LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: VIOLET/HOLE
And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars look just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no
Might last a day
Minus forever
Might last a day
Well, minus forever
When they get what they want
They never want it again
When they get what they want
They never want it again
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
Take everything I want you to
And the sky was all violet
I want it again, but violent, more violent
Well, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I dare you to
I told you from the start
Just how this would end
When I get what I want
I never want it again
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on, take everything
Take everything
I want you to
Go on take everything
Take everything
Take everything
Take everything

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEMORY SERVES/INTERPOL
It would be so nice to take you
I only ever try to make you smile
No matter what we're gonna keep you occupied
But only at your place
Only at your place
It would be no price to pay
I only ever lie to make you smile
All kinds of dust are gonna keep me satisfied
But only at your place
Only at your place
Tonight a special memory serves me
And I'll wait to find the wrong way
Tonight a special memory serves me
And I'll wait to find
It's over
It's over
You like it
It's over
Why is it so hard to stay away?
Why is it so hard
Tonight a special memory serves me
And I'll wait to find that I'm gray
Tonight is special
I only memorize those fakes I deny
And I hold them while I sing
Seize the day
Don't have to say that you'd love to
But they'd be pleased that you want to
Someday
It would be no price to pay
It would be no price to pay
Don't have to say that you'd love to
But they'd be pleased that you want to
Someday
Dont have to say that you'd love to
But they'd be pleased that you want to
Someday
Dont have to say that you'd love to
But they'd be pleased that you want to

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HIGH AND DRY/AMANDA PALMER
Two jumps in a week
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy
Flyin' on your motorcycle
Watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition
Kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror
You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation
You will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
When you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you've ever had
The best thing you've had has gone away
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNDER THE GOD/TIN MACHINE
Skin dance back-a-the condo
Skinheads getting to school
Beating on blacks with a baseball bat
Racism back in rule
While trash picking up nazi flags
While you was gone there was war
This is the west get used to it
They put a swastika over the door
Under the God
Under the God
One step over the red line
Under the God
Under the God
Ten steps into the craze
Washington heads in the toilet bowl
Don't see supremicist hate
Right wing dicks in their boiler suits
picking out who to annihilate
Toxic jungle of Uzi trails
Tribesmen just wouldn't live here
Fascist flare is fashion cool
Well, you're dead, you just ain't buried yet
Under the God
Under the God
Under the God
Under the God
As the walls came tumbling down
So the secrets that we shared
I believed you by the palace gates
Now the savage days are here
Under the God
Under the God
Under the God
One step over the red line
Under the God
Under the God
Ten steps into the craze
Crazy eyed man with a shot gun
Hot headed creep with a knife
Love and peace and harmony
Love you could cut with a life
Under the God
Under the God

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SUBURBS/ARCADE FIRE
In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban world
your part of town gets minor
So you're standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screaming
And running through the yard
When all of the walls that they built in the 70's finally fall
And all of the houses they build in the 70's finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all
It meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask
If it's too much to ask
Then send me a son
Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement
And into the grass
'Cause it's already past
It's already, already past
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
And in my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE USED TO WAIT/ARCADE FIRE
I used to write
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain
I'm gonna write a letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
Sometimes it never came
Sometimes it never came
Still moving through the pain
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait
We used to wait for
We used to wait for
Now we're screaming sing the chorus again
We used to wait for
We used to wait for
Now we're screaming sing the chorus again
I used to wait for
I used to wait for
Hear my voice screaming sing the chorus again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BARRICADE/INTERPOL
I did not take to analysis so I had to make up my mind
And hold it for a while
I would not just leave you without a kiss
But I guess there must come a time
And there is no more tears to cry
Thieves and snakes need homes, need homes
Barricades
It starts to feel like a barricade that keep us away
Keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade to keep us away
Keep us away
I could not lean on the politics
cause I did't want to train my eye
To hold so short a time
Oh so high, just don't know where
The blind could lead the sightless
but I still like to witness
thieves and snakes need homes, need homes
Barricades
It starts to feel like a barricade that keep us away
Keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade to keep us away
Keep us away
Full speed half blind
Full tilt decline
We turn to past times
Full speed half blind
You know us, you know us
Say I'm sorry
Sometimes it feel like a barricade that keep us away
Keep us away, it kind of does
It starts to feel like a barricade to keep us away
Keep us away you know us
Full speed half blind
Full tilt decline
we turn to past times
Full speed half blind
full speed half blind
Full tilt decline
Onto all time full speed half blind

