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: YOUNG AGAIN/PAUL BANKS

Diretto da Sophia Peer

Time is disgraceful
We’re all just watching these things fall apart
And silence seems wasteful
When I know what’s coming for me in the dark

‘Cause I am young again
Thanks a lot
I’ll be young again
Round, round
I am young again
Thanks a lot
I am young again
Round, round

Jobs are disgraceful
Think that they’re suffering from a clark
I size my intention
It just seem small in the wrong rights

‘Cause I am young again
Thanks a lot
I feel young again
Round, round
I am young again
I am young again
I feel young again
Round, round
Thanks for my spot
Thanks for my spot

I am young again
I am young again
I feel young again
Round, round
Thanks for my spot

Feelings over
We mean is over
Feelings too much
Leave me so far

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: APOCALYPSE DREAMS/TAME IMPALA

This could be the day that we push through
It could be the day that all our dreams come true
For me and you
Terrified me enough just another day

You're too terrified to try your best
Just to end up with an educated guess
Not success
Let us dance you wake up mystified

It feels so real in my sleep
Never felt so good so close I do with you
Until the day this could be feeling
Do you realise that I could feel it

Everything is changing
And there's nothing I can do
My love is turning pages
While I am just sitting here

Well am I'm getting closer?
Will I ever get there?
Does it even matter?
Do I really need it?
Wish that I'd remember
And I'm on the outcome?
Did I really want it?
Does it really matter?
It was only yesterday
Didn't even know you?
Now I'm gonna miss you

Nothing ever changes
No matter how long you do your game
It's the same to everyone else
Everything is changing
I guess I should want my love
But she'd just be excited

ALBUM: TWO WOUNDED BIRDS (2012)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPEED THE COLLAPSE/METRIC

All the way from where we came
We built a mansion in a day
Distant lightning, thunder claps
Watched our neighbour's house collapse
Looked the other way
And when the storm was over head
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
We auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Pushed away I'm pulled toward
A come down of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A come down of revolving doors
Fate don't fail me now

And when the days that followed past
In another mansion built to last
From our window we could see only possibilities
Down the road and back
But then the storm returned for more
In a come down of revolving doors
Auctioned off our memories in the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Pushed away I'm pulled toward
A come down of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A come down of revolving doors
Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now

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: FUNERAL MARCH/TIGER WAVES

When you lie I still want try
You're writing letters in my hand
If you want I still write home
I'll make you on you hand
I would not, I would not believe you
I would not, I would not believe you
I would not, I would not believe you
I would not, I would not believe you

I know that this is not your favourite time
I'll show that this is not your new compathy
I know that this is not your favourite colour
I know that this is not your way to be kind

And when you sign it's in your eyes
You're writing something on my hand
Don't chase away, just let me stay
I'll make myself more tolerable

I know that this is not your favourite time
I'll show that this is not your new compathy
I know that this is not your favourite colour
I know that this is not your way to be kind

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: RUBBER/YUCK

If I put rubber in your head
Would you make something that time will stand?
I've tried painting on the walls
But I've done nothing that stands alone

If I put rubber in your skin
Would you move around and rub it in?
I've tried painting from the inside out
But I've done nothing that I can shout about

Should I give in?
Should I give in?
Should I give in?
Should I give in?

Should I give in?
Should I give in?
Should I give in?
Should I give in?

If I put rubber in your hand
Would you make me into a man?
Put me on a chain and change my name
And lead me to the place that I need to go

Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in

Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in
Yes, I give in

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SEX CHANGES/THE DRESDEN DOLLS

Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. sender
We're pleased to inform you that your applications been accepted
Starting from the time you get this letter
Your life will be one never-ending “hope you're feeling better”
You get your choice of an aesthetic
We'll need to chop your clock off (tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock)
It might not be what you expected
There is no money back once you've been ripped off, ripped off, ripped off
Today's a very special day
The boys'll murder for it but what will the neighbors say
It leaves you feeling pretty hollow
It might be nice to look at
Don't forget you're stuck with it tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow

You're big enough to stop pretending
You'll start to really show within a week or so
So don't go saying it's just come to your attention
You'll get more than you're asking for without the right protection
Today's a very special day
And how you'd love to have a little thing with which to play
But love won't get you very far
Today be still your beating heart
You'll have to keep on feeding it tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

Boys will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys will be boys
Will be girls with no warning
Girls will be girls will be guys will be boys that don't cry over toys that they use to beat girls they despise by the morning
They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you

No second thoughts the knife is nearing
You'll never hear the little pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Of this little feat of engineering
Of course I love you and of course it's what's inside that matters
But I think the whole charade is ending
It seems to me to be the only way to keep from getting
Caught up in a long life of regretting
The doctors said that once you get a taste for it you'll keep on cutting

But while you happen to be here
Why don't you whisper all those sweet forevers in my ear
Stiff upper lip for all this sorrow
Hurry up and stick it in
You never when it will end
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SUBURBS/MR LITTLE JEANS

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
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
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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOME IS A FIRE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

Diretto da Shepard Fairey and Nicholas Harmer

Sleep, sleep with the lights on
Shutter and shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise, cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
There's nowhere left to go
Watching the room tweak
Through cracks in the concrete

