LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WEIRD FISHES/ARPEGGI/RADIOHEAD





In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

You were vanishing like paraffin
So you had to go back under
Flight B208 had been delayed
So you had to go back under

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged

I love my sister's touch
A loudspeaker's up above
Oh lady suck in deep from our paper
Come somehow
Oh, no

You were vanishing like paraffin
So you had to go back under
Flight B2O8 had been delayed
So you had to go back under

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged
We exchanged

I love my sister's touch
A loudspeaker's up above
Oh lady suck in deep from our paper
Come somehow
Oh, no

Look how far is there our plane
It's still through rain and window panes
And you

Our plane took off in pounding rain
I looked at you and we exchanged
we exchanged

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Scars on my shins, scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in the basketball court
John Joe`s in Sydney and he ain`t returning
I`m sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

My Mercury is in retrograde
My Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde
Mercury is in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what`s forgotten
Try not to worry about what`s being missed

Bleeding gums and v-veins protruding
You try to hate all of your clothes
The Mayor`s in L.A. and she ain`t returning
I`m sleeping with people I don`t even like

In any part of the world
From Silver Lake to Williamsburg
You can pick another stranger
And fall in love

Run away with me, away from the cynics
That this could be the start of something truly real
But all that I could say was hey

Hey, yeah we had everything
Vinyl and mono
And we looked the other way
Man, we were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I've gotta come and save the day?
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this?

Oh God, you owe me one more song
So I can prove to you that I'm so much better than him
Oh God, please listen fast
Here comes the crash
We're gonna rise above
We've gotta smash it up
You won't abandon us again

Give us brilliant boys that we wanna fuck, woman
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Yeah, yeah ,yeah
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard but you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back?
I don’t think so

Oh God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you're sorry again
Oh God, you owe me one more song
So I could prove to you that I'm so much better than him
Oh God, I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right and you were wrong
Oh God, before I leave this life
Now an eightball isn’t love
A hooker’s never gonna come
Just give it back to me
Blow out all of the lights tonight

Two million miles down the PCH
And now he's gone
I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes
It had to be done
Their hand-job lies were just too cruel
Yeah mercy was done
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away, run away, run away, yeah

Now God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
Now God, I wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that I am so much better than him
Now God, you owe us one more song
Get out of my life, see this world as it really is
Is it just a sad slide show
Can't make a hooker come
And an eightball isn’t love
I need one thing that’s divine
Let me hear it tonight
Let me hear it tonight
I've gotta hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the last chords tonight, yeah

A wonderful thing

You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
You're the only story that never been told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

Follow the underdog
Hold on his collar tight
This city loves a scrap
One day it's gonna bite
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from having a good day
On a bad day
There's good days and bad days

Making a night of it
Breaking down barriers
Drowning your sorrows
Upset the regulars
Sticks and stones and animal bones
Can't stop me from getting away with
Good days on bad days
There's good days and bad days

Sticks and stones and animal bones
Sticks and stones and animal bones
There's good days and bad days
There's good days and bad days

If you had a different attitude
Instead of take and take and take
You have missed an opportunity
And that's a really big mistake
If you had a different attitude
You'd still have good days and bad days

I can't fly I never really could
I don't feel you ever really understood at all
I can't fly I never really could
I just throw my arms out as I fall
Always say you know me, you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show, no no no

I don't dream I never really did
Don't believe you ever really took this into good
No I don't dream I never really did
I just wake up, make up as I should

No I don't dream
No I don't dream
No I don't dream

I wont see I never really would
I don't sense you ever realised it right
No I wont see I never really would
I just roll my eyes up out of sight

Always say you know me, you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show

I can't ever come back, If I never go
I don't ever explain, if I never know
I won't ever take it, if I never give
And if I never live, if I never live, if I never live

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HAROLD AND JOE/THE CURE





Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Nothing ever loses me sleep
Nothing ever wins my heart
Nothing ever makes me want to sing along
And nothing makes me want to start

If I'm falling down a mountain
Then I pick myself up
If I crash into an iceberg
I don't give a frightful look around
If I am burning then I put myself out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Oh all the world
All inside out
Just look around

Nothing ever puts me out
Nothing ever pulls me in
Nothing ever makes me want to jump
And nothing makes me want to begin
Nothing ever gets me down
Nothing ever gets me uptight
And nothing ever makes me run around
And nothing makes me feel I might

If I'm hanging from a peach tree
Then I cut myself down
And if I look into the sun
I just turn up the sound
And if I swallow deathcap loverooms
Then I spit them right out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Yeah all the world
Inside out

