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

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: IT IS SO NICE TO GET STONED/OKKERVIL RIVER

It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice

It is so nice to get stoned
And take a look off of my weary night
It is so nice to get stoned
And never ever come down

It is so nice to lay down
And watch the clouds drifting so lazily
It is so nice to lay down
And never ever come down

It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice
It's so nice

It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned

I wish I was the breeze
All the birds feathers to catch the sun
I will keep all the flying so high
And never ever come down

It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned
It is so nice to get stoned
So nice to get stoned

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LA FEE VERTE/KASABIAN

Old green fairy what you’ve done to me
I see Lucy in the sky telling me I’m high
I went out for some milk three days ago
I met Dalí in the street
He knocked me off my feet

Now I start to see that all’s not well
There’s policemen in my bed telling me I’m dead
If only I could show them what I’ve seen
I’ll have to take you down below
Where insects run the show

Sound and vision turning inside out
The lines make you look older then you’re gone

And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman
I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river

The neighbours say that I need locking up
Well it wouldn’t be a first to want me in a hearse
No one sleeps for I am still awake
Pass me over la fée verte
I’ll give you all a scare

Dogs in handbags, everyone’s a star
You look behind your eyelids then you’re gone

And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman
I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river

I’m not gonna wait for tomorrow
I just look back and wait for a sign
And I’m not gonna celebrate my freedom
So just send me down the river

And everyday I got someone bringing me down
I got the eyes of a madman, I’m chasing round
How does it feel to live your life where nothing is real?
So just send me down the river

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CHAIR/BIG DEAL

You don't trust me
The sit on your pad
Put me on a chair in the corner and stare
You don't trust me
You don't trust me at all

Only want for my lungs
Only want for the songs I write about you
About how I like you

You don't trust me
The sit on your pad
Put me on a chair in the corner and stare

I'm just helping
You're so bold listen to
Stop being sensible
Fall into my arms

Don't you wanna have that morning again
Wanna be your lover
Trying hard to be your friend

You're so sweet
And you keep me that way
Blessing my head

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HO MANGIATO LA MIA RAGAZZA/LA SINTESI

Dottore ho urgente bisogno
Di parlare un po' con lei
Ho instaurato un rapporto morboso con la mia ragazza
Ho chiuso tutte le porte con il mondo
Ho dormito abbracciato ai suoi vestiti
Volevo quasi fermarla nell'ambra
Ma poi ho capito che il posto più sicuro era dentro di me

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per la mia voglia di conoscere a fondo la verità
Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per contaminare la mia persona con le sue semplici qualità
Qualità

Volevo solo puntualizzare che non è bieca gelosia
Con quella ho sempre più o meno convissuto
Perchè la giudico una debolezza mia
Mi sono chiesto dove avesse l'anima
E non trovando una risposta
Ho pensato io la mangio e il mio metabolismo farà il resto

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per la mia voglia di conoscere a fondo la verità
Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per contaminare la mia persona con le sue semplici qualità
Qualità

Volevo quasi fermarla nell'ambra
Ma poi ho capito che il posto più sicuro era dentro di me

Ho mangiato la mia ragazza
Per allargare la mia cultura inglobando la sua
Inglobando la sua

ALBUM: UN CURIOSO CASO (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: 27/M.I.A.

Solo questa, e poi basta. R.I.P.




Said your all mouth and no brains
All rock stars go to heaven
You said you’ll be dead at 27
When we drunk in a english tavern
The owner poured you the bourbon
And you drunk your self so rotten
So he got so rich he bought a Bentley
And moved himself to Devon

You started dirty dancing
And you bar tended a dozen
I took you to the clinic
To get you clean but you couldn’t
Said in 2 days you're 27 and and your destiny was coming
So your papa passed so sudden
And left you with a little something

You blew that money on a mountain of drugs
And staged your self a bed in
A month later when I popped in
Your still high but the winter set in
I bought you a coffee and a muffin
And you quoted me some Lenin
I wished I was that clever
But thats what kept me coming
Your friendship did mean somin
But you left me for nothing
When I left, you befriended a rope
And I saw you both were hanging

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE CIGARETTE DUET/PRINCESS CHELSEA

It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad
Honey don't you love me and you know it makes me sad
It's just a cigarette like you always use to do
I was do from then I don't need them to be cool

It's just a cigarette and it hurts your pretty lungs
Well it's only twice a week so there's not much other chance
It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light
Maybe but it isn't worth that we fight
It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie Lee
She's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three

It's just a cigarette and I only did it once
(It's just a cigarette and soon be only ten)
It's just a cigarette and it's only twice a week
(It will make you sick girl, there's not much other chance)
It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did
(It's just a cigarette and we're sorry that we did)
Honey can you trust me when I want to stop I can

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES/PRINCE

In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the Disciples
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cause she could afford to feed it
And were sending people to the moon
In september my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's june
Times, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies, oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Its silly, no?
When a rocket blows
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy, truly
Until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why, sign o' the times
Time, time

Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's to late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
Well call him nate, if it's a boy
Time, time
Time, time

ALBUM: SIGN 'O' THE TIMES (1987)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEMOIR/CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG

The city lights are beckoning
Their sirens softly call
All the fantacists and fetishist
Are preparing their ball
We've been stuck here on the doorstep
With nothing to forsake
But we might as well be anyone's to take

So I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
The tenderness I felt
Has been replaced by something new
And in the end I can vaguely hear an outline of your call
But I may as well be any words at all

Every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul
As you patiently await
I lose my sense of self-control
You put the lighthouse to my broken boat
But I left you behind
Now I might as well be anyone's to find

