LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT'S MY LIFE/TALK TALK

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

ALBUM: IT'S MY LIFE (1984)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FEELING GOOD/MUSE

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the trees
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all out having fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace
When the day is done
And this old world
Is a new world
And a bold world for me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Freedom is mine
When you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me

Feeling good

ALBUM: ORIGIN OF SYMMETRY (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: POINT ME AT LOST ISLANDS/TIRED PONY FEAT. ZOEY DESCHANEL

By the look in your tempting eyes
You've had enough of these angry skies
I can't wait just like you can't wait
Until we're out past the million gates
Your hands are freezing cold on my face
Just like the winter snow that covers up this place

It's what you wrote in the book's first page
It's what I've hungered for on this stage
The seven worshippers lie back in
So let's just run till we lose our breath

Point me at lost islands
Point me at the sea
I'd love to know the sound
Of nothing else but you

You found the life in me I don't know
Where to go so long but here we are
Standing face-to-face and suddenly
Everything makes sense at least to me

ALBUM: THE PLACE WE RAN FROM (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT'S NOT UP TO YOU/BJÖRK

I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying to get an angle
'Cause the evening
I've always longed for
It could still happen

How do I master
The perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls

If you leave it alone
It might just happen
Anyway

It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you

If you wake up
And the day feels broken
Just lean into the crack
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there

I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are

It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh, me, share
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, it never really was
It's not up to you
Well, it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you

There's too much clinging to peak
There's too much pressure

ALBUM: VESPERTINE (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AFTER GLOW/FOALS

I know I could not have lasted very long at all
Without you here to break my fall
I know I could not stand alone for very long
Without you there to take my coat
'Cause you were better than whatever came before
Before you ran out and left me on the 100th floor

Get out and go and find everyone who cared for you
They won't be there to see you tomorrow
Get out, don't forget everything you cared for
For it won't be nothing more tomorrow

No I could not do the things I did before
Leave you waiting there by that open door
You were better than whatever came before
Without you here and my heart broken to the core

Get out and go and find everyone who cared for you
They won't be there to see you tomorrow
Get out, don't forget everything you cared for
For it won't be nothing more tomorrow

No I could not stand to be alone for long
There's something missing in the ever after glow
You were better than whatever came before
Without you here to save me
To save me from the dark

Get out and go and find everyone who cared for you
They won't be there to see you tomorrow
Get out, don't forget everything you cared for
For it won't be nothing more tomorrow

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: P-MACHINERY/PROPAGANDA

Motor
Power, force, motion, drive
Power, force, motion, drive
Power, force, motion, drive
Power, force, motion, drive
Propaganda

On joyless lanes we walk in lines
A calm but steady flow
Accompanied by loud commands
Our strength is running low

Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish the marrying of lies
Today comes true what common sense denies

Rotating wheels of destiny
Inflame the city lights
Machines call out for followers
Far out into the night
The calls of the machines
Drowning in the steam

Another hope feeds another dream
Another truth installed by the machine
A secret wish the marrying of lies
Today you find is true what common sense denies

The calls of the machines
Drowning in the steam

On joyless lanes we walk in lines
A calm but steady flow
Our strength is running low
Another hope
Another dream
Another truth
Installed by the machine
Installed by the machine

ALBUM: A SECRET WISH (1985)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: COME UNDONE/DURAN DURAN

Mine immaculate dream
Made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you
Was created for you.

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart to pieces

It'll take a little time
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

Words playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune
I swear I've heard before
Chill is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart to pieces


Lost in a snow filled sky
We'll make it alright
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ONE ARMED SCISSOR/AT THE DRIVE-IN

Yes this is a campaign
Slithered entrails In the cargo bay
Neutered is the vastness
Hallow vacuum check the oxygen tanks
They hibernate but have they kissed the ground
Pucker up and kiss the asphalt now
Tease this amputation splintered larynx
It has access now

Cut Away, cut away
Send transmission to the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away

Banked on memory
Mummified circuitry
Skin graft, machinery
Sputnik sickles found in the seats
Self-destruct sequence
This station is non-operational
Species growing
Bubbles in an IV loitering
Unknown origin
Is this the comfort of being afraid?
Solar eclipsed
Black out the vultures as they wait
Unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown

Cut Away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away

Dissect a trillion sighs away
Will you get this letter?
Jagged pulp sliced in my veins
I write to remember
Cause I'm a million miles away
Will you get this letter?
Jagged pulp sliced in my veins
I write to remember
I write to remember
I write to remember

Cut Away, cut away
Send transmission to the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Send transmission from the one-armed scissor
Cut away, cut away
Cut away, cut away

POST-IT: INTERPOL/LIGHTS VIDEO

Sul sito ufficiale degli Interpol è disponibile, in download gratuito ed in alta qualità, il video di Lights, diretto da Charlie White.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LEIF ERIKSON/INTERPOL

