band of his own
One is a volleyball player with both of wrists broke

And we hide from the guns
On a night reconnaissance
Steal flamingos and gnomes
From the dark side of the lawn

And we give them good homes
Give them love they've never known
In the loft, in the barn
In the town where I was born
In the loft, in the barn
In the town where I was born
In the loft, in the barn
In the town where I was born

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CAN'T STOP FEELING/FRANZ FERDINAND





My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling
And the fun's not fun anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me here on my own
Yeah you leave me here on the floor
You can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore

Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No you won't stop moving along

My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I don't stop feeling
And we're not us anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me dancing alone
Yeah you leave me to die on the floor
You can't feel it
No you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Feel anymore, feel anymore
Feel anymore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HELTER SKELTER/U2





When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again

Do you, don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast, I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast now, don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and you stop
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again

Do you or don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THERE'S NO OTHER WAY/BLUR





You're taking the fun
Out of everything
Making me run
When I don't want to think
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
I don't want to think at all

There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play

You're taking the fun
Out of everything
You're making it clear
When I don't want to think
You're taking me up
When I don't want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all

There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DOLLARS AND CENTS/RADIOHEAD





There are better things to talk about
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive
With your blues

Even when it's only
Warnings
Even when you're talking
War games

Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?
Why don't you quiet down?

You don't live in a business world
He never goes and he never stays
We'll have goals in a liberal world
Living in times when I could stand it babe

It's all over, the baby's crying
It's all over, maybe I can see out of here

All over, the planet's dead
All over the planet, so let me
Out of here

All over, all over, all over, all over

Quiet down
(We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence and the mark and yen and yeah, we're going to)
Why don't you quiet down?
(Crack your little souls, we're going to crack your little souls)
Why don't you quiet down?
(We are the dollars and cents and the pounds and pence and the pounds and pence and yeah, we're going to)
Why don't you quiet down?
(Crack your little souls, we're going to crack your little souls)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU MORE/SOKO





I will never love you more than the drummer of Flaming Lips
I will never love you more than Woody Allen movies
I will never love you more than the White album of the Beatles
I will never love you more than god only knows

I will never love you more than DVD's night with my girlfriend
And we talk about stupid things like feelings and men
I will never love you more than my boyfriend when I was 14
Even if he's now an asshole, I will never love you more

And you say, you love me more than everything
And compared to me everything is nothing

I will never love you more than meeting Paul McCartney
And we asked him to play a song on my ukulele
I will never love you more than my scandinavian tour
Which was more than paradise, I wish you remember it too

I will never love you more than dancing to Phil Spektor
I will never love you more than my Casiotone keyboard
I will never love you more than Daniel Johnston himself
For me he's more than god, I will never love you more

And you say, you love me more than everything
And compared to me everything is nothing

Ohh this is sweet, I just wonder what it means

You say you love me more, than all the girls you have had before
Even more than music, even more than yourself
Even more than everything, but it's just a lie
So I will never love you more, than anything

I will never love you more than singing in the shower
I will never love you more than my Mac computer
I will never love you more than having a daughter
I will never love you more than peanut butter

I will never love you more than kisses all day
I will never love you more than cuddles all night
I will never love you more than kissing girls lips when they're really pretty

I will never love you more
I will never love you more

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OLIO SU TELA/MEG





Braccia dei campi
Rughe al sole
Muscoli tesi
Mente altrove

Altrove
Dove risiedono speranze
Impacchettate con fili d'oro
D'oro come il grano

Braccia dei campi
Rughe al sole
Muscoli tesi
Mente altrove

Se nel destino qualcosa c'é di scritto
È soltanto il canovaccio
Se su questa terra qualcosa c'é di definito
È sicuramente il solco dell'aratro

Braccia dei campi
Rughe al sole
Muscoli tesi
Mente altrove

Altrove
Dove riposano speranze
Belle come figlie
Senza dote
Che vogliono partire e studiare
E lasciare per sempre il proprio cuore
In quella terra fatta di lacrime e sole
E risparmi e sudore
E raccolti in trepidazione

Braccia dei campi
Rughe al sole
Muscoli tesi
Mente altrove

Se nel destino qualcosa c'é di scritto
È soltanto il canovaccio
Se su questa terra qualcosa c'é di definito
È sicuramente il solco dell'aratro

Braccia dei campi
Rughe al sole
Muscoli tesi
Mente altrove

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIKE TREASURE/EDITORS





Ain't it just like the old days
I wait and see how the hand plays
Living out our second hand clichés
Ain't it just like the old days

You are what you eat
You'll become digested
Well love, it isn't felt
Love is tested

You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure

We gotta get friends in high places
Hide behind their plastic faces
Rip up the flag and replace it
Dance with our friends in high places

You are what you eat
You'll become digested
Well love, it isn't felt
Love is tested

You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure

I used to want to be you
Now where's your shadow?
You're see through

You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STAY TOGETHER/SUEDE





Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in heaven today

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poison air
Just you and me forever by the motorway there

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers

There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?

Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky

Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers

C'mon Billy
Come to me
You know I'm waiting
I love you endlessly
C'mon Billy
You're the only one
Don't you think it's time now you met your only son
I remember lover's play
The corn was gold and we lay in it for days
I remember the things you said
My little Billy come to your lover's bed
Come home is my plea
Your home now is here with me
Come home to your son
Tomorrow might never come

C'mon Billy
You look good to me
How many nites now
Your child inside
Oh, don't forget me
I had your son
Damn thing went crazy
But I swear you're the only one

Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along Billy come to me
Come along now and come to me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BEAUTIFUL DAY/U2




The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you can lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me, Take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WANT A FOREST/EDITORS





There's blood in the sky
It bleeds from a mend
Behind those eyes
Diamonds turn to sand
Such a beautiful fall
I saw the surface break
The water's so cold
Your body shakes

On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up

I'm in your garden
But I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'm making a forest
I'm making a forest

You cut your high heels
In your own way
The silly little plans
The games you play
You try to make me lose faith
Where I make that way
There's a diamond in the rock
There's a needle in the pain

On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up

I'm in your garden
But I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'm making a forest
I'm in your garden
But I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'm making a forest
I'm making a forest

Il nuovo disco conterrà 14 brani, in gran parte registrati dallo stesso E nel suo studio privato a Los Angeles.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOW/R.E.M.





Dusk is dawn is day
Where did it go?
I've been laughing
Fast and slow
Moving in a still frame
Howling at the moon
Morning found me laughing
Up and down, down
Low, low, low
Night suits me fine
And morning suits me fine
I've been so happy
Way up high, high
In between
Down below
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I said the morning
It isn't your time
Barefoot naked
I can see your lines
It doesn't bother me
That you are right
Your grass is grassy wet
Your light white is bright
Light white, light

I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

You and me
We know about time
We know how things go
They come and go
They live and grow
They pass and go
And glow and glow
Up and down
High and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I like your hands
All full of glory
All full of glory

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NO SOUND BUT THE WIND/EDITORS





We can never go home
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The cranes that move above us
Our blood is cold
We're alone
But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light the way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They won't stay there forever
Our blood is cold
We're alone, love
But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light the way forever
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
It will light up the way forever

If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
There will mean surprise
When I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
It will light the way forever

Faccia a faccia con la mia
Ombra che si gettava
Nel bianco velo del tempo

Senza volto senza età
Pilotando un
Corpo senza guida a Istambul

Istambul baluardo sacro per
L' incrocio delle razze degli uomini brucierà

L' ho cercato nel freddo
Se ne stava solo là
Il mio volto nel fango di Istambul

L' incrocio delle razze degli uomini brucerà

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DIGGING IN THE DIRT/PETER GABRIEL





Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back, just drive the car
Shut your mouth, I know what you are
Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around, this is for real

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
Find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

The more I look, the more I find
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
This time you've gone too far
I told you, I told you, I told you, I told you

Don't talk back, just drive the car
Shut your mouth, I know what you are
Don't say nothing, keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around, this is for real

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
Find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt
Find the places we got hurt

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AN END HAS A START/EDITORS





I don't think that it's
Gonna rain again today
There's a devil at your side
But an angel on her way
Someone hit the light
'Cause there's more here to be seen
When you caught my eye
I saw everywhere I'd been
And wanna go to

You came on your own
That's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands
And air to breathe

I won't disappoint you
As you fall apart
Some things should be simple
Even an end has a start
Someone hit the light
'Cause there's more here to be seen
When you caught my eye
I saw everywhere I'd been
And wanna go to

You came on your own
That's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands
And air to breathe
You lose everything
By the end
Still my broken limbs
You find time to mend

More and more people
I know are getting ill
Pull something good from
The ashes now be still

You came on your own
That's how you'll leave
With hope in your hands
And air to breathe
You lose everything
By the end
Still my broken limbs
You choose to mend

You came on your own
That's how you'll leave
You came on your own
That's how you'll leave

You came on your own
You came on your own

No one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hands
Give a dog a bone, feed him for the day
And teach him how to kill and
I am the posted fence
I am the city wall
Stealing pounds and pence from you all
Still no one understands
The way you found your God
There's a bullet in your hands

Pour salt water on the wounds
Pour salt water on the wounds
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wounds

When the boys told you
You have the arms of a soldier
Those arms will never hold her again
It's just like I told you
When the boys told you
He's gonna be a soldier for me

Pour salt water on the wounds
Pour salt water on the wounds
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wounds

I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FALSE FLAGS/MASSIVE ATTACK




In city shoes
Of clueless blues
Pays the views
And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain i think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
more pretty flames
In school I would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me dumb
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The cells you fill screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and u.s. planes
Nothing's changed
And english boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE





Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
The sun is perched at its highest peak
In the middle of the day
Let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh, darling understand
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything ends