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE/TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS
She grew up in a Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said: "I dig you, baby
But I got to keep movin' on
Keep movin' on"
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again
Well, I don't know but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down
Tired of myself, tired of this town
Oh, my my
Oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come
'Cause I can't stay long
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again
There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standing in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be coming soon
Oh, my my
Oh, hell yes
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number
I walked to the road
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MAQUILADORA/RADIOHEAD
Here it comes, here it comes
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful kids into beautiful trouble
Well it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh, baby burn
Fast Toyota, burns rubber
Useless rockers from England
Good times had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your conscience
Blue and white birds stepping hard on the pedal
Interstate 5 runs straight down the middle
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh, baby burn

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: QUI/ANTONELLO VENDITTI
Valle Giulia ancora brilla la luna
E Paola prende la mia mano
Caduta per sbaglio sui nostri vent'anni
Tesi come coltelli
Come fratelli
Perduti forse qui
Architettura
Albe cinesi di seta indiana
Sarà il profumo di questa città
Sarà la musica che viene da lontano
Sarà l'estate che brucia nelle vene
Sarà il passato che ancora mi appartiene
Adesso tu sei qui
Abbandonata
Come se non mi avessi mai lasciato
Né mai tradito
Sarà la musica che viene e va
Sarà il profumo di questa città
Sarà l'estate che spalanca le sue braccia
Sui nostri corpi come fosse una minaccia
Adesso, adesso
Sarà il profumo di questa città
Sarà la musica che viene da lontano
Sarà l'estate che spalanca le sue braccia
Sui nostri corpi come fosse una minaccia
Adesso siamo qui
Abbandonati
Coi nostri ricordi dentro le mani
Per sempre qui

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOVE IS LOVE/CULTURE CLUB
You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere that you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me
You don't have to touch it to be
Wrapped up in emotion like me
Everyone must feel how I do, yeah
Love is just to be close to you
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me
And you know that love is love
It's written in black and blue
And everything you say
Must bring her closer, closer to you
You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere that you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do

Amanda Palmer, voce dei Dresden Dolls, ha pubblicato un album di cover di brani dei Radiohead, suonati principalmente con l'ukulele... altro che vuvuzelas!
La copertina del disco, poi, realizzata in stile hawaiano anni '50, è davvero uno spasso.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SUMMER WELL/INTERPOL
You feel the plastics that seal your body
They won't stop this rain
I was your eye in the night when the prophets fell
I said it looks like you'll summer well
I want to stay magical
I want to stay yearning
I want to feel up on your life
I miss you but it looks like you summered well
All the while the protest will shine the same
But you will never notice
It's alright
I rely on the process the mind will frame
They will never take this dream from me
It's alright (I'll take you back)
It's alright
It's all the way behind us
It's alright
I miss you babe
I want you back
The signs we gave
Weren't those signs supposed to last
The rainy days
The sun was back
The signs we gave
So what was that
You know that we have ways
To make the seasons touch these words
So let me take this
Cover your eyes or go
Wait until it fades
All the while the protest will shine the same
But you will never notice
It's alright
I rely on the process the mind will frame
They will never take this dream from me
It's alright
(You sent me)
It's alright
(You sent me)
It's alright

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FRETLESS/R.E.M.
He's got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I don't hate him
And I don't hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with an EAC
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
Don't threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Don't try to tell me what I am
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MYSTICAL MACHINE GUN/KULA SHAKER
Everybody stay calm
Don't panic
It's just the end of the world
Alien identities
Don't hide your pretty face from me
You awoke to the riddle of your life
But no one was there for you
Open up to where you first began
As a nicotine junkie singing
For a kodacam
Are you glad to see how far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard
A mystical machine gun
Watch the skies
For the mystical machine gunfire
Alien identities
Don't hide that special place from me
You walked through a fire with a ten headed lion
And turned on your destiny
Open up, forget your life
Breathe in, breathe out
Retain a sense of suicide
Are you glad to see
How far you've come?
You're a wizard in a blizzard
A mystical machine gun
Watch the skies
For the mystical machine gunfire
Well you've got to be stronger now than them
Now you've got to be strong
You'll be singing the song of life 'til then
You'll just got to be strong
Mystical machine gunfire
Om Namah Shivaya
Everybody stay calm
Don't panic
Mystical machine gunfire
It's just the end of the world
It will be all right at all
Every all kid just sing
Mystical machine gunfire

