LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FIRST LOVE NEVER DIE/SOKO




Diretto da Soko e Matthew Gray Gubler

I feel like walking
Do you feel like coming
I feel like talking
'Cause it's been a long time

Now your hair is long
And you look so thin
You're always so pale
but something has changed
You're almost a man

Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die

Long time
No see long time
Wondering what you were doing
Who you were seeing
I wish i could go back to it

I feel like walking
Do you feel like coming
I feel like crying
'Cause it's been a long time

Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die
Four years and I still cry sometimes
First love never die

Can you feel the same
I will never love again
Can you feel the same
I will never love again
Can you feel the same
I will never love again
Can you feel the same
I will never love again
Can you feel the same
I will never love again
Can you feel the same
I will never love again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: X-RAY/THE MACCABEES





She's the fluter in my heart
The spring thats in my step
My empty head
Sees the lump build in my throat
The view in my minds eye
My empty heart, heart, heart, heart
My heart, heart, heart, heart

She's got her a suspicions
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
Romantic Intution
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
She's got x-ray vision
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
Sees through me with her
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray vision

Sees me shifting in my seat
It's a practical upbeat
My empty head
See the tongue kept in my cheek my conscience leak
My empty heart, heart, heart, heart
my heart, heart, heart, heart

She's got her a suspicions
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
Romantic Intution
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
She's got x-ray vision
(X-ray, x-ray, x-ray, x-ray)
Sees through me with her
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray vision
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray
X-ray vision

And with this power
She can see
Through solid objects
Like you and me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I BELIEVE/ALL I NEED TO KNOW//DURAN DURAN





The taxman's in the pocketbook
The pressmen are by the bar
And all the world is at your door
It's strange that you should lock it up
And preach an open heart
But you know what they're waiting for

You can turn your face away
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
To walk away

I was tempted by the devil
In his deep blue swimming pool
Until the devil's make up ran
And my future's in the strangle hold
Of ever changing rules
I don't intend to understand

You can stop pretending now
That I had you fooled
I'm still the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
To paralyze my soul
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go
And walk away

You can turn your face away
And don't think twice
I'm just the ordinary guy you used to know
I'm not after your money
Or even your advice
I believe you'll follow me
It's all I need to know
Promise me you'll try to understand before I go

All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know
All I need to, all I need to, all I need to know

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BLACK WHITE & BLUE/LADYHAWKE





Time is never easy when you're alone
Your mother, she always told you to hold your own
'Cause this is your life, oh no
You can't fight it, oh no
'Cause this is your life

On and on through the night
In the Milky Way
Is black and white and blue, for you
Now we let the way you cry
For always be black and white and blue, for you

Life inside your head has come undone
Your son, he said two manners has just begun
But this is your life, oh no
You can't fight it, oh no
'Cause this is your life

On and on through the night
In the Milky Way
Is black and white and blue, for you
Now we let the way you cry
For always be black and white and blue, for you

Waking from a strange dream
Spinning 'cause you had too much last night
No communication
Wondering if you ever feel allright
But this is your life, oh no
You can't fight it, oh no
'Cause this is your life

On and on through the night
In the Milky Way
Is black and white and blue, for you
Now we let the way you cry
For always be black and white and blue, for you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MARATHON RUNNER/YELLOW OSTRICH





When I was a boy of seventeen
I know it's mean but I
I told my friend to give up on her dreams
She hated me, but I
I knew that dreams were for the best of us
Not for the rest of us, and I
I didn't want to share with anyone

I need a way to sing the greatest dance
And make them laugh
I could win the wars or lose the battles too
Whichever's true
I can live in other people's lives
I can't stop putting on other people's clothes
I love them 'til I leave

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for
I am a hot air balloon
On a sailboat
I would make this my home
If I'd learned to float

So take my treasures, take my earthly life
I'll try to cry
I will live without the things I love the best
So hold them to your chest
I will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs
The heads of kings
I will run until I know what to believe

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for
I am a hot air balloon
On a sailboat
I would make this my home
If I'd learned to float

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for
I am a hot air balloon
On a sailboat
I would make this my home
If I'd learned to float

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHAKE DOG SHAKE/THE CURE





Wake up in the dark
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall
And cough some more
And scratch my skin with razor blades

And make up in the new blood
And try to look so good
Follow me
Make up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is

As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Spurning sex like an animal of god
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
And hold you blazing
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
Your face
I'll never see you this way again
I captured it so perfectly
As if I knew you'd disappear away

Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake

You hit me again
You howl and hit me again
The same sharp pain
Cuts me in the dark
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
My heart, my shaking heart

Shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake shake shake shake
Shake dog shake

We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And dreamed of death
And breathed like sick dogs
We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And breathed like death
And dreamed of sick dogs

Shake shake
Shake dog shake
Shake shake
Shake dog shake

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Shake dog shake
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Shake dog shake

Make up in the new blood
Shake up in the new blood
Fake up in this new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is
Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake
Shake dog shake

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YEAR OF THE TIGER/ST. VINCENT





When I was young
Coach called me the tiger
I always had
A knack with the danger

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

Italian shoes
Like these rubes know the difference
Suitcase of cash
In the back of my stick shift
I had to be the best of the bourgeoisie
And my kingdom for a cup of coffee

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

Oh America can I owe you one
Oh America can I owe you one
Oh America can I owe you one
Oh America can I owe you one

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I'VE SEEN IT ALL/BJÖRK FEAT. THOM YORKE





I've seen it all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all there is no more to see

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great if the roof doesn't fall
The man you will marry, the home you will share
To be honest, I really don't care