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TRANSMISSION/JOY DIVISION





Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission

Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction
Waiting for our sight

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance
Further all the time

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise
Love to the beat of the show

And we could dance

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SEVENTH STRANGER/DURAN DURAN





Those words are all remainders
Echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers
The dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
I could have sworn in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger

For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

In the eyes of the stranger

I tremble

If I stumble

Can you hear my heart
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be solved
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse
The pace is on runaway train
Help I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

Help, I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be solved
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse
The pace is on runaway train
Help I'm alive, my heart keeps
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer

If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going

While my blood's still flowing
And my heart's still

CONCERTI: CLINIC/INIT/ROMA




I Clinic sono precisi, lineari. Chirurgici. Fanno il loro ingresso nella sala (operatoria per l'occasione) dell'Init, in divisa da infermiere, dottore, o killer seriale, fate un po' voi, ma l'effetto è comunque di grande impatto oculare. Per il resto, sul palco, oltre ai medici ed all'apparato strumentale, non c'è nulla. Il dosaggio minimo indispensabile. La visita della band di Liverpool comincia tardi, come un turno di notte all'ospedale, e dura giusto un'oretta (un intervento di routine, si dirà poi), lasciando tuttavia benefici effetti nella mente: filtrata dalla mascherina di protezione, la voce di Ade Blackburn assume una connotazione lieve, flebile, e terapeutica, mentre il mix di sonorità tradizionali e sperimentali amplifica lo spettro musicale, che si estende senza alcuna controindicazione dai pezzi più intimisti (Corpus Christi) a quelli post-punk (Shopping Bag). E così, poco dopo aver recuperato una vecchia cartella dall'archivio (Walking With Thee), i Clinic, come un'allucinazione, svaniscono nel nulla. L'effetto dell'anestesia è appena finito, ma compaiono già i primi postumi del trattamento: il riff introduttivo di Free Not Free, come un farmaco che non ne vuole sapere di essere eliminato dall'organismo, rimane in circolo... Forse è il caso di fare un controllo.

From the front to in the backyard
Someone fronted on the war tales
When the home is in the mirror
When the home is in the big smile

Give it learning
Cap out share it
See it all before your eyes
Sup it
Cup it
Pity poor
Free not free
A belly full of glee
You live here for your own
And make it known

See yourself outside your skin
See yourself outside you for miles
When the hoax is in the mirror
When the hoax is in the big smile

Give it learning
Cap out share it
See it all before your eyes
Sup it
Cup it
Pity poor
Free not free
A belly full of glee
You live here for your own
And make it known

Give it learning
Cap out share it
See it all before your eyes

ASCOLTI: YEARS OF REFUSAL/MORRISSEY




SOMETHING IS SQUEEZING MY SKULL

Catturato e messo in rete a tempo di record, parecchi giorni prima dell'uscita ufficiale, prevista tra un mese, arriva il nuovo lavoro di Morrissey, Years Of Refusal. La prima, immediata e piacevole sensazione è che si tratti di un album deciso, a tratti molto veloce e dalla grande personalità, e non una semplice operazione di riciclaggio artistico. Un disco nuovo, a tutti gli effetti, insomma. Brani come Something Is Squeezing My Skull, Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed e When Last I Spoke To Carol testimoniano, se mai ce ne fosse bisogno, quanto Moz abbia ispirato, negli anni, odierne realtà importanti come Kaiser Chiefs e The Last Shadow Puppets. E se la breve e divertente That's How People Grow Up fa il verso al vocal metal, You Were Good In Your Time rivela tutta la classe dell'ex leader degli Smiths. Davvero una bella sorpresa, ritrovare Morrissey ancora così in forma.

YEARS OF REFUSAL/MORRISSEY

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VICIOUS TRADITIONS/THE VEILS





I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
He gave his life for the nine million others
But on his graves written here lies Joseph
His countrys gun and innocent soldier

Fight your way out of this one

He grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
He made an easy million from a foreign investment
He danced with the devils in beautiful buildings
Affirmative action for a useful reunion

Hed change his name if it made any difference
Now hes waiting in line for the lasting confession
But on his graves written here lies our son Joseph
His countrys gun and innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

