LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE VIEW FROM THE AFTERNOON/ARCTIC MONKEYS

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns in hell

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You sholud bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Ought you send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus
Regardless of what's gone before

And she won’t be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You sholud bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out around 3 o' clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writer's block

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MONTH OF MAY/ARCADE FIRE

One, two, three, four

Gonna make a record in the month of may
In the month of may, in the month of may
Gonna make a record in the month of may
When the violent wind blows the wires away

Month of May it's a violent thing
In the city their hearts start to sing
Well some people singing sounds like screaming
Used to doubt it but now I believe it

Month of may everybody sing love
In the city watch it from above
And just when I knew what I wanted to say
The violent wind blew the wires away

We were shocked in the suburbs

Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
Now some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
I said some things are pure and some things are right
But the kids kids are still with their arms folded tight

So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young well
I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight?

Go wasted, go wasted in the belly of the town
That's why I'm still driving around
And around and around and around and around...

2009, 2010
Wanna make a record how I felt then
When I stood outside in the month of may
And watched the violent wind blow the wires away

If I died in the month of may
Let the wind take my body away then
Wish I may
I wish I might
Make me down there with my arms folded tight

Start again in the month of may
Start again in the month of may
Come on and blow the wires away
Come on and blow the wires away

ALBUM: THE SUBURBS/MONTH OF MAY (12 Single) (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STELLA WAS A DIVER AND SHE WAS ALWAYS DOWN/INTERPOL

When she walks down the street
She knows there’s people watching
The building fronts are just fronts
To hide the people watching her
She once fell through the street
Down the manhole in a that bad way
The underground drip
It's just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away, broke away
She broke away


Bottom of the ocean she dwells
Bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells

Stella
Stella
Stella
Stella I love you
Stella I love you
Stella I love you

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight
She broke away
She was all right but she can't come out tonight
She broke away
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, airtight
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away broke away
She broke away

Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
Well she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down, down, down there into the sea
She went down, down, down there, down there for me
Right on
Right on, it’s so good
Right on, it’s so good

There's something that's invisible
There's some things you can't hide
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping
In a wave you say goodbye


ALBUM: TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CANTONESE BOY/JAPAN

We're pushing through these farming towns
We've worked hard ploughing over grounds

Red army calls you
The call of the crowd
Red army needs you
It calls you now

Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier
Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Red army calls you home

Marching through the fields
We're changing
The lives we've led for years

Red army calls you

Red army needs you
It calls you now

Cantonese boy
Bang your tin drum
Cantonese boy
Civilian soldier

Raised your glass and called for more
Only young men broke the wall

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EVIDENCE/FAITH NO MORE

If you want to open your hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away

Evidence
Evidence
Evidence
Got a taste of evidence

I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

Anything you say we know you're guilty
Hands above your head and you won't even feel me

Evidence
Evidence
Evidence
Got a taste of evidence

I didn't feel a thing
You didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing
I didn't feel a thing
You didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify
I didn't feel a thing

ALBUM: KING FOR A DAY, FOOL FOR A LIFETIME (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE ARE THE PIGS/SUEDE

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say
Stay at home tonight

I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
Of the firing line

And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house

I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
I say we are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
Of the firing line

We are the pigs
We are the swine
We are the stars of the firing
But deceit can't save you so

We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them burn
We all watch them
We all watch them
We all watch them burn
Watch them burn

ALBUM: DOG MAN STAR (1994)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOMESICK/THE CURE

Hey, hey
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a blood-stained sky
Oh, it was sweet
It was wild
And oh, how we
I trembled
Stuck in honey
Honey cling to me
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me
The desire in me
To never go home

Just one more
And I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me
The desire in me
To never go home

ALBUM: DISINTEGRATION (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BY STARLIGHT/THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

By starlight I'll kiss you
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go
What will we do?
Soon said I will know
Are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
And all along we knew we'd carry on
Just to belong

By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty
My life has been untrue
And does she really know who I really am?
Does she really know me at last?
Are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?