Meet me on your best behavior
Meet me at your worst
For there will be no stone unturned
Or bubble left to burst
Let me lay beside you darling
Let me be your man
And let our bodies intertwine
But always understand
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything ends
That everything, everything
Everything ends

A window
An open tomb
The sun crawls across your bedroom
A halo
A waning moon
Your last breath moving through you

As everything, everything ends
As everything, everything ends
As everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything ends

Meet me on the equinox
Meet me halfway
The sun is perched at its highest peak
In the middle of the day
And let me give my love to you
Let me take your hand
And as we walk in the dimming light
Oh, darling understand
That everything, everything ends

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT'S ALRIGHT (BABY'S COMING BACK)/EURYTHMICS





It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time

I'll be your cliff (you can fall down from me)
I'll be your ledge (you can lean upon me)
I'll be your bridge, your flowering tree
You can still depend on me
And I'll be (the ticking of your clock)
And I'll be (the numbers on your watch)
And I'll be (your hands to stop the time)
I'll even be your danger sign


It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time

And I'll be (your grace, your dignity)
And I'll be (your night, your destiny)
And I'll be (your comfort and your ease)
I will be your storm at seas
And I'll be (your sharp intake of breath)
And I'll be (your work I'll take no rest)
And when the world falls to decline
I'll be yours and you'll be mine


It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time
(Make it easy on yourself tonight)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOUL MEETS BODY/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE





I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what it's like to be new

Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So, brown eyes, I'll hold you near
Because you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ADVERTISING SPACE/ROBBIE WILLIAMS





There's no earthly way of knowing
What's in your heart when its' stopped going
The whole world shook
The storm was blowing through you
Waiting for god
To stop this
I'm too young and
And darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say something
There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
Your still fighting over everything you left

I saw you standing at the gate
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising Space
And no one learned from your mistakes
The little profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
He seemed to say
As you kept turning up
They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
Everybody loves your life
But you
A special agent for the man
Watergates and Vietnam
No one really gave a damn
D'ya think the sea I'm aiding

I saw you standing at the gate
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising Space
And no one learned from your mistakes
The little profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

And no one learned from your mistakes
The little profits go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
I've seen your doctor man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOLLIE PREFERENZIALI/CAPAREZZA





Povero dio tirato in ballo dagli uomini
Ma che religioni, sono questioni da economi
Questi omini minimizzano rombi di bolidi
Fanno sempre i loro porci comodi
Nel nome del Padre figli che si fanno invalidi
Senti solo alibi squallidi
Danno ragione solamente a visi pallidi
Quelli diversi riversi ed esanimi
Partono plotoni di uomini di uomini
Verso postazioni di uomini di uomini
Aggressori con volti di uomini di uomini
Aggrediscono figli di uomini di uomini
In un circo massimo di uomini di uomini
Nell'anno domini di uomini di uomini
Subiamo il fascino di uomini di uomini
Come ninfomani di uomini di uomini

Non vengo con te nel deserto, scusami se diserto ma preferisco

Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo
Preferisco che tu rimanga vivo

Gli uomini versano il tributo di nostalgie
Per epoche che mai hanno vissuto
La bandiera e il saluto
O con noi o stai muto
Questo è il terzo millennio, benvenuto
Chiedo aiuto a Newton, Isacco
Come cacchio si fa a sopportare fatti di 'sta gravità?
Anacronistica, la verità che viene a galla
Esperto di balistica misurami 'sta balla
E seguimi in questo viaggio tra santi e demoni
Che invece sono solo uomini di uomini
Tu che sei forte, alla morte sopravvivimi
Io sono debole quindi l'anima minami
Caro paese dalle belle pretese chiedimi
Se ti vedo come friend o come enemy
Ti piace fare la pace ma allora spiegami
'Sti missili che fischiano nell'aria come un theremin

Non vengo con te nel deserto, scusami se diserto ma preferisco

Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo
Preferisco che tu rimanga vivo

Preferisco

Partono plotoni di uomini di uomini

Aggressori con volti di uomini di uomini
Aggrediscono figli di uomini di uomini
In un circo massimo di uomini di uomini
Nell'anno domini di uomini di uomini

Come ninfomani di uomini si ma

Io Preferisco ammazzare il tempo
Preferisco sparare cazzate
Preferisco fare esplodere una moda
Preferisco morire d'amore
Preferisco caricare la sveglia
Preferisco puntare alla roulette
Preferisco il fuoco di un obiettivo

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU DON'T KNOW LOVE/EDITORS





You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You ran with the dead today
With the moles from the CIA
They see more than you ever see
Headlights in your rear view mirror
A panther's eyes as he preys on fear
You hunt for love, you electioneer

You ran with the dead today
Fill the cemeteries where ghosts still play
Before you run look out further away
One look at the soaring sight
Every little thing you die to hide
You know the truth when you lie


You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't feel love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before

You don't know love like you used to