See the great white scar
Over Battery Park
Then a flare glides over
But I won't look at that scar
Oh, my nuclear baby
Oh, my idiot trance
All my idiot questions
Let's face the music and dance
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
I'll never say I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you
All the corners of the buildings
Who but we remember these?
The sidewalks and trees
I'm thinking now
I got a better way
I discovered a star
I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way
A new killer star
I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way
The stars in your eyes
I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way
I discovered a star
I got a better way
Ready, set, go
See my life in a comic
Like the way they did the bible
With the bubbles and action
The little details in colour
First a horseback bomber
Just a small thin chance
Like seeing Jesus on dateline
Let's face the music and dance
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you
All the corners of the buildings
Who but we remember these?

I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way
A new killer star
I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way

I got a better way
Ready, set, go
I got a better way
I discovered a star
I got a better way
Ready, set, go

Diretto da CHRIS CUNNINGHAM
You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it
Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at
Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you
All is full of love
You just ain't receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
Be the little angel
All is full of love, all is full of love
All is full of love, all is full of love

Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Over the western world shadows fall
Under the kind and dying trees we call
Together still the feel the breeze
To shatter all these waking dreams we've told
Ourselves to keep us free and clean
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
There is a love that sleeps inside
The canyons of our deepest dreaming lives
A shelter that cannot be lost
A name that is so deep and so far across
I know you that you know me
Your life is like a bolt of lightning seen
Across the sky so high and clean
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine
Over the western world shadows fall
Under the kind and dying trees we call
Together still the feel the breeze
To shatter all these waking dreams we've told
Ourselves, ourselves
Ourselves, ourselves
Heaven and earth are mine says I
Heaven and earth are mine says I

Last night I dreamt when we were young
Out in the fields I saw you run
Trouble in mind
Trouble in soul
Won’t you let your feelings go
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I had to
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I did
I took a walk down your old street
Down past the places we used to meet
Trouble in mind
Trouble in souls
Won’t you let your feelings go
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I had to
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I did
Your father’s house never felt so cold
What once was new now over grown
Oh pharaoh, oh pharaoh
Won’t you let your children go
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I had to
I didn’t mean to disappoint you
I’m just sorry that I did

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE MERCY SEAT/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS
It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in death row
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know
And I'll say it again
I am not afraid to die
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die
Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
The walls are bad, black, bottom kind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath gathering at my hind
I hear stories from the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
Like my good hand I
tatooed evil across it's brother's fist
That filthy five
They did nothing to challenge or resist
In heaven his throne is made of gold
The ark of his testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold
Down here it's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And god is never far away
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like the moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
So I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied
My kill-hand is called evil
Wears a wedding band that's good
`Tis a long suffering shackle
Collaring all that rebel blood
And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this weighing up of truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
Nor a motive why
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof
A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this looks of disbelief
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm not afraid to die
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm afraid I told a lie

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CONVERSATION 16/THE NATIONAL
I think the kids are in trouble
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Live on coffee and flowers
Try not to worry what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything
It's a Hollywood summer
You never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
I'm a confident liar
Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PLAY WITH FIRE/ROLLING STONES
Well, you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes
And the chauffeur drives your car
You let everybody know
But don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your mother she's an heiress owns a block in Saint John's Wood
And your father'd be there with her
If he only could
So don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamond's and tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stepney
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Well you've got some diamonds and you will have some others
But you'd better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother
So don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
So don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BEAT THE DEVIL'S TATTOO/BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
You have forsaken all the love you’ve taken
Sleeping on a razor there’s nowhere left to fall
Your body’s aching, every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on
Your soul is able, death is all you cradle
Sleeping on the nails there’s nowhere left to fall
You have admired every man desires
Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn
There is no peace here, war is never cheap here
Love will never need it, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids and let your demons run
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