ALBUM: MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FOLLOWED THE WAVES/MELISSA AUF DER MAUR

Feel me sneaking around again
Am I hanging around again?
Can't you see?
That my heart lies
My heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true

Please don't
Please don't make amends
See me
See me slip again
Break my heart
The cards of fate
Seal the deal
My heart lies
My heart lies to you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true
I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
I'll never stay with you

I followed the waves to you
I counted to see it through
But my heart lies to you
You'll never have me true

Between my fire sighs and my burning eyes
My heart burns wildly in his eyes
He's just a drunken, gambling man
Dealing with the hand of desire's thing
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean
I'm gonna shuffle his deck clean

ALBUM: AUF DER MAUR (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TALK SHOW HOST/RADIOHEAD

I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds

You want me
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing

You want me
Well come on and break the door down
You want me
Fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready

I'm ready
I'm ready


ALBUM: STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT) (CD 1) (1996)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH/THE SMITHS

The lanes were silent
There was nothing, no one
Nothing around for miles
I doused our friendly venture
With a hard faced
Three word gesture

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
That's what tradition means
And I doused another venture
With a gesture
That was absolutely vile

I started something
I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I grabbed you by the guilded beams
That's what tradition means
And now eighteen months' hard labour
Seems fair enough

I started something
And I forced you to a zone
And you were clearly
Never meant to go
Hair brushed and parted
Typical me, typical me, typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

I started something
I started something
Typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me, typical me, typical me
Typical me
I started something
And now I'm not too sure

ALBUM: STRANGEWAYS, HERE WE COME (1987)

POST-IT: EELS/TOMORROW MORNING

Terzo album in poco più di un anno per gli Eels: il prossimo 24 di agosto, infatti, uscirà Tomorrow Morning, terzo capitolo della trilogia iniziata la scorsa estate con Hombre Lobo, e proseguita all'inizio dell'anno con End Times. I ragazzi ci hanno preso gusto.

POST-IT: TIRED PONY

Un nuovo (super) gruppo, ed un album, intitolato The Place We Ran From, presentato come un film: il regista è Gary Lightbody degli Snow Patrol, tra i protagonisti Peter Buck dei R.E.M. e Richard Colburn dei Belle & Sebastian, con dei cameo di Tom Smith (Editors) e Zooey DeSchanel (She & Him). Mi sono iscritto alla mailing list, non si sa mai...

POST-IT: ARCADE FIRE/THE SUBURBS & MONTH OF MAY

L'avevano annunciato con una cartolina (l'uscita di un EP in vinile 12"), ed ora gli Arcade Fire mettono in streaming sul loro sito ufficiale delle clip di 30 secondi dei due nuovi brani in questione, The Suburbs, e Month Of May. Di per sè, in tempi in cui ormai il download libero e gratuito (e per intero) dei nuovi singoli è consuetudine, non è una gran notizia, ma il modo in cui la band canadese invita ad ascoltare la sua nuova musica è piuttosto divertente: si tratta infatti di un widget da far ruotare col mouse, come una sorta di giradischi virtuale. Si può far girare il disco anche al contrario, ma non c'è traccia di eventuali messaggi satanici...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHOOT THE RUNNER/KASABIAN

Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Dream
Dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Loose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream?
Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

Bang
Bang away with my chang
Always know that I can
Get your knee's on the floor
Absinth make you may whore
Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen
Shoot the runner
Shoot, shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

Kings
Kings may come and then go
By this sword you must know
That all things will come and then pass
Live your days like the last

Shoot, shoot the runner
'Cause I'm a king and she's my queen, bitch

ALBUM: EMPIRE (2006)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MOJO/PEEPING TOM

Those haunting rhymes are keeping the time
But they'll never get through to me
It's my party, but I'm waiting for someone to start it
It's my party, there's no one but me in the corner
Gotta get my mojo runnin'
Engine hummin', don't I?

Now roll it up and smoke it again
Now light me up and snort it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again

Keep haunting me, taunting me
but they'll never get through to me
It's my party, but I'm waiting for someone to start it
My party, there's blood on the ceiling, the carpet
Gotta get my mojo runnin'
Engine hummin', don't I?

Now roll it up and smoke it again
It's bottoms up and drink it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again

I'm readin' the signs
Makes me wonder why they're getting through to me
Gotta get my mojo runnin'
Engine hummin', don't I?
Gotta get my mojo runnin'
Engine hummin', don't I?

Now roll it up and smoke it again
It's bottoms up and drink it again
Now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again

Oops, I did it again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE ONE I LOVE/R.E.M.

