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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FIRST FROST/THE VEILS

You've got your feet on the edge and a fire in your breath
But once the winter has gone will there be anyone left?
Now I can't feel a thing
Weird, I can't feel a thing
But "Oh what a beautiful world"
And "Oh what a wonderful thing"

It's the first frost
First frost
It's the first frost
First frost

I want to swim in the ocean, I want a little cheer
I want to do The Loco-Motion and I want another year
They just want to get to the top so they can shit to the bottom
And if you can't beat 'em baby just fuck 'em, yeah fuck 'em

It's the first frost
First frost
It's the first frost
First frost

It's the first frost
First frost
(It wouldn't be as fun without you with me love, you know)
It's the first frost
First frost
(You wrote my name down in the dirty London snow)
It's the first frost
First frost
(Said I was never much for all this christmas cheer)
It's the first frost
First frost
(Just cross your fingers it's a happy new year)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OTHER VOICES/THE CURE

Ok, non sarà un vero e proprio canto natalizio, ma tra i brani che citano la parola christmas nel testo, è senza dubbio il migliore che abbia mai ascoltato.



Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
Always wrong

Come around at christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
And eight million people
Distant noises
Of other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
So many dead
And all the other voices sing
Change your mind
You're always wrong

ALBUM: FAITH (1981)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LITTLE DRUMMER BOY/THE DANDY WARHOLS

Come, they told me, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
A new born king to see, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
Our finest gift we bring, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
To lay before the king, pa rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum

Little baby, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
To lay before the king, pa rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum

Mary nodded, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
I played my drum for him, pa rum, pum, pum, pum
I played my best for him, pa rum, pum, pum, pum rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum
Rum, pum, pum, pum, rum, pum, pum, pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SMOKERS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL DOORS/EDITORS

Pull the blindfold down
So your eyes can't see
Now run as fast as you can
Through this field of trees

Say goodbye to everyone
You have ever known
You are not gonna see them ever again

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?

How can we wear our smiles
With our mouths wide shut
'Cause you stopped us from singin'

I can't shake this feeling I've got
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
Were smokers outside the hospital doors

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Left smashed off the floor

I can't believe you
If I can't hear you
I can't believe you
If I can't hear you

We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor
We've all been changed
From what we were
Our broken parts
Smashed off the floor

Someone turn me around
Can I start this again?
Now someone turn us around
Can we start this again?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHE CAME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS/MEW

Don't touch her there
She's blindfolded
She remembers on the bus
Into my heart, don't remember
Like you left us, without notice
Now you've come back
Like you left us, like you owe us
Into my heart

It's not me
It can't be
It's not you
I can't do what I do if it's you
This is not happening

Don't touch her there
She told me
She remembers how it felt
Into my heart, don't remember
Like you left us, without notice

It's not me
It can't be
It's not you
I can't do what I do if it's you
This is not happening

Come home
Come home

It's not me
It can't be
It's not you
I can't do what i do if it's you
This is not happening

It's not me
It can't be
It's not you
I cant' do what I do if we're through
This is not happening

Don't touch her there
He watched her
She knew his look from behind
When she came home for christmas

ALBUM: FRENGERS (2003)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OUT OF CONTROL/THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS

Out of control

Sometimes I feel that I'm misunderstood
The river's running deep right through my blood
Your naked body's lying on the ground
You always get me up when I'm down
And it always seems we're running out of time
We're out of control
Out of control
Out of control
It may be that I'm just scared of losing you
Or maybe it's the things you make me do
It seems to me we both should hang around
And raise the population of this town
And it always seems we're running out of time
We're out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
But it doesn't mean we're too far down the line
We're out of control
Out of control
We're out of control
Out of control

Please give up skin, when you forgive and believe me
Always waiting to shock (shock)

So for gods sake, live in me

A walking, talking, im low
Do what you want honey bow with your pain

Loving summer, you are spring coz your my Santa Claus machine

Sugar daddy, hope you know i really think you gotta
pay for me

Blow up my chair
Go ahead suffer, dance around my handbag

What is love? but total affection
24 hours utter protection

Loving summer you are spring coz your my Santa Claus machine
(believe me)
Sugar daddy hope you know i really think you gotta pay for me

I'm so glad you ashamed
Running kula shaker birthday, the mix
When gravity kicks my ass you better pay (oh money money)
For my tits to be fixed

Loving summer you are spring coz your my Santa Claus machine

Sugar daddy hope you know i really think you gotta pay for me

Loving summer, you are spring coz your my Santa Claus machine

Sugar daddy, hope you know i really think you gotta pay for me