She says It helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night
She swears I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke why should I care?
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time teach each other to reciprocate

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves
But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I'm just prey for the female
Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes 'cause I like to get hooked
The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight
All the people that you've loved they're all bound to leave some keepsakes
I've been swinging all the time think it's time to learn your way
I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok
I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It's like learning a new language
You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me

She says brief things her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
She says brief things her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

ALBUM: TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HONKY'S LADDER/THE AFGHAN WHIGS

Got you where I want you, motherfucker
I got five up on your dime
And if you wanna peep on something
Peep what I got stuck between your eyes
And since I don't believe a word you say
Save it for another baby brother
Swallow time to pay

Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
But wait 'till I get done with you
If you tell me
Don't get mixed up with the devil
That's exactly what I'm gonna do

Caught you while you waited
For your boy to come
And fix you up again
Come a little closer baby
I only wanna try to be your friend

Since I ain't got nothing left to lose
Got you where I want you
Motherfucker don't you try to move


Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake that ladder like I could

So I wait
And I wait
And I wait
And I wait

Up on the ladder they sing how high?
Does a brother have to climb to touch the light
Won't you take me up there with you?
You said you would
No one ever could shake that ladder like I could

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I FOUGHT THE LAW/THE CLASH

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I left my baby and it feels so sad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

ALBUM: THE CLASH (US Version) (1977)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PRICE YOU PAY/UNKLE

No one can tell me just why it is
That it always has to come to this

Fix it up
Throw it away
I don't get it
The price you pay

Makes no sense no matter what you say
What sticks inside ain't gonna fade away

Fix it up
Throw it away
I don't care
It's the price you pay

I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away

You say don't pay
You say don't pay

Too high, too low

I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away
I'm falling away

You say don't pay
You say don't pay
You say don't pay
You say don't pay

Falling away
Falling away
Falling away
Falling away
Falling away
Falling away
Falling away
Falling away

ALBUM: WAR STORIES (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CRIMINAL/FIONA APPLE

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand
But I keep living this day like the next will never come
Help me but don't tell me to deny it
I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high so I'm begging you
Before it ends just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

POST-IT: LOOKING UP/EELS

Primo assaggio, in download gratutito, del nuovo album degli Eels, Tomorrow Morning, in uscita il prossimo 24 agosto.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: READY TO START/ARCADE FIRE

Businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
And I guess I'll just begin again
You say can we still be friends

If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But to bow down to them anyway
Is better than to be alone

If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now you're knocking at my door
Saying please come out against the night
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I'll just begin again
You say can we still be friends

If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now I'm ready to start
If I was scared, I would
And if I was pure, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

Now I'm Ready to Start
Now I'm Ready to Start
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
Now I'm ready to start
My mind is open wide
And now I'm ready to start
You know I'm sure you're open the door
And step out into the dark
Now I'm ready

ALBUM: THE SUBURBS (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PARTING OF THE SENSORY/MODEST MOUSE

There's no work in walking and it fueled the talk
I would grab my shoes and then away I'd walk
Through all the stubborn beauty I'd start at the dawn
Until the sun had fully stopped never walking away from
Just a way to pull apart
Dehydrate back into minerals
A life long walk to the same exact spot

Carbon's anniversary
The parting of the sensory
Just part of the game if you please
Carbon's anniversary

Who the hell made you the boss?
We placed our chips in all the right spots but still lost
Any shithead who had ever walked
Could take this ship and do a much finer job
This fit like clothes made out of wasps
Fuck it I guess I lost

The parting of the sensory
Carbon's anniversary
Old, old news to read
The parting of the sensory

Who the hell made you the boss?
We placed our chips in all the right spots but still lost
If you were the ship who would ever get on?
The weather changed and for the worse
It came down on us like it had been rehearsed
Not like you hoped but change will surely come
And be awful for most but really good for some
I took a trip to the exact same spot
We'd pulled the trigger but we forgot to cock every single shot
Fuck it, I guess we lost

Some day you will die and somehow something's going to steal your carbon
Some day you will die and somehow something's going to steal your carbon
Some day you will die somehow and something's going to steal your carbon
Some day you will die and someone or something will steal your carbon
Some day something will die and somehow you'll figure out how often
You will die somehow and something's going to steal your carbon
Something will die and you will probably just steal its carbon
Some day you will die somehow and something's going to steal your carbon

ALBUM: WE WERE DEAD BEFORE THE SHIP EVEN SANK (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: A FOOLISH ARRANGEMENT/THE CURE

Christabel strips and slips like a dream
Breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain
Disdain, she throws her head
And glides against the stream
Throwing me her bravest smile
Defiant, glittering, shivering guile
Catching a cold is quick this time
But fish?
Fish may take a while