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BIG EXIT/PJ HARVEY

Look out ahead
I see danger come
I want a pistol
I want a gun
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's crazy
Give me the gun

Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I 'm with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land

I met a man
He told me straight
"You gotta leave
It's getting late"
Too many cops
Too many guns
All trying to do something
No-one else has done

Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I 'm with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land

Sometimes it rains so hard
And I feel the hurt
In my heart
Feels like the end of the world
I see the children
Sharp as knives
I see the children
Dead and alives
Beautiful people
Beautiful girls
I just feel like
It's the end of the world

I walk on concrete
I walk on sand
But I can't find
A safe place to stand
I'm scared baby
I wanna run
This world's crazy
Gimme the gun

Baby, baby
Ain't it true
I'm immortal
When I 'm with you
But I want a pistol
In my hand
I wanna go to
A different land

ALBUM: STORIES FROM THE CITY, STORIES FROM THE SEA (2000)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IL PRIMO GIORNO DEL MONDO/DELTA V

Ecco si svuota
L’ultimo giorno del mondo
In un momento perfetto
Dentro un abisso profondo
E io mi accorgo confusa
Che la mia vita passata
Non mi appartiene davvero
Ferma a mezz’aria nel cielo
E io mi sento sola e più sincera

Scivolo veloce sulle cose che non vedo più
Il sole che splende solo per me
Mentre l’orizzonte in un momento brucia un po’ più in su
E non so se il mio fuoco è spento oramai
Resto ferma qui a guardare quello a cui non credo più
Distese di fiori sotto di me
Nuvola nel cielo si dissolve ricadendo giù
E non so se quel vuoto si riempirà

Lento si sveglia
Il primo giorno del mondo
L’unico istante perfetto
L’unico libro mai letto
E intanto guardo stupita
Questa promessa di vita
Questa poesia da rifare
Un nuovo mondo da amare
E io mi sento stanca e più leggera

Scivolo veloce sulle cose che non vedo più
Il sole che splende solo per me
Mentre l’orizzonte in un momento brucia un po’ più in su
E non so se il mio fuoco è spento oramai
Resto ferma qui a guardare quello a cui non credo più
Distese di fiori sotto di me
Nuvola nel cielo si dissolve ricadendo giù
E non so se quel vuoto si riempirà

Piove sulle cose
Della nostra vita
Sopra un mondo che non c’è
Ma rinasce già

Scivolo veloce sulle cose che non vedo più
Il sole che splende solo per me
Mentre l’orizzonte in un momento brucia un po’ più in su
E non so se il mio fuoco è spento oramai
Resto ferma qui a guardare quello a cui non credo più
Distese di fiori sotto di me
Nuvola nel cielo si dissolve ricadendo giù
E non so se quel vuoto si riempirà

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TERRIBLE LOVE/THE NATIONAL

It’s a terrible love that I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking with
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking with
It’s quiet company
It’s quiet company

It’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking in
It’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking in
It’s quiet company
It’s quiet company
It’s quiet company

And I can’t fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes awhile to settle down
My ship of hopes
Wait 'til the past lets by

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
Company
It’s quite company
It’s quiet company

But I won’t follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would but then I saw
Your shivered bones
They didn’t want me to

It’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking here
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking with spiders
It’s a terrible love that I’m walking here

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BLASPHEMOUS RUMOURS/DEPECHE MODE

Girl of 16
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
16 candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god's got a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god's got a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

Girl of 18
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell from her mother's eye

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god's got a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that god's got a sick sense of humour
And when I die I expect to find him laughing

ALBUM: SOME GREAT REWARD (1984)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN/PIXIES

There was a guy
An underwater guy who controlled the sea
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
From New York and New Jersey

This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven

The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole
Now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold
Everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns
I'll get mine too

This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
Rock me Joe

If man is five
If man is five
If man is five
Then the devil is six
Then the devil is six
Then the devil is six
And if the devil is six
Then god is seven
Then god is seven
Then god is seven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven
This monkey's gone to heaven

ALBUM: DOOLITTLE (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL CATS ARE GREY/THE CURE

I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home

In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on

ALBUM: FAITH (1981)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FINO ALL'ULTIMO/CARMEN CONSOLI

Sopporterei ciò che più mi offende
Assisto a quei gesti guidati dalla tua stupidità
Sopporterei ciò che più mi uccide
Saprei restare comunque fedele a me stessa

Viscidi sorrisi non riscaldano
Tra bene e male ho già deciso
In fondo sai che le apparenze non m’ingannano
Mi hai soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio

Facile risponderti che
Puoi prenderti tutto quello che vuoi
Mi hai soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Hai soltanto sprecato il tuo nobile fiato

