Lordy don't leave me all by myself

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE DARK OF THE MATINÉE/FRANZ FERDINAND

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
The clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
What I made is unclear, but his deference is and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Yes, It's easy now

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

RADIOHEAD/HENRY FONDA THEATRE/LOS ANGELES, 24 GENNAIO 2010

POST-IT: CHRIS MARTIN, ALBERI E BUOI DEI PAESI TUOI...

Vatti un po' a fidare degli ecologisti: sembra che Chris Martin, leader dei Coldplay, noto anche per le sue campagne eco-solidal-vegetariane, e sua moglie, l'attrice Gwyneth Paltrow, abbiano acquistato la terza casa nella stessa via di Londra. La proprietà è destinata, a quanto pare, ad essere trasformata in una lussuosa dependace, per ospitare lo staff della coppia (le prime due abitazioni, poste esattamente sull'altro lato della strada, invece, erano state unificate per ottenere una magione da ben 33 stanze). La notizia in sè non avrebbe nulla di strano, se non la solita megalomania delle celebrità, ma c'è dell'altro: i due, infatti, vorrebbero sostituire la palizzata in legno che ciroconda gli edifici con un muro tecnologico alto oltre tre metri, scatenando così le proteste dei residenti nella strada in questione. "E' da anni che sopportiamo i loro lavori edilizi. Adesso ci mancava anche la parete. Ci opporremo, stanno trasformando una casa vittoriana in una fortezza. Hanno anche fatto tagliare degli alberi per poter parcheggiare le loro auto vistose" pare abbia detto un vicino di casa Martin/Paltrow: tutte rigorosamente euro 5, si suppone, le appariscenti vetture... Che il buon Chris e la bella Gwyn si battano contro la deforestazione, sì, ma solo quella causata dagli altri?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GIRL I LOVE YOU/MASSIVE ATTACK

Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever

I say I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever

Girl I'm back in spanish town
Ain't no trouble coming around
You promise you will never let me down
If you love me that much you will stick around

It’s hard to tell that your love exist
But I know this one is for real

Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Forever

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE SUBSIDE/THE PINEAPPLE THIEF

And all our worlds subside
With everything inside
And always wonder why (we carry on)
And always wonder why (we sing this song)
And always wonder why (we carry on)
And always wonder why (now you are gone)

We'll carry on
We'll sing this song
To carry on

POST-IT: THE PINEAPPLE THIEF/SOMEONE HERE IS MISSING

I Pineapple Thief hanno un rapporto molto diretto con i loro fan (più che altro con quelli del Regno Unito, a dire il vero, dato che da queste parti, purtroppo, non si vedono praticamente mai), tanto da tenerli informati, oltre che tramite il sito ufficiale, anche mediante dei post su Facebook. E proprio attraverso il social network, hanno reso noto che il nuovo album, Someone Here Is Missing, è pronto. Il disco, che uscirà il 5 aprile per la Kscope, sarà composto da nove pezzi (un brano è stato depennato all'ultimo momento) per un totale di 46 minuti, e la copertina verrà disegnata nientemeno che dagli Storm Studios di Storm Thorgersonw, colui che ha ideato le cover dei dischi più famosi dei Pink Floyd, incluso The Dark Side Of The Moon, oltre ad aver lavorato con i Led Zeppelin, e più recentemente con Muse e Mars Volta.
Inoltre, la band di Yeovil ha appena ripubblicato l'album Little Man del 2006, il primo di una serie che vedrà l'uscita, in versione remixata e rimasterizzata, dei lavori più importanti del gruppo.

POST-IT: LALI PUNA/REMEMBER

I Lali Puna sono una band elettronica tedesca, imparentata con i Notwist. Il primo di aprile esce per la Morr Music il loro nuovo album, Our Inventions, anticipato dal brano Remember.