Christabel dips and slips from me
And hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free
Triumphant, reluctantly
Struggling six legs held up for me to see
Don't be so scared
It's nothing new
It's the same old game
Only fun with two
But fast and over and over
I can`t play this game with you

Everything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouthed and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always will

Christabel trips and grips my hand
But never to be saved
For a second I understand
And I fall with her
I'll never leave you
Love you
See you change into the man I want
But it's not for long this thing
It's not for long

Everything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouthed and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always will
Everything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouthed and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always will

ALBUM: A LETTER TO ELISE (Single) (1992)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NO I IN THREESOME/INTERPOL

Through the storms and the light
Babe you've stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
Sound meets sound babe
The echoes they sorround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow?
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three

And baby tonight
I see your lips are on fire
And life is wine
Now the windows are open the moon is so bright
There's no one can tell us what love brings
You and I
Sound meets sound babe
Her echoes they surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three tonight
Through the storms and the light
Baby, you've stood by my side
And life is wine
You feel the sweet breath of time
It's whispering its truth not mine
There's no I in threesome

And I am all for it
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight
Babe it's time we give something new a try
Alone we may fight
So just let us be three tonight

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ROCK STAR/HOLE

When I went to school in Olympia
Everyone's the same
What do you do with a revolution?
When I went to school in Olympia
And everyone's the same
We look the same
We talk the same
Don't you please
Make me real, fuck you
Make me sick, fuck you
Make me real, fuck you

When I went to school in Olympia
Everyone's the same
And so are you in Olympia
Everyone's the same
We look the same
We talk the same
We even fuck the same
When I went to school in Olympia
Don't you please
Make me real, come on
Make me sick, come on
Make me real

Do it for the kids
Do it for the kids
Do it for the kids
Do it for the kids
No we're not done

When I went to school in Olympia

ALBUM: LIVE THROUGH THIS (1994)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RIVER OF BRAKELIGHTS/JULIAN CASABLANCAS

We might be in for a late night
Stuck in a lava flow of brakelights
I can hear a rattling bass drum
Driving back to where it came from
Sit back
I shop therefore I am the cause
Protect me from what I was

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Timing is everything, timing is everything

I'm at your feet where creditors meet
We'll sho me a super night crossing roads or highways
In the afterlife of supercities
Rapidly devouring its outskirts
Redecorating late at night

No bad time for kids who hate sports
Mothers crying at the airport
Finding the dreams you left behind to do
Waving goodbye your young heart cries for you
Sit back
You're finding it out to get very far
We were born waiting alive
Grabbing the future by the eyes

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, timing is everything
Timing the hang of it, getting is everything
Getting the time of it, everything hangs on this
Hanging the getting of, timing the getting of

Like bodies we die
Like rivers we dry
We fuel and recharge the chimers and doors
Myself, myself
Lead my homeward bound
Where did you go?
You were my ride home
Is that what we want?
Is everything shot?
Is that what you ask for?
'Cause that's what we got

Love is destined
Love is there still

ALBUM PHRAZES FOR THE YOUNG (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OUR LIFE IS NOT A MOVIE OR MAYBE/OKKERVIL RIVER

It’s just a bad movie
Where there’s no crying
Handing the keys to me
In this Red Lion
Where the lock that you locked in the suite says there’s no prying
When the breath that you breathed in the street screams there’s no science
When you look how you looked then to me then I cease lying
And fall into silence

It’s just a life story
So there’s no climax
No more new territory
So pull away the IMAX
In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness
In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity
No fade in film begins on a kid in the big city
And no cut to a costly parade that’s for him only
No dissolve to a sliver of grey that’s his new lady
Where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie
Hey, I'd watch it

It’s just a house burning
But it’s not haunted
It was your heart hurting
But not for too long kid
In the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking
From the speakers your fake masterpiece comes serenely dribbling
When the air around your chair fills with heat that’s the flames licking
Beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece it’s got a calm clicking
Like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching
Up some bad movie

ALBUM: THE STAGE NAMES (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MERCY IN YOU/DEPECHE MODE

You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you

I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you

I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you
The mercy in you

When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you

I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
The mercy in you
The mercy in you
The mercy in you

Nel frattempo, in vista del tour internazionale che sta per prendere il via, entrano a far parte del gruppo il bassista Dave Pajo (ex Tortoise e Zwan), che sostituisce il dimissionario Carlos Dengler (il quale ha comunque preso parte alla registrazione del nuovo disco, prima di lasciare), ed il tastierista dei Secret Machines, Brandon Curtis.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MYSTIFY/BECK'S RECORD CLUB

All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Broken hearts behind
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

I need perfection
Some twisted selection
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they kiss you every night
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
They kiss you every night
All veils
And misty streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine

Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me
Mystify
Mystify me

You're eternally wild
Make a, make a...
And they kiss you every night

All veils
And misty streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
We're leaving
Broken hearts behind

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GAMES FOR DAYS/JULIAN PLENTI

In your eyes
I am magnified
I peep your sides
I do fantasize
I make your mind
And pretend that you've lied
I take it all the way
I take it all the way
'Cause you taste just like the river

Baby you've played my heart
But the way that you've played it was art

Games for days
Where did you find them?
Games all day

In your eyes
I'd be televised
Great big lies
As the vulture flies
I meditate to grow wise
I declassify
I take it all the way
I take it all the way
'Cause you taste just like the others

Baby you've played my heart
But the way that you've played it was art

You played my heart today
But the way you played it was art

Games for days
Where did you find them?
Games all day
We're thankful to find them
Games all day
Help me to shine them
Play all day
I won't let the party die

'Cause this is how we learn
(This is amazing)
This is how we learn
(This is amazing)
This is how we learn

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHE MAKES MY NOSE BLEED/MANSUN

She makes me bleed
She makes me cry
She makes me sneeze
She makes me sigh
So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven

My only number must be, must be
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

She makes me bleed
Don't know her name
She makes me freeze
She's in my face
So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven
Bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven

My only number must be, must be
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down
Bring her on down from heaven

My only number must be, must be
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
Don't know her name
Don't know what she's done
Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

ALBUM: ATTACK OF THE GREY LANTERN (1996)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEMORIZE THE CITY/THE ORGAN

Darkness filled the sky as pools of water filled your eyes
They sparkled like phosphorescence in the bay
Although our lips barely touched
I have never felt so much
And I'd really like to feel that way again
When?

I walk through the streets and memorize the city
I count every light until I reach the shore
Sometimes I close my eyes and you're not very pretty
Sometimes I can't believe I've had those thoughts before

We pulled a boat down to the dock and stole two sturdy oars
I pushed you off into the dark
Acrisius favours and from above the great abyss
You threw pennies in and wished for the feeling of wanting nothing more

I walk through the streets and memorize the city
I count every light until I reach the shore
Sometimes I close my eyes and you're not very pretty
Sometimes I can't believe I've had those thoughts before

Sometimes I close my eyes
And hope that I can keep away all the darkened skies

ALBUM: GRAB THAT GUN (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHITE LIPS KISSED/MEW

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Why did you not include me on your list?
Let me in through the ceiling
White lips kissed

Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go
Always

I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall

Things that are supposed to mean lots
Leave you cold
And with a malady of the soul

Our love is a tricky love
Bet you know this
Bet you noticed
Bet you know, which is why

I should know better than anyone ever could
Soon as I let go
Everything falls apart

I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
It's a shame and as you know
The stain will not go

ALBUM: AND THE GLASS HANDED KITES (2005)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ANYONE'S GHOST/THE NATIONAL

Say you stay at home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

You said I came close
As anyone has come
To live underwater
For more than a month
You said it was not inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
Told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost

ALBUM: HIGH VIOLET (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RIHNESTONE EYES/GORILLAZ

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky
When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines till they weep
With future pixels in factories far away
So call the mainland from the beach
All parties now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet
Like future pixels in factories far away

I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the bowses and the growses
Have been abstinated in my soul
I prayed on the immovable yet
Clinging to the atoms of rocks
Seasons the adjustments signs of change
I can't see now she said taxi
Now that light is all I can take
This dawn brings strange loyalties and skies
I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky

Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time everyday same routine
Clear target in the summer when skies are blue
Its part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Natures' corrupted in factories far away

Here we go again
That's electric
Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky
That's electric
We are future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again
That's electric
Your loves' like rhinestones, falling from the sky
That's electric
With future pixels in factories far away
Here we go again

ALBUM: PLASTIC BEACH (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: AS HEAVEN IS WIDE/GARBAGE

Nothing that you say will release you
Nothing that you pray would forgive you
Nothing's what your words mean to me
Something that you did will destroy me
Something that you said will stay with me
Long after you're dead and gone

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here

As far from god
As heaven is wide
As far from god
As angels can fly

If holy is as holy does
This house will burn straight down to hell
Take its conscience with it as it falls
Nothing said could change the fact
My trust was blind, you broke the pact
If god's my witness god must be blind

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here

As far from god
As heaven is wide
As far from god
As angels can fly

I wish

Take it back, I dare you, take it back
No you can't?
You should have thought of that
What's inside a man that goes so wrong
Choke on guilt that's far too good for you
Say one word I'll laugh and bury you
And leave you in the place where you left me

If flesh could crawl
My skin would fall
From off my bones and run away from here

As far from god
As heaven is wide
As far from god
As angels can fly

I wish I could fly
As angels can fly

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LEARNING TO FLY/PINK FLOYD

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reel
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension, that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo
Avapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation
A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I