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water
It's water, that's all
The Eiffel Tower
And the Empire State
My pulse was as high
On my very first date
Your grandson's hand
As he plays with your hair
To be honest, I really don't care

I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark
I've seen what I choose and I've seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all there is no more to see

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark the big and the small
Just keep in mind you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all there is no more to see

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WAIT FOR US/MIND SPIDERS





They play and they pay
Walk good get on the feet now
They play and they waste in this
No sense to me, no

You wait for us
You wait in fear now, oh no

They say that they'll change
It will be the same again I know
The time has come
The play of you and him now

You wait for us
You wait in fear now
You wait for us
You wait in fear now, oh no

You wait for us
You wait in fear now
You wait for us
You wait in fear now, oh no

You wait for us, you wait for us

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IN YOUR NATURE (DAVID LYNCH REMIX)/ZOLA JESUS





Eyes above me
Eyes are blown
End now just when the wall becomes a hole
I don't want to know
The ground is shaking
Out of realm
A hunted world
Where it never shows
I don't want to go
I feel it forming
Through the skin
Swallow me whole
Let it bury me in
And there I go

It's coming down
Like a sharp
Curve in the sky
And I don't even know why
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win

It used to be that
The war was brought
But now the end becomes us again
We never let it in
And in the shadows
A burning light
It's getting deeper for the fight
So run off, run off
Let it drip down you
Run off, run off
Like it was born for you
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win

And then you go down that old regarded road
And i'm not the one to say i told you so
And you know
You know
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win
If it's in your nature you'll never win

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STAY KIDS/ANR (AWESOME NEW REPUBLIC)





I left the world of the working man
To be immature and sometimes insecure
I kept my eye on the second hand
Watch the passing time always slowing by
Despite the thought of that hazy life
That we all resist until we're laid to rest
I found a gift in the sacrifice
Of the mammal kind to the world we'll leave behind
Stay young

I climbed the raft from the sinking sand
Made a swift escape in through the flooded gate
I left a record of how we died
For something to find and discover I had failed
Stay young
Stay young
Stay young

We've got the brains
But don't have the bodies to live so fast
We solve the problem
Without the knowledge to make it last
Break out the bottle
The ship is sinking in through the past
The path is deeper
Within the current of a wave
The better years, are they still yet to come?
Get rid of fear and stay young

When all the city is petrified
You'll forget the time you were terrified

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NATIONAL ANTHEM/LANA DEL REY





Money is the anthem of success
So before we go out
What’s your address?

I’m your national anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bacardi fare on

He loves to romance them
Reckless abandon
Holding me for ransom
Upper echelon
He says to be cool but
I don’t know how yet
Wind in my hair
Hand on the back of my neck
I said can we party later on?
He said yes, yes, yes

Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Oh yeah, baby bow down
Making me so wow, wow)
Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town)
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your national anthem

Money is the reason we exist
Everybody knows it, it’s a fact
Kiss, kiss

I sing the national anthem
While I’m standing over your body
Hold you like a python
And you can’t keep your hands off me
Or your pants on
See what you’ve done to me
Give me chevron
You said to be cool but I’m already coolest
You said to get real
Don’t you know who you’re dealing with?
Do you think you’ll buy me lots of diamonds?
(Yes, also a gun)

Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Oh yeah, baby bow down
Making me so wow, wow)
Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town)
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your national anthem

It’s a love story for the new age
For the six page
Want a quick sick rampage?
Wining and dining
Drinking and driving
Excessive buying
Overdosing, dying
On our drugs and our love
and our dreams and our rage
Blurring the lines between real and the fake
Love again lonely
I need somebody to hold me
We will do very well
I can tell, I can tell
Keep my safe in his bell tower hotel

Money is the anthem of success
So put on mascara and your party dress

I’m your national anthem
Boy put your hands up
Give me a standing ovation
Boy you is landing
Babe in the land of sweetness and angel
Queen of Saigon

Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Oh yeah, baby bow down
Making me so wow, wow)
Tell me I’m your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now
Take your body down town)
Red, white, blue’s in the skies
Summer’s in the air and
Baby, heaven’s in your eyes
I’m your national anthem

Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem
God, you’re so handsome
Money is the anthem of success

Do not go expecting
The whole world to simplify
It's you all verse the world now
To be down's to see another side
You have all the strength that you need
You have all the strength that you need
To go on through the dark
Go on through the dark
Go on through the dark

Onward to the open
And the shadows break to morning light
Leave it all of the baggage
All you need's up on the other side
You have all the strength that you need
You have all the strength that you need
To go on through the dark
Go on through the dark
Go on through the dark

On through the dark

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WILL YOU PLEASE SPEND NEW YEARS WITH ME?/ALLO DARLIN'





When I feel kinda like a giant useless slump
Ready to be taken to the rubbish dump
You call me up on your red telephone
Make me happy again and then you have to go
But I've been trying to think positively
About taking up new activities
I'll do yoga and learn chinese
Play accordion and eat my peas

But will you spend new year's eve with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night

Everybody else will be out drinking
But I don't feel like drinking
Do you wanna stay in and hang out with me
We could play some Monopoly
It's embarrassing to think that at 25
I'm not doing something more wild with my life
There's a party over here, a party there
But my favourite party is in my bed

So will you please spend new year's with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night

We can play Nintendo if you'd let me win
But you're super competitive with these things
That's okay, i don't mind, let's make pop-corn
Do you feel like watching Harold and Maude
You're the greatest the friend that I've ever had
I want you to know that i'm grateful for that
I won't let our acquaintance ever be forgot
Happy new year, I love you, you're the best of the lot

So will you please spend new year's with me?
We can hide in my bedroom and watch cartoons all night