ASCOLTI: TONIGHT: FRANZ FERDINAND/FRANZ FERDINAND, TO LOSE MY LIFE/WHITE LIES




ULYSSES/FRANZ FERDINAND

Un atteso ritorno, ed una novità assoluta: Franz Ferdinand e White Lies. Tonight: Franz Ferdinand annuncia il terzo capitolo della storia della band scozzese, in uscita a fine mese. Alex Kapranos, in fase di lavorazione, lo aveva definito come un disco più lento, ma al tempo stesso anche più dance dei precedenti. Al primo ascolto, l'impressione è che si tratti di un album più completo e maturo, nel quale l'attitudine rock anni sessanta tipica del gruppo lascia spesso la scena a sonorità diverse: dall'elettronica quasi trance di Lucid Dreams all'elegante brit pop di Live Alone (che ricorda i Pulp di Jarvis Cocker), passando per l'atmosfera eighties di Can't Stop Feeling. Intendiamoci, si tratta di musica decisamente furba, quasi ruffiana, ma proprio per questo estremamente godibile. In più, va detto, Ulysses è davvero un gran singolo.
I White Lies, invece, sono la prima, grande novità annunciata del 2009, se non altro perchè vengono pubblicati dalla Fiction, la prima, storica etichetta dei Cure. Ma per quanto le tinte restino comunque oscure, ed i testi risultino particolarmente cupi, la giovanissima band inglese s'inserisce piuttosto nel solco tracciato dai Joy Division, di recente riportato alla luce con grande successo dagli Interpol prima e dagli Editors poi. Forse Harry McVeigh e compagni non saranno dotati di altrettanto talento, ma meritano comunque un ascolto: i signoli Death e To Lose My Life, grazie al passaparola su internet, sono già dei piccoli cult, ed anche pezzi come A Place To Hide e E.S.T. si lasciano ascoltare con piacere.

If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

You can tie my hands to the walls
But you can't tie my dreams to this place
I might fall like a rock from your heart
But you won't see me fall from grace

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
And my fears with the nurse on the stairs
I'm only going where you'll be some day
So don't say rest in peace in your prayers

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you

Fate always loses hope
Like electric sparks in my heart
Fate always loses hope
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never pretend for me
I hope you, remember me
I hope you, never forget about me

Should be cut, my friends
I believe there's a time when the cord can be cut
And this vision ends

And I'm gonna cry in a space that don't hold my fame

Walking in the cold

You're casting opinions at people who need them
All sparks will burn out in the end
Well be careful Angel, this life is just too long
All sparks will burn out in the end

All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
In the end

You burn like a bouncing cigarette

All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
In the end

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DIGITAL SUICIDE/HEARTSREVOLUTION





Sonic youth with sonic dreams, suicidal tendencies
Sonic youth with sonic dreams, suicidal tendencies
I left a trail of pills to find my broken heart in your lost mind
? ...all for you
Catch me in the middle of the night
With dreams so fierce I hold you tight
It's the very thing that I'm bound to love
And I hate this game and I wanna get off tonight
Stop the world, stop the world, stop the world
I wanna get off

Sonic youth in your tears, sonic youth in your fears
Sonic youth with sonic dreams and suicidal tendencies

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE/ELVIS PRESLEY





Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TELL ME WHAT TO SWOLLOW/CRYSTAL CASTLES





Through the walking, through me
I know he'd never hurt me
Daddy watched me sleeping
Praying for you silently

Daddy's let me sleepwalk
Without him I am secure
The only girl he'd never hurt
The one who smells so pure

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DADDY'S GONE/GLASVEGAS





How you are my hero
How your never here though
Remember times when you put me on your shoulders
How I wish it was forever you would hold us
Right now I'm too young to know
How in the future it will affect me when you go
You could have had it all
You, me, and mum y'know
Anything was possible

I wont be the lonely one
Sitting on my own and sad
A fifty year old
Reminiscing what I had

I wont be the lonely one
Sitting on my own and sad
Forget your dad, he's gone

All I wanted was a kick-a-bout in the park
For you to race me home when it was nearly getting dark
How I could've been yours, and you be mine
It could've been me and you until the end of time
Do what you want, when you want
Be as fuckin' insincere as you can
What kind of way is that to treat your wife
To see your son on Saturdays
What way is that to live your life?

I wont be the lonely one
Sitting on my own and sad
A fifty year old
Reminiscing what I had

I wont be the lonely one
Sitting on my own and sad
Forget your dad, he's gone

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOUL TO SQUEEZE/RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS





I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream
The angels in my dreams
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Today love smiled on me
It took away my face say please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction

It's bitter baby
And it's very sweet
I'm on a rollercoaster
but I'm on my feet
Take me to the river
Let me on your shore
I'll be coming back baby
I'll be coming back for more

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it never

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TO LOSE MY LIFE/WHITE LIES





He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was always careless as a child
And there's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
But a desperate fear flows through my blood
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

I said I've got no time I have to go
And I was more right then now I'll ever know
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret
And left him crying next to the chapels steps

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

He said

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

He said

He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was careless as a child
There's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