REMEMBER/LALI PUNA

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ODE TO MY FAMILY/THE CRANBERRIES

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
Do you see me? Do you see?
Do you like me? Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice? Do you know?
Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it, 'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this ? D'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Does anyone care?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LA COLLECTIONNEUSE/CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG FEAT. BECK

I collect many things
And keep them all close to me
To the celing from the floor
I'm tripping on them constantly

Pixelated faces play
On a blown out TV screen
Footage from a camera
These days I'm fast fowarding

I see a pattern start to form
Over time it's surfacing
Like a face I recognize
It never says anything

I add up all theses moments
In along narrow ledger
Decimals of pain
Intergers of pleasure
The sum of all these parts
I don't how to measure
They keep on adding up
They just keep on adding up

The collector
La collectionneuse

J'ai ceuilli ce brin de bruyère
L'automne est morte souviens-t'en
Nous ne nous verrons plus sur Terre
Odeur du temps Brin de bruyère
Et souviens toi que je t'attends

J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arrière
Le cadavre de mes jours

Que lentement passent les heures
Comme passe un enterrement
Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures
Qui passera trop vitement
Comme passent toutes les heures

Et toi mon coeur pourquoi bats-tu
Comme un guetteur mélancolique
J'observe la nuit et la mort

Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: INTERGALACTIC/BEASTIE BOYS

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic
Another dimension

Well now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style profile I said
It always brings me back when I hear Ooh child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon just up until the very last mile
If you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall you've got guile
To step to me I'm a rapophile
If you want to battle you're in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

Jazz and Awol that's our team
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Got to keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
On the tough guy style I'm not too keen
To try to change the world I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Gonna shine like a sunbeam
Keep on rapping cause that's my dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
When it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine
Another dimension new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

From the family tree of old school hip hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the wop
Also known for the Flintstone flop
Tammy D getting biz on the crop
Beastie Boys known to let the beat drop
When I wrote graffiti my name was slop
If my rap's soup my beats is stock
Step from the tables as I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic
Another dimension
Do it

ALBUM: HELLO NASTY (1998)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD/TEARS FOR FEARS

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MY BODY IS A CAGE/ARCADE FIRE

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on the stage
Of fear and self-doubt
It's a hollow play
But they'll clap anyway
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
Standing next to me
My mind holds the key

I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
I'm living in an age
Whose name I don't know
Though the fear keeps me moving
Still my heart beats so slow
My body is a cage
That keeps me from dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
Standing next to me
My mind holds the key
My body is a

My body is a cage
We take what we're given
Just because you've forgotten
That don't mean you're forgiven
I'm living in an age
Still turning in the night
But when I get to the doorway
There's no one in sight
I'm living in an age
Realizing I'm dancing
With the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're still next to me
My mind holds the key
Set my spirit free
Set my spirit free
Set my body free
Set my body free

Set my spirit free
Set my body free

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PARADISE CIRCUS/MASSIVE ATTACK FEAT. HOPE SANDOVAL

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm

We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable 

Oh well, the devil makes us sin

But we like it when we're spinning in his grip



Love is like a sin, my love

For the ones that feel it the most

Look at her with her eyes like a flame

She will love you like a fly will never love you again



It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm

We can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable

Oh well, the devil makes us sin

But we like it when we're spinning in his grip



Love is like a sin, my love
For the one that feels it the most

Look at her with a smile like a flame

She will love you like a fly will never love you again

Lost in the magic
From the last time
This town turning
My rose to desire

Saturday come slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Is there nothing there

In the limestone caves
In the southways lands
One time in the kingdom
Belief is on the stand

Saturday come slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Is there nothing there

Saturday come slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries, and cares, goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries, and cares goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie's farm
She's a bitch, with broken arms to wave
Your worries, and cares, goodbye

It's a maze for rats to try
It's a maze for rats to try
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
It's a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die
A race for rats to die
A race for rats to die
Burn away
Run away

Vi ricordate della titanica impresa nella quale si è imbarcato Billy Corgan degli Smashing Pumpkins, e cioè quella di registrare e rendere disponibile in download gratuito, in tempo reale, un album ispirato ai tarocchi e composto da ben 44 pezzi? Ebbene, si possono finalmente (il progetto doveva partire lo scorso halloween) scaricare le prime due tracce di Teargarden By Kaleidyscope, Widow Make My Mind ed A Song For A Son, andando sul sito ufficiale della band, o tramite il widget qui sotto.

Nuovo progetto e nuovo video per Richard Ashcroft: il gruppo si chiama nientemeno che United Nations Of Sound, mentre il primo singolo s'intitola Are You Ready? ed anticipa l'uscita dell'album Redemption, atteso per fine marzo. Gli altri componenti della band? Sembra che l'unico membro sia lo stesso leader dei Verve...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT/MANIC STREET PREACHERS

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists
Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain
Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next


And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, will be next, will be next

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOBER/TOOL

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path is must we
Just because the son has come

Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done?

