LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JUBILEE STREET/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS

On Jubilee Street there was a girl named Bee
She had a history but she had no past
When they shut her down the russians moved in
Now I'm too scared to even walk on past
She used to say all those good people down on Jubilee Streetnick
They ought to practise what they preach

But here I come up the hill pushing my wheel of love
I got love in my tummy and a tiny little pain
And a 10 ton catastrophe on a 60 pound chain
Pushing my wheel of love up Jubilee Street

The problem was she had a little black book
And my name was written on every page
A girl's got to make ends meet even on Jubilee Street
I was out of place and time and over the hill and out of my mind
On Jubilee Street
I oughta have practised what I preaach
These days I go down town in my tie and tails
I got a foetus on a leash

I am alone now
I am beyond recriminations
Curtains are shut
Furniture has gone
I am transforming
I am vibrating
I am glowing
I am flying
Look at me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WE NO WHO U R/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS

Tree don't care what a little bird sings
We go down with the due in the morning light
The tree don't know what the little bird brings
We go down with the due in the morning
And we breathe in it
There is no need to forgive
Breathe in it
There is no need to forgive again

The trees will stand like pleading hands
We go down with the due in the morning light
The trees all stand like pleading hands
We go down with the due in the morning light
And we breathe it in
There is no need to forgive
Breathe it in
There is no need to forgive again

The trees will burn with blackened hands
We return with the light of the evening
The trees will burn blackened hands
Nowhere to rest with nowhere to land

And we know who you are
And we know where you live
And we know there's no need to forgive
And we know who you are
And we know where you live
And we know there's no need to forgive
And we know who you are
And we know where you live
And we know there's no need to forgive
And we know who you are
And we know where you live
And we know there's no need to forgive again

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WOLF LIKE ME/ANNA CALVI

Say say my playmate
Won't you lay your hands on me
Mirror my melody
Transfer my tragedy
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the sunset shifts
When the moon is round and full
Gotta bust that box
Gotta gut that fish
We could jet in a stolen car
But I bet we wouldn't get too far
Before the transformation takes
Its bloodlust tanks and
Crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
My body's framed
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My heart is strained
But god I like it
My mind has changed
My body's framed
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My heart is strained
But god I like it

Charge me your day rate
I don't let you out in time
When the moon is round and full
Gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your mongrel mind
Baby doll I recognize
You're a hideous thing inside
If ever there were a lucky come
It's you, you, you, you

My mind has changed
My body's framed
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My heart is strained
But god I like it
My mind has changed
My body's framed
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My heart is strained
But god I like it
My mind has changed
My body's framed
But god I like it
My heart's aflame
My heart is strained
But god I like it

Dream me oh, dreamer
Down to the floor
Open my hands and let them
Weave onto yours
Feeding on fever
Down on all fours
Show you what all the
howling's for

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHOOT FIRST/THE JIM JONES REVUE

We could leave anyway you want
What you show gonna find out soon
When perfection is what you got
Soon it's taking another tune

Shoot first
And it's greatest lady

So do you do what do you don't
And no more time to play it cool
You got the wheel but they don't watch
You better move, don't be a fool

Shoot first
And it's greatest lady
Shoot first
And it's greatest lady

'Cause it's no matter what you want
It's all the thing you want
It's dragging energy to your mind
Shoot first

Make sure it's long

Shoot first
And it's greatest lady
You've got it
Shoot first
And it's greatest lady

It's no matter what you want
What you got and what you fall
You came and get this eve
Out of the dark

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DIFFERENT STARS/TRESPASSERS WILLIAMS

So you'd sing a lullaby to get me to sleep
So it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy
For I've not seen you in the flesh for so long
That I'm not sure we would know each other at all

The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are

So I will hum alone, too far from you
All that I say now is nothing to you
We will lie under different stars
I am where I am and you're where you are
You're where you are

The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don' t think twice wherever you are
And I'd ask if you're all right wherever you are
And do you think of me, you might, wherever you are

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DO YOU LOVE ME?/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS

I found her on a night of fire and noise
Wild bells rang in a wild sky
I knew from that moment on
I'll love her till the day that I died
And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the various sorrows
Some begged, some borowed, some stolen
Some kept safe for tomorrow
On and endless night, silver star spangled
The bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Like I love you

She was given to me to put things right
And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her
Still I seemed so obselete and small
I found god and all his devils inside her
In my bed she cast the blizzard out
A mock sun blazed upon her head
So completely filled with light she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad
Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Like I love you

She had a heartful of love and devotion
She had a mindful of tyranny and terror
Well, I try, I do, I really try
But I just error, baby, I do, I error
So come find me, my darling one
I'm down to the grounds, the very dregs
Ah, here she comes, blocking the sun
Blood running down the inside of her legs
The moon in the sky is battered and mangled
And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Like I love you

All things move toward their end
I knew before I met her that I would lose her
I swear I made every effort to be good to her
I made every effort not to abuse her
Crazy bracelets on her wrists and her ankles
And the bells from the chapel go jingle-jangle

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Like I love you
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Like I love youDo you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?

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: THIRSTY DOG/NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS

I know you've heard it all before
But I'm sorry for this three year war
For the setting up of camps
And wire and trenches
I'm sorry for the other night
I know sorry it don't make it right
I'm sorry for things I can't even mention

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

You keep nailing me back into my box
I'm sorry I keep popping back up
With my crazy mouth
And jangling jester's cap
I'm sorry I ever wrote that book
I'm sorry for the way I look
But there ain't a lot that
I can do about that

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

Forgive me, baby but don't worry
Love is always having to
Say you're sorry
And I am, from my head
Down to my shoes
I'm sorry that I'm always pissed
I'm sorry that I exist
And when I look into your eyes
I can see you're sorry too

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD/JOE COCKER

Baby you understand me now
If sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things goes wrong
Your bound to see some bad

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Then sometimes again it seems
All I have is worry
Then your bound to see the other side

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy I want you to know
I didn't mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
But thats one thing I never ment to do
Cause I love you

Now baby I'm just human
Got my faults like anyone else
But sometimes I find myself
All alone regreting
All the foolish things that I have done

Oh but I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh lord ,please don't let me be misunderstood

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WAHT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE/DINAH WASHINGTON

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