Sopporterei ciò che più mi offende
Saprei restare comunque fedele a me stessa

Viscidi sorrisi non riscaldano
Tra bene e male ho già deciso
In fondo sai che le apparenze non m’ingannano
Mi hai soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio

Facile risponderti che
Puoi prenderti tutto quello che vuoi
Mi hai soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio

Mi hai soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Soltanto strappato un po’ di silenzio
Hai soltanto sprecato il tuo nobile fiato

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PETER PAN R.I.P./KULA SHAKER

Gather round this is the thumbstone
Of Peter Pan R.I.P.
Say a prayer for all the children
Everyone that still believes
Peter Pan R.I.P

Clear leaves
From his resting place
Chase the crows cross the street
Let the sun warm his bleeding heart
Boy you meant so much to me
Peter Pan R.I.P

Peter Pan he wont come back
They chained his feet and broke his back
Come crying
Remember the days
Crying sweet tears of joy
Remember the days
The games that we played

Now you know this is no fairytale
His grave is there for all to see
Gather round all good children
Gather round in memories
Peter Pan R.I.P

Peter Pan
Don’t look back
They clipped your wings and chained you back
Come crying
Remember the days
Crying sweet tears of joy
Remember the days
The games that we played

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: INSIDE ALL THE PEOPLE/PLANET FUNK

Inside all the people
A jet-black spark
Rippling like magma
In their hearts
Under all the hot lights
And gyroscopes
Physically pulsing
As they shake their bones

Feeling kinda lonely
With the vodka and coke
Feeling kinda lonely
Underneath the strobe
I was
Feeling kinda lonely

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor

Inside all the people
An onyx flame
Flickering and rising
Into their brains
Smothered in a blue light
Covered in a noise
Occilating girls
Occilating boys

Feeling kinda lonely
With the vodka and coke
Feeling kinda lonely
Underneath the strobe
I was
Feeling kinda lonely

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Make my real life melt into the floor

Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor
Boys are shaking
Girls are rotating
Make my real life melt into the floor

ALBUM: NON ZERO SUMNESS (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GAS PANIC!/OASIS

What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray panic is on the way

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give another chance?
An hour to sing for his soul

'Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
You better get on your knees and pray panic is on the way

'Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
You better get on your knees and pray
Panic is on the way

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PLANET EARTH/DURAN DURAN

Only came outside to watch night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme like
Some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see you're right some other time love

Look now look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

My head is stuck on something precious let me know
If you're coming down to land is there
Anybody out there trying to get through
My eyes so cloudy I can't see you

Look now look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

Look now look all around
There's no sign of life
Voices another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HIGHER THAN REASON/UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH

Diretto da RINGAN LEDWIDGE

The shrine is located
In the front room of the house
For some unknown reason
It's been neglected for too long
You claim its not a problem
But I take it all so hard
So when is it a problem
If you push it all so far?

Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere
Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere

My soul is defended
By the will to stay alive
For some unknown reason
I cant keep that will for long
It all needs rebuilding
And my hands are scratched and scarred
So when is it a problem
If I take it all so hard?

Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere
Higher than reason
There's no reason is nowhere
Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere

If you lived here in my place
Would you eat off my plate
Or throw it aside and curse your ugly fate?

Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere
Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere
Higher than reason
Higher than reason is nowhere

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T LIKE YOU (WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO)/THE WANNADIES

What've we become
Everything we had is gone
For a while I thought we were best of friends
What's on my mind
I used to see you all the time
That's all gone
The fun is gone

You don't like me, I don't like you
What the hell are we supposed to do
Who's to blame this time
I don't like you, you don't like me
Whatever reason you've got I disagree
Who's to blame this time

What's there to say
Don't know the rules, don't like the game
You're a fake I guess so that's all the same
What's with my head
I'm tired can't get out of bed
Something's wrong
The fun is gone

You don't like me, I don't like you
What the hell are we supposed to do
Who's to blame this time
I don't like you, you don't like me
Whatever reason you've got I disagree
Who's to blame this time
Who's to blame this time

ALBUM: YEAH (2000)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LITTLE BY LITTLE/OASIS

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Faded like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little
The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time
I just ask myself why are you really here?

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we gave to you
You know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little
The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time
I just ask myself why are you really here?

Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little
The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time
I just ask myself why are you really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MAP OF THE PROBLEMATIQUE/MUSE

Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over?

Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same?
I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this Loneliness be over?