Take my body
Take it from me
It is no warning
Of your memory

Remember you undressing
As I set myself on fire
And the funeral was quick
As I lay lifeless on you part
And it's a kind of desperation
And it's just something you can't fake
How we might as well be anyone's to take

So, I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
But the unity I felt
Has been replaced by something new
And I hang like Mary Jane
I know that I'm am poor
But I may as well be anyone at all
Yes, I may as well be anyone at all
No, I may as well be anyone at all
No, I may as well be anyone at all

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GHOST/WHIRL

You leave me
You leave me again
Can't change how I feel
I cannot pretend
That I don't feel
That I'm not real

You're a ghost
A haunting dream
Hold me close
Stay with me

You lied to me
You lied to me before
I can't trust you
I cannot ignore
The things that you do
Because it was always you

You're a ghost
A haunting dream
Hold me close
Stay with me
Even if it's just make believe

ALBUM: DISTRESSOR (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WILL DO/TV ON THE RADIO

It might be impractical to seek out a new romance
We won't know the actual if we never take the chance
I'd like to collapse with you and ease you against this song
I think we're compatible, I see that you think I'm wrong

Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
What choice of words will take me back to you

Your love makes a fool of you, you can't seem to understand
A heart doesn't play by rules and love has it's own demands
But I'll be there to take care of you if ever you should decide
That you don't want to waste your life in the middle of a lovesick lullaby

Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
The choicest words will take me back to you

Oh my reddest rose
Caldera, set it off
How your fire grows
Hermosa caldera
Glistening through your fussed blows
Careen your caldera
Set it off
As your body flows the second hand flashes
Passes over your skin like time

My love
Any time will do, my love

Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
No choice of words will break me from this groove
Any time will do, my love
Any time will do
No choice or words will take me back to you

And I see you
And I know that just so young
And I chase you
And I know that just so young
And I need you
And I know that just so young
And I get you
And I forget that you're young

Can't afford wait now
Can't afford wait now
Can't afford wait now
Can't afford wait now

And I hold you
And I forget that you're young
And I kiss you
And I know that just so young
And I need you
And I forget that you're young
And I please you
And I know that just so young

And I had you
And I forget that you're young
And I scare you
And I forget that you're young
And I leave you
And I know that just so young
And I miss you
And I know that just so young

Can't afford wait now

Can't afford wait now
Can't afford wait now

And I forget that you're young

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CUT OFF/KASABIAN

John was a scientist, he was hooked on LSD
Interested in mind control and how the monkey held the key
Said that all life is experiments, somebody's planning for the heir
It's for the unexpecting citizens who hallucinate in fear

Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts
Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts

In union station, with a package in my hand,
Tied to the suspect, he chanced him where he stand
And I don't think you realize he's coming for your neck
And the sound is breaking all around, he's keeping lives in check

Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts
Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts

Making his getaway, through a punched up mirror,
Blend into the crowd, and hit a system screaming
And all those spies that strikes you here are clinging to their gun
And if you smell those omens man, I think you better run

Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts
Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts
Chew the backbone
A solar system
These clever convicts

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNO/MUSE

This means nothing to me
'Cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away
'Cause you could've been number one
If you only found the time
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the chance

You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away

You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue
You could've been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the time

You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away
You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away

ALBUM: SHOWBIZ (1999)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE WHORES HUSTLER AND THE HUSTLERS WHORE/PJ HARVEY

Speak to me of universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me people bleed
Speak to me your song of greed

Speak to me of your inner charm
Of how you'll keep me safe from harm
I don't think so, I don't see
Speak to me of your inner peace

Little people at the amusement park
City people in the dark
Speak to us, send us a sign
Tell us something to keep us trying

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

Speak to me of heroin and speed
Of genocide and suicide, of syphilis and greed
Speak to me the language of love
The language of violence
The language of the heart
This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth don't ever mean enough
Speak to me of heroin and speed
Just give me something I can believe

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustler and the hustlers whore
This city's ripped right to the core

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MEATHOOK/THE CURE

I went into the butchers
I said wanted wanted wanted some meat
I said pass me some of that steak over there
It looks so sweet
I lost my heart to a meathook

That butcher man was some lady
You know he really stole my heart
He hung me up on his meathook
A real piece of slaughterhouse art
I lost my heart to a meathook

I got a meathook in my heart
Tearing me all apart
Ripping out my insides
But I just can't get away
I can't leave my meathook

ALBUM: THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SO WHY SO SAD/MANIC STREET PREACHERS

Things get clear when I feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
When I'm this still you are my life
(When I'm this still you are my life)
So at ease in the midnight sky
(So at ease in the midnight sky)
But my insides will look like war
(My insides will look like war)
Paralysed except through my thought

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad

My smile as real as a hyena's
(My smile as real as a hyena's)
Burns an expressway to my skull
(Burns an expressway to my skull)
But I'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that I no longer pretend

So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad

ALBUM: KNOW YOUR ENEMY (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE PERFECT DRUG/NINE INCH NAILS

I've got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
I've got my heart but my heart is no good
And you're the only one that's understood
I come along but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you, the more I die

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

You make me hard, when I'm all soft inside
I see the truth, when I'm all stupid eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart
My blood wants to say hello to you
My fears want to get inside of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little there is left of me

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug
You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug

Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
It's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SO YOUNG/SUEDE

She can start
To walk out
If she wants

Because we're young
Because we're gone
We'll take the tide's electric mind

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon

Because we're young
Bcause we're gone
We'll scare the skies with tigers eyes

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon
Let's chase the dragon
Let's chase the dragon

From our home high in the city
Where the skyline stained the snow
I fell for a servant
Who kept me on the boil

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon
From our home
From our home
From our home
From our home