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

Home, home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong love
They're only so strong love

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
As yesterday

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T GIVE UP ON ME NOW/BEN HARPER

Time, it opens all wounds
And trust, gonna put me in the tomb
The world isn't mine
The world isn't mine to save
I can't afford to lose
What you resell and throw away

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now

It's not what we do
It's what we do, it's what we feel
Takes all you have to stare it down
And whisper devil no deal
And I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna fight my father's war
You can wait your whole life
Not knowin what you're waiting for

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHANGES/STARS

Diretto da JARON ALBERTIN

This time in between the day and the night
The light kills my sense of life
So scared, I'll turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
It's dull, this dusk, this desk, this dust
My eyes adjust, I'll blow out the flame
Can you and me remain

Changes, I've never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
Caught between the gold and the gain
Changes, I've never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
Caught between the cold and the wave
My heart beats up again

Once said, words make a world of their own
I misread, I can't get you back on the phone
So tired, I'll turn it off, turn it off, turn it off
How's that last week we were whole
You're far away and I hardly know
Can you and me delay

Changes, I've never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
Caught between the gold and the gain
Changes, I've never been good with change
Troubled when it all stays the same
I'm caught between this cold and the wave
My heart beats up again

Are you my trouble
Are you my trouble
Are you my trouble
Trouble, are you my trouble
Are you my trouble
Are you my trouble

So you will

You need to keep
And if you break it
You'll never leave

Don't change the way you are
Don't change the way you were because I said
Run away from your mistakes
And all you hate because you said
So you will

You need to keep
And if you break it
You'll never leave

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BABY BLUE/SCANNERS

Baby blue
This is not the sky that you know
Still you smile
While your jewels and your rings sparkle slow
You wanted to fly
But crashing down you go

Baby blue
Never think of home
It’s a razor blade
It’s a cross for your back
And he lied
When he said he’d come back
You wanted to fly
It seems like a flood a river of blood inside

Want to try but it all tastes too sweet
And every guy is just rewind repeat

Here we are again
Here we are again

All of your gold, all you your smiles
All of your love, all of your whiles
All of you joy, all of your pain
Now it’s all gone you’ve started again
All of you time in bubblegum days
Why do things change
Why don’t they stay the same
All of your hope, all of your heart
All of your heat, all of your dark
Secrets you keep, all to be part
Of the love that you keep
I would just try to
Drag you from deep, wake you from sleep
Bring you back home,
There I would keep you safe

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UBERLIN/R.E.M.

Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

Hey now, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station
Hey now, don’t forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand-million people, that’s astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

I don’t mind repeating, I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something
Are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

I know, I know, I know that this is changing
We walk the streets to feel the ground I’m chasing: ÜBerlin
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE STARS CAME OUT ONCE THE LIGHTS WENT OUT/THE VEILS

I'm caught between the pen and the page
Lost in the remains of the age
Daddy when you were young was it all this strange?
Fear's inching up the ridge of my spine
The talking clock reminded me
I've never felt all myself and I don't know why

I can't seem to get to grips with it
I almost touched my fingertips to it
Why oh my, oh my?
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
And I could not speak so I had to shout
And then the moon passed sadly by

The joys are few and far between
I've got the Doomsday app on my iPhone screen
Honey I've seen the truth and it's worth than it seemed
Sins derived and sins original
Lies eclipsed and lies made visible
I'm turning my back on the world and fixing my eyes on the sky

I can't seem to get to grips with it
I almost touched my fingertips to it
Why oh my, oh my?
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
And I could not speak so I had to shout
And then the moon passed sadly by

Love, will I see you again?
'Cause I could do with some mending
Love, will I see you again?
'Cause I'm through with pretending
Will I see you again?
'Cause I could do with some mending
Will I see you again?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TRIATHLON (CASASONICA REMIX)/CRISTINA DONÀ FEAT. SAMUEL

So che un braccio dopo l’altro
Porterò a destinazione
Questo corpo calpestato
Dalle tue rigide mancanze
Ho attraversato giorni da diluvio universale
Ora so scivolare sull’acqua
È una questione orizzontale
Scivolerò sui tuoi rimpianti
Mai pianti con me
Scivolerò, ma il tuo amore dov’ era?

Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua

La ruota davanti m’implora
Di non insistere con la pressione
Il cuore sul manubrio
Sembra pronto a decollare
Hai trasformato pianure
In salite devastanti
Ora tornerò a sognare
Coi miei occhi scintillanti
Aumento la distanza
Il vantaggio su di te
E non aspetto che qualcun altro provveda

Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua

I piedi toccano terra
Comincerà la resurrezione
È l’ultima parte di fuga
Vedo la polvere che si solleva
Fuori da un passato confuso
Con dentro l’alibi di una visione
Continuerò la corsa
Ma non sono più preda

Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro non ceda
Tengo al minimo il battito
Controllo che il respiro mi segua

It's changed

Non vivo in me
Non sò chi sei
Prendi per te

Così mai più
Rimani giù
Forse a Gesù non crederei
Se fosse qua

È in fiamme ormai
Razzi, arpia a danni miei
Più che mai a danni miei
Pause nel tempo riavrai
Mentre la mente è in orbita