Why can we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we dream forever?
I just want to start things over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but the past and done
Mother Mary won't you whisper
Something but the past and done

Why can we not be sober?
I Just want to start this over
Why can't we sleep forever?
I Just want to start things over

I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust Me

Why can't we sleep forever?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHERE IT'S AT/BECK

There's a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans just clap your hands
Just clap your hands

Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone

take me home with my elevator bones
that was a good drum break

Pick yourself up off the side of the road
With your elevator bones and your whip-flash tones
Members only hyponotizers
Move through the room like ambulance drivers
Shine your shoes with your microphone blues
Hirsutes with your parachute fruits
Passing the dutchie from coast to coast
Like my man Gary Wilson rocks the most

Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at
I got two turntables and a microphone

What about those who swing both ways?
AC-DC's?
Let's make it out, baby

There's a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands
And just clap your hands

Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LA FAVOLA DI ADAMO ED EVA/MAX GAZZÈ

Santi numi ma che pena mi fate
Strozzati inghiottiti come olive ascolane
Spiedini di carne in fila sulle autostrade
Saldare al casello tanto per ringraziare
Pensarsi arrivati dopo un lungo week-end
Chiedo venia trovo un po' esagerato
Pagare tre volte un litro di benzina
Sentirsi ridire con sorrisi di rame
Che sono costretti dal mercato dei cambi
Ma andate a cagare voi e le vostre bugie

Credo di notare una leggera flessione del senso sociale
La versione scostante dell'essere umano che non aspettavo
Cadere su un uomo così divertente ed ingenuo da credere ancora
Alla favola di Adamo ed Eva
La favola di Adamo ed Eva

Dico quel che penso e faccio quello che dico
L'azione è importante siamo uomini troppo distratti
Da cose che riguardano vite e fantasmi futuri
Ma il futuro è toccare mangiare tossire ammalarsi d'amore

Credo di notare una leggera flessione del senso sociale
La versione scostante dell'essere umano che non aspettavo
Cadere su un uomo così divertente ed ingenuo da credere ancora
Alla favola di Adamo ed Eva

Light touch my hand
In a dream of golden skans
From now on
You can forget our future plans
Night touch my hand
With the turning golden skans
From the night and the light
All plans are golden in your hand

Set sail from sense, bring all her young
Set sail from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait

A hall of records, or numbers
Or spaces still undone
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records, or numbers
Or spaces still undone
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young

Light touch my hand
In a dream of golden skans
From now on
You can forget our future plans
Night touch my hand
With the turning golden skans
From the night and the light
All plans are golden in your hand

We sailed from sense
Brought all our young
We sailed from where we once begun
While we wait, while we wait
A hall of records, or numbers
Or spaces still undone
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young
A hall of records, or numbers
Or spaces still undone
Ruins, or relics, disciples and the young

Light touch my hand
In a dream of golden skans
From now on
You can forget our future plans
Night touch my hand
With the turning golden skans
From the night and the light
All plans are golden in your hand
Light touch my hand
In a dream of golden skans
From now on
You can forget our future plans
Night touch my hand

All plans are golden in your hand

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DRUMMING SONG/FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GIVING UP THE GUN/VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete
And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete
But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I’d cut the cannons down
My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound

Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight
Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night
You felt the coming wave
Told me we’d all be brave
You said you wouldn’t flinch
But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch

Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on

Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done
And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU MAKE IT EASY/AIR

Never been here
How about you?
You smile at my answer
You've given me the chance
To be held and understood

You leave me laughing without crying
There's no use denying
For many times I've tried
Love has never felt as good

Be it downtown or way up in the air
When your heart's pounding
You know that I'm aware

You make it easy to watch the world with love
You make it easy to let the past be done
You make it easy

How'd you do it?
How'd you find me?
How did I find you?
How can this be true?
To be held and understood

Keep it coming
No one's running
The lesson I'm learning
Cause blessings are deserved
By the trust that always could

Be it downtown or way up in the air
When your heart's pounding
You know that I'm aware

You make it easy to watch the world with love
You make it easy to let the past be done
You make it easy

You make it easy to watch the world with love
You make it easy to let the past be done
You make it easy

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WANT YOUR LOVE/TRANSVISION VAMP

I Want Your Love
I don't want your money honey
I want your love
I don't want your car baby
I want your
I don't need your friends
They don't need a mention

I want your love right now

ALBUM: POP ART (1988)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SLOW LIFE/GRIZZLY BEAR

I think I know what's on your mind
A couple words, a great divide
Waiting in the wings, a small respite
Crowding up the foreground from behind

Even though you're the only one I see
It's the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy

Take anything you want, it's fine
Keep up the slow life for the night
Don't take it back, I'll just deny
This constant noise all the time

Even though you're the only one I see
It's the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me

Even though you're the only I see
It's the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy
From the wind in front of me

Even though you're the only I see

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BABY DID A BAD BAD THING/CHRIS ISAAK

Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing

You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?
I didn't think so
You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get your lover back to you?
I wanna hope so
You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch her walk away?

Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Feel like crying
Feel like crying

You ever toss and turn you're lying awake and thinking about the one you love?
I don't think so
You ever close your eyes you making believe you're holding the one you're dreaming of?
Well if you say so
I hurts so bad when you finally know just how low she'll go

Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Baby did a bad bad thing
Feel like crying
Feel like crying

ALBUM: FOREVER BLUE (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FALLS TO CLIMB/R.E.M.

I'll take the position
Assume the missionary part
You work by committee
You had me pegged from the start
I'll be pounce pony
Phony maroney
Pony before the cart
I'll be pounce pony
This ceremony
Only fills my heart
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
A punch toy volunteer
A weakling on its knee
Is all you want to hear
And all you want to see
Romantically, you'd martyr me
And miss this story's point
It is my strength, my destiny
This is the role that I have chosen
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?
Gentlemen, mark your opponents
Fire into your own ranks
Pick the weakest as strategic
Move, square off
To meet your enemy
For each and every gathering
A scapegoat falls to climb
As I step forward, silently
Deliberately mine
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?
Had consequence chose differently
Had fate its ugly head
My actions make me beautiful
And dignify the flesh
Me I am free
I am free

ALBUM: UP (1998)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LE CHAT DU CAFÉ DES ARTISTES/CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG

Quand on est mort c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle
Laissez-moi faisander un mois
Et de là jetez-moi au chat
Qu'il refuse ma rate et mon foie
Mais choisissez l'heure pour qu'il me mange le cœur
Et je reste encore avec vous
Sur vos épaules et vos genoux
Que je sois puisqu'il faut qu'on existe
Le Chat du Café des Artistes

Et si le pain vient à manquer
Je serai là et n'hésitez pas
Brisez-moi les pattes et le cou
Et puis mangez-moi à même le chat

Ce ne sera pas la première fois
Qu'on aura mangé un artiste

Quand on est mort c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurais coupé la ficelle
Mettez moi dans une poubelle

Et puis ils m'ont oublié là
Comme ils ont oublié le chat
Comme ils oublieront ma tête et mes chansons

Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois
Que l'on oubliera un artiste

Quand on est mort c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurais coupé la ficelle
Mettez moi dans une poubelle
Et puis ils m'ont oublié là

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE LIFTING/R.E.M.

Grounded 5am
The nitelite is comforting
But gravity is holding you
Once settled into sleep you have watched, on repeat
The story of you life across the ceiling
And in review

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen

Good Morning, and how are you?
The weather's fine, the sky is blue
It's perfect for our seminar

Now close your eyes and start to breathe
All the noise to recede, allow yourself to drift and fly away
But you just stay

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never dreamed
Did you hear the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling you?

Locked into the conference room
We're only what our minds assume
And rationale is leaving you
This conceit, these systems of belief your counselor agrees
You've always marked your boundaries
Now you're free
And with relief

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never heard, never dreamed
You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never, never, never

Once you had a dream of oceans and sunken cities
Memories of things you've never known
And you have never known

ALBUM: REVEAL (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I WANNA BE ADORED/THE STONE ROSES

I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I wanna be adored
I wanna be adored

I don't
I wanna be adored
You adore me
You adore me
You adore me
I wanna I wanna I wanna be adored
I wanna I wanna I wanna be adored
I wanna I wanna I wanna be adored
I wanna, I gotta, I wanna be adored

ALBUM: THE STONE ROSES (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THINKING ABOUT YOU/RADIOHEAD

Been thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one, and you're now a star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit, I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself, and what do you care
When the other men are far, far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey?

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know and why should you care
When I'm not there
Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself, what do you care
When I'm not there

All the things you've got
She'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I bleed to please you

Been thinking about you

ALBUM: PABLO HONEY (1993)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOW/THE CRANBERRIES

Look, you're standing alone
Standing alone
However I should have known
I should have known
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

Now, you're just walking away
Walking away
When you said you always would stay
Always would stay
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world, you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

Never before
Never again
You will ignore
I will pretend
In your world you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone
